The year of this document is written as both 1756 and 1757, depending on where you look. On the first page, it says it was the 30th year of the reign of King George II. That would make it Jan. 1757. The second page shows a correction in Rebeckah's death year from 1756 to 1757. Presumably the document writers were still becoming accustomed to the year starting in January.

The day of the bond regarding administration is Jan. 4, 1757, but the day of Rebeckah's death is harder to read - it might also have been the 4th.
