I found a John Rankin with wife Elizabeth, with a sister Rachel, b Ireland, in Washington County, Iowa in 1870. He was born in Ireland. Elizabeth b Pa. No proof this is the right family but they were not in Indiana in 1860 or 1870.
I found nothing on Rebecca. Do you have anymore information on the family?
There were two Roberts families in Floyd Co in 1840. One a Hardin Roberts had no children the right age.
This one had two daughters who might be them.
