Rebecca's father Jesse Cox Jr. died near Ft. Scott,Kansas during the Civil War. Jesse and a number of members of the Cox-Quarles family were camped near a government wagon train, as refugees from the battles in northern Arkansas. Several members of the family died of disease while there. Jesse died of typhoid.
I understand that after the war, any burial remains that could be found were interred at Evergreen Cemetery near Fort Scott. So, Jesse's grave site is also unknown.
Rebecca gave her services as a midwife in the Dade County community, assisting with the delivery of many babies. It is known that she was also called on for other medical assistance, and would go to Sedalia, Missouri for supplies at her own expense. Family members report that she delivered all her grandchildren born in the Dade County area.
Rebecca was the mother of thirteen, including her two step-daughters. Children China, Henry and David died as children, grave sites unknown. David, October 12, 1856 - December 16, 1857, in Benton County, Arkansas. China A, March 3, 1860 - April 19, 1863, and John Henry, May 2, 1862 - March 29, 1863, both died from a measles epidemic at the refugee camp near Ft. Scott, Kansas during the Civil War.
