Individual Details
Zibeah ADAMSON
(25 Feb 1810 - 28 Mar 1891)
Married Alexander Cox, son of William and Jane Roubottom Cox. Died in Lawrence Co IN. Bible records show Alexander as born 10 Oct 1813. Their children in the Bible are listed as:
Henry, born 17 Nov 1836
Tabitha, born 3 Feb 1838
Rachel J., born 22 Oct 1842
Sintha Ann, born 29 Nov 1846
Abel L. born 16 Aug 1848
Note: this does not explain George W., age 3 months, and Lucinda, age 6, in the 1850 census - were they a nephew & niece rather than children of Alexander & Ziba?]
Simon Cox, brother of Alexander married a Rachel Adamson. I'm not sure which Rachel this was.
The marriage is in the Indiana marriage database, Lawrence Co., Zeba Adamson to Alexander Cox, 23 Oct 1834.

Obituary - which has her maiden name wrong!

...Her father having died in Tennessee, she came with her widowed mother to Indiana in 1817 when she was seven years old. Her mother settled near where the town of Williams now stand, and where she died in 1850.
Zibia was married to Alexander Cox in 1834; eight children were the fruit of this marriage; two of whom, Henry and Jane are now living. ...she took into her home and gave her kindness and care to a number of orphan children.
