     Rebecca was born in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, England. She was christened there on 12 February 1634 in The Priory Church of St. Peter.2 Rebecca married Humphrey Booth on 9 January 1656. On 10 April 1657, the couple sold property in Watertown and where described as being of Charlestown, where he was a merchant. In her mother's will of 1676, Rebecca's husband, Humphrey, was mentioned, but not her. As her mother had mentioned other siblings and their spouses, it appears that she had died by this time. It is assumed Rebecca died before 28 October 1676 since she was not mentioned with her siblings in her mother's will of this date. Her mother mentions her husband, Humphrey Booth, but not her, as she had done with her other daughters.
