Mary talks of a Rabb family in a letter to her aunt Susan Bounds Butts. She says:

"And Mrs. Rabb come to see me not long ago. Mrs. Jones (Mrs Rabb's mother) staid a week with me she gave me her picture. She is in good health. Bob, Mrs. Rabb's oldest boy is quite a handsome young man he is in the ministry in the family. Mr. Rabb is a weakly man and had the misfortune to have all his fingers sawed off of his right hand. Bob can use tools very well. Lee and Paul are little men to work. They are the size of Andrew. Either of them will go to the field and work all day alone as well as though they had their father with them. They are very hard run, lost all they had in both overflows. Every spare day they have they work for some one else and get the money and help improve their home. Mr. Rabb thinks as much of Bob as he does his own. Bob joined the church last summer. He is exactly one year younger than Cyrus."
