Born into a prominent Philadelphia Quaker family, Mehitable “Hitty” Cox married John Markoe in 1804. They had 11 kids, their youngest being William Markoe (grandfather of John Prince Markoe, SJ). After John’s death in 1834, Mehitable guided her family through a period of transition, ultimately relocating west.
