In this 1880 record Rebecca is living next household to Harriet Nightser Jackson, her sister-in-law. Rebecca is also in the business of weaving carpet as is Harriet's husband, Nathaniel Jackson. Note that in the 1850 census, Rebecca's husband was a shoemaker and apparently his grandson had some connection with that occupation.
