Jimmy LeidermanBarry, it is William Crossley.
He was a pretty good cricket player at the time and his name can be found in some books.
"The Tented Field" is one that comes to mind right now, and there's another one that I don't remember right now but it's a book that covers one of the 1850's USA-England matches.
Btw, have you tried contacting the C.C. Morris Cricket Library at Haverford College?
