Person:Rebecca Bowerman (1)

The following record was received from Art Hubbs 23 Sept 2008:

Ontario Deaths - Bloomfield, Prince Edward County, Ontario Rebecca Jackson b. Jan. 20 d. Aug. 24 1925 aged 93 years, 7 months, 3 days burial: Aug. 26 1925 Universalist Cemetery, Bloomfield Father: John Bowerman Mother: Susan Clark Informant: Frank Jackson Bloomfield

My date calculator says that based on her age at death, she was born 21 Jan 1832. I will use the Jan 20st date on the above record. The year calculates to 1832 but that would mean that she married around 14 years of age. It is possible that the informant knew her birthday but not her birth year. If that is the case, even the years, months and days could be an estimate.

Elizabeth Archer shows Rebecca in the 1901 Census with her daugther Alberta J. and another daugther Mildred born 26 Jul 1891. Is it possible that Mildred is a granddaughter? The answer to that is 'yes'! See note in record of Etta Bell Jackson.
