• Notes

  Nathaniel Cross, a mason like his father, helped build towns in five states -- New York, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Illinois. He met Samantha Harding in Binghamton, N.Y., where they married and had most of their five children. They moved west with their family, following parents and siblings to the upper Midwest. After their children were grown, they moved again, to Dakota Territory, to a pioneer town that never quite took hold. They ended up back in Chicago.
