Here lyes ye Body
of Mrs. Rebeckah
Willington Wife to
Mr. Thomas Willington
Who Died Novemr
8th 1734. in ye 53d
Year of Her Age.
[Age 52, so born about 1682. Note: the text on this memorial identifies Rebecca's maiden name as Whittemore. This is presumably based on Bond's Watertown, which in turn might be based on Thomas Wellington calling Samuel Whittemore his brother in law. But he appears to be referring to a different Samuel Whittemore (brother of this Rebecca d. 1724) and probably meant son-in-law, since a Samuel Whittemore married his daughter-in-law (from second wife's first marriage). The Rebecca Whitemore b. Cambridge 1689/90 (birthdate shown in this memorial) to Samuel and Mary [sic, error in VRs, his wife was Rebecca Gardner], d. 1709 age 19, see here and so clearly did not marry Thomas Wellington.]
