Biography
Mary was born about 1697. She passed away in 1756.
1756- Delaware Indians attack and burn the house of Widow Cox (her husband John had died in 1747, Lancaster Co). The Indians capture 2 sons (Richard & John) plus son in law John Craig. The men escape after 6 months in captivity; some Cox genealogies show Mary Catherine Rankin Cox dies about this time.[1][2][3]
Mary was born in 1697. She passed away in 1756.
