- ↑ The Vermont records online, if taken nominally give three daughters named Rebecca: one d. 20 Mar 1781, age 20 days, based on a gravestone; one b. 21 Mar 1782, d. bef. 1784 when the third one was b. 31 Mar 1784. This arrangement does not particularly push biological limits, so is not implausible, but two factors create doubt: 1) lack of death for 2nd Rebecca, and 2) birth and death are both March only a year apart raising possibilities of a misrecording. Probably the gravestone says 1781 but in the image the digit one at the end of the death year appears superscripted, which is odd, as if it wasn't finished? One might appeal to Source:Greenlee, Ralph Stebbins. Stebbins Genealogy, but it is not clear how reliable it is, appearing to have misread Thankful's gravestone, for example, and obviously somewhat ignorant of Vernon records. But it, like some other secondary sources appear to believe there were only two daughters named Rebecca, 1781 and 1784. Considering typical spacing of births, one might argue 1782 and 1784 is more reasonable (one would not expect a 3 year gap after the death of an infant age 20 days), leading one to favor the idea that there might have actually been three. However, at the time of this note, The Stebbins Genealogy has been followed regarding the Rebeccas in order to present a recognizable appearance, since the records seem confused, possibly incorrect, meaning a confident conclusion is not possible, and the long-term picture focuses on the survivor, who is the same in either arrangement.
