Marriage*26 August 1737She married Nathan Smith, son of Ephraim Smith, on 26 August 1737 in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England). They were both listed in the Haverhill record as "of Boxford."1,2 
Note* Early in the history of the town of Shirley, Massachusetts, Nathan Smith, with his wife, Rebecca, and their family settled on a farm there in the vicinity of the 1882 residence of Abram Fairbanks. It is not yet known from which branch of the original Smith settlers he was descended, although it is believed he spent his youth in Boxford, Essex County, Massachusetts before relocating to Shirley in the early years of his marriage. He occupied but a humble position in the settlement, and his name does not appear among the 1 Mar 1747 petitioners for a division of the territory of Groton and the incorporation of a separate town.1 
Death*12 February 1784She died on 12 February 1784 in Shirley, Middlesex County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress).1
