Biography

Mary was born in 1836, the daughter of Captain William O. and Henrietta (Rogers) Hester, in Montgomery County, Tennessee. In around 1843 the family would relocate to Kentucky. This is where Mary would meet and marry her first husband, Peter Tribble Fox, the son of George Washington and Mariah Boone (Tribble) Fox. They would be married on June 14, 1860, in Christian County, Kentucky, where they settled and had the following children:

William George Fox (1860–1936)

Sue H. Fox (1862–1863)

Carrie G. Fox (1863–1865)

Etta M. Fox (1865–1865)

Mary Elizabeth (Fox) Crenshaw (1867–1933)

Charles Notington Fox (1868–1954)

Peter Tribble Fox Jr. (1872–1950)

Nellie F. (Fox) Clardy (1873–1955)

Minnow Fox (1876–1876)

At some point between the birth of their last child and 1883 Mary and Peter evidently divorced. Peter would live on until 1884 while Mary wed her second husband, Samuel Rosebrough, in 1883. They were living together in Arkansas for a period of time.

Mary and Samuel had no children and she must have divorced Samuel shortly after they were married since she returned to Christian County, Kentucky, where she evidently changed her last name back to Fox and died in 1885 at just 49 years of age. Her body is buried next to Peter's in the Riverside Cemetery in Hopkinsville, Christian County, Kentucky.
