Rebeckah Lawton
F, #7882, d. before 1742
Family: William Brown (b. 1709, d. 1762)
Biography
| Marriage | 10 December 1734 | William Brown and Rebeckah Lawton were married on 10 December 1734 in Portsmouth, Newport County, Rhode Island, "m. by John Wantoh, Governor." Listed between "John, of Tobias" and Nicholas (also a son of Tobias). Rebeckah is listed on William's Findagrave entry as one of his three wives. Two children are listed to William and Rebeckah in the Portsmouth Vital Records, p. 61 (see attached): Hannah 23 Jun 1735 Caleb 6 Nov 1736 Then next on Arnold's list, there are two listings that only mention Rebeckah: Thomas, of Rebeckah, June 10, 1741, d. Sept. 22, 1743 Chase Godfrey Cornell, of Rebeckah, 7 Nov 1746. If this is the same Rebeckah, there is a conflict because William, son of Tobias, married Judith Palmer in 1742. Further research needed.1,2 |
| Death | before 1742 | She died before 1742 If Rebecca was a wife of William Brown, she must have died before his marriage to Judith Palmer in 1742. |
