She married William Fowlkes on 1799,
son of John Folks/Fowlkes.
Dau of James HANKS?
buried in Fowlkes Cemetery now lost, no stones
aka
Rebecca's death certificat notes that she was buried in the Fowlkes Family Cemetery in Carroll County, Virginia. (thks S. Moore )
on Stewarts Creek near the Surry Co, NC line and where they lived out their lives.
NOTE
From David Andrew Sturgill's Book:
There is some question about the identity of Rebecca, wife of William.
My grandmother, Tabytha Fowlks Sturgill, said that her grandmother Fowlkes was a Hanks, and other descendants of William and Rebecca have the same tradition. "
This tradition is supported by existing letters written in 1887 and 1897 in which Matilda Hanks, D/O Samuel Hanks of Surry Co., NC, addressed grandmother and her sister Phoebe as "cousin".
There is no way this and other known family relationships could be, unless Rebecca was a daughter of James Hanks of Wilkes Co., NC.
Children of Rebecca Hanks and William Fowlkes are:
I. Nancy Fowlkes,

NOTES
Born in Lincoln Co, NC. she married her husband William Fowlkes, probably in Wilkes Co, NC but no record has been found.
It is uncertain where they made their first home as later census records do not agree on the birthplace of their first two children.
They livd in either Surry Co, NC or Grayson Co, VA.
Shortly before 1810 the family moved to Sullivan Co, TN, but were in Wythe Co, VA in 1820.
In 1825 they bought a farm in Grayson Co, VA (area now Carroll Co.) on Stewarts Creek near the Surry Co, NC line and here they lived out their lives.
Their place of burial is unknown.
Public records and known family kinships identify the children.
