“The town record reads that Rebekah, third of the above children, died Sep 6, 1758. The family record gives the date 12 Oct 1780, which date I am inclined to think is correct, for I find her name affixed as witness to a deed bearing date Sep 5, 1769 and as there was then no person in the vicinity to whom the same name would apply, I doubt not she was the one thus subscribed.”607
