Rebecca Moats

(1855 - )



Is this Rebecca? As far as I can determine, Rebecca may never have married, but had two daughters, Evaline who married William A. Baker, and Beulah who married Berry Bice.

Evaline's marriage is on FamilySearch.org, but the last name was so poorly transcribed it was difficult to find. William Baker, age 17, to Eviline "Males", age 18, on 16 Jan 1896, Chilton Co, AL.

1880 Census. Coppers, Chilton, AL, Hh 608
Elijah Easterling, wife Mahala, and family... her half brother
Rebecca Moats, age 25, no relation, single
Evaline Moats, age 2, daughter

1900 Census. Clanton, Chilton, AL, Hh 519
This census incredibly mixed up. David was Mahala's youngest son and Becky, or Rebecca Motes, was Mahala's sister-in-law. I suspect a wife for David was omitted and that threw off the other markings.
Mahala Easterling, head, b. Jul 1842, age 57 (married 0 years - She was a widow!)
David D., wife, female, b. Nov 1883, age 17 (married 0 years, 0 children)
Becky Ann Motes, D-in-law, b. Sep 1875 [she was born in 1855], age 24, widowed, 2 children - both living
Beulah Motes, niece, b. Aug 1886, age 13 [this part seems to be correct - Beulah as Becky's daughter would have been Mahala's niece, and Becky would have been much older to be her mother.]
