Mrs. Rebecah Chapman wife to Mr. Isac Chapman departed this life March the 15th 1735/6
↑ ^2.0 ^2.1 ^2.2 Rebeckah Rebecca Leonard Chapman, in Find A Grave.

includes an image of her gravestone with the inscription:
Her lyes y^e Body of M^rs Rebeckah Chapman Wife to M^r Isaac Chapman Who Died March 15 AD 1736 in y^e 80^th Year of her Age.

The gravestone is legible enough that it might be a reproduction of an original, in which case, the original might have had the year 1735, changed to 1736 in the reproduction.

In the 80th year of her age means she was 79, but given that she died early in the year, she was more likely born in 1656 than 1657 (assuming her age was accurate).

Based on the information in this account and Wikipedia information about the forge at Raynham (which was part of Taunton at the time), Rebecca's father and her uncle Henry established the forge at Raynham some time between 1652 and 1655. Henry moved on to Lynn by 1655, but it appears that James (and his descendants) remained at Taunton.
