"Cross, George Dilwyn, jurist, b. in Westerly, R.I., 24 Jan, 1799; d. there, 1 Oct., 1872. He was educated at a private school in Lebanon, Conn., and entered public life in 1821. He served six terms in the general assembly, was state senator in 1826-'35 and 1848-'50, chief justice of the court of common pleas for Washington county in 1837-'49, and in 1840 was one of the commissioners for fixing the boundary-line between Connecticut and Rhode Island. In 1842, and again in 1853, he was elected a member of the conventions to amend the state constitution. He held many offices of honor and trust in his native town, interesting himself especially in the matter of free schools."
