Rebecca and William emigrated to North Carolina with other members of the Dixon, Marshall, Hadley, and Stanfield families. There they reared a family of eleven children; and there Rebecca died 19 February 1803 and was buried in Cane Creek burial ground. The three Dixon children of Thomas Dixon and Hannah Hadley are buried near each other in that burial ground. The Marshall monument lies perhaps one row of graves and slightly to the left of the Dixon marker; the grave of Ruth Dixon Doan lies slightly to the right; so that all three of the children of Thomas Dixon are buried in the same area of the burial ground. Although the grave of Hannah Hadley Dixon Stanfield is unmarked, the Cane Creek Church Book gives the date of her death as 31 May 1783, and her place of burial as Cane Creek. Perhaps she, too, lies in the area occupied by the graves of her three children which she bore to Thomas Dixon. The graves of William Marshall and Rebecca Dixon, his wife are marked by a monument similar to that of Simon Dixon and Elizabeth Allen. The bronze plaque reads: William Marshall Born 1724 Died 1803 Married 1746 to Rebecca Dixon Born 1732 Died 1803 Came to Cane Creek 1754 Gave 26 acres of land To Cane Creek Meeting They lived across the Creek West of the Meeting House.
