Information on Rebecca, wife of James McKeachy
James McKeachy named his wife Rebecca in his will, proven in September 1805 in Botetourt County, Virginia. McKeachy was also named as "brother in law" in the will of John Mason, Jr., written in 1760, placing his wife Rebecca as a possible sibling of John Mason, Jr. More research is necessary to prove this relationship:
- McKeechy, James - Will probate Sept. 1805. Names wife, Rebecca, and son Andrew. [Source: Early Marriages, Wills and some Revolutionary War Records, Botetourt County, Virginia, Compiled by Anne Lowry Worrell, pg. 60].
