FRANCES VAN BIBBER (Elizabeth' Hays; Susannah6 Boone; Daniel'; Squire; George3).
Married Cyrenus Cox, of New York State. He was a carpenter by trade, and went to Missouri by way of the Ohio River from some point near Cincinnati. In company with a man named McFarlane, a blacksmith, he started out for Booneville, Mo. On the way they stopped over night at Isaac Van Bibber's tavern. Van Bibber was erecting a new building, and being sadly in need of a carpenter, he persuaded Cox to remain and assist him with the work. Cox did so, and later married Van Bibber's daughter Fanny (Frances), at about the time the new building was completed. By that time, it is said, Cox's clothes were so badly worn out that he walked to St. Louis, ninety miles away, to buy new clothes in which to be married. He was accompanied by McFarlane, who had also remained at Loutre Lick. After his marriage Cox built a home near Van Bibber's tavern, where they lived until their children were all grown. Cox never went to Booneville, his original destination.
