  • Notes 
    • Soon after they were married Burt and Mary took a baby boy by the name of Sam B. Baker to rear. Son of Sarah C. Cox Baker, to raise. He was a few years older than Jarrett Cox, who was born July 27, 1857.
    • Burt and Mary also took to rear Tom Qualls and Tobe Molen.
      Tom Qualls became a very rich man as riches were reckoned in his day, $75,000 or more.
      Tobe Molen moved to Oklahoma about 1900. He worked on a farm for awhile then went to the oil wells or fields to work. He studied the oil business, learned how to find and map oil fields. He worked in both the United States and Canada. The last we heard of Tobe he was on an oil exploring trip in western Canada.
