...................3 *Seley Adeline Cross (F) b: July 12, 1878
...................3 *Solis A Cross (M) b: 1879

*There is some dispute as to whether Seley & Solis are the same child or separate children. Some family members think they are the same so I am posting this here out of respect for their beliefs. When we know for sure which is which, then I will correct this line. In the Rootsweb transcribed Hardin Co. TX 1880 Census for this family, there is listed "Solis A. Cross, W M 1 Yr". In the Ancestry.com image for this page (Year: 1880; Census Place:  , Hardin, Texas; Roll: T9_1308; Family History Film: 1255308; Page: 428.4000; Enumeration District: 30;), there is a "Selie A. Cross,  W M 1 Yr" BUT there is an "X" through the name. Perhaps there is only the one child and these are the same children...but which name is correct? "Adeline" is generally accepted as a female name but in both cases, this child is recorded as "M". It is accepted by the family that there was a Seley (named for Celia Dover) and the child was a female. Solis is a male. Part of the problem stems from Angelina telling the 1910 census taker that she had bore 11 children and only 4 were still living, however, we know that census takers some times received their informatiom from other family members who were present or that they didn't always get the information correct. One thing is without a doubt, this is another mystery in the Cross line.
