| Notes |
- Rebecca's maiden name was VanHuss per their marriage record. But she has also been recorded as Rebecca Minton and Rebecca Cole.
In the 1870 Census, Rebecca VanHuss is living with her two daughters, Mary (8) and Nancy (11), in Rosehill, Lee County, Virginia, where she and her daughters are born. A husband is not mentioned in the census and neither does it indicate if she is a widow. Her occupation is listed as Keeping House. Daughter Nancy is listed as no income and there is nothing listed next to Mary under occupation.
This Rebecca VanHuss is not found again in census records. A Rebecca VanHuss is found living later in Brown Co., Texas, where she died. Also in Brown Co., is Mary M VanHuss Lambert, believed to be the younger daughter of Rebecca and John VanHuss. A Rebecca V VanHuss and John VanHuss are living in Tennessee in the early 1900s where they both died. Both were born in Virginia, but their birthdates do not line up with the correct Rebecca J. VanHuss, not to mention that John Michael VanHuss died years earlier.
Rebecca's age has varied between the two census years she is found in while living in her native Virginia. In the 1860 census, she is listed as 27 while in the 1870 census she is shown as 30 years old.
When Mary VanHuss Lambert died, her death certificate listed her mother's maiden name as Minton. Her husband was the person providing the information for the death certificate and, therefore, provided the name of Minton.
