Rebecca was not mentioned in the will of Nicholas Stillwell (dated January 19, 1715).

Rebecca STILLWELL (NICHOLAS5, NICHOLAS4, NICHOLAS3, JOHN2, JOHN1) was born 1675 in Gravesend, Long Island, New York, and died Abt 1715 [her husband remarried in 1702]. She married Abraham EMMONS October 20, 1693.[1]

Rebecca Stillwell was bapt Jul 14, 1678, Flatbush DRC Baptisms 1677-1754, Kings, Brooklyn, NY. She may have been born in 1678 or earlier. Her two sisters, Anna and Catarina were also baptized on July 14 1678.

Death Discrepancy

Rebecca Stilwell died ca 1701/1702. possibly at Yonkers, NY

[Rebecca's last child was born in 1701. She may have died giving birth or shortly after. With so many young children to raise, Abraham needed a new wife. Abraham married Grietje Willemsen 17 August 1702. Some sources have her death at about 1715, but that date doesn't doesn't fit with this marriage.]

<Over the years, the Flatbush Dominies frequently had responsibilities to other congregations as well. Thus, they saw to the record keeping as was convenient to their travel schedule among the Dutch congregations they stewarded. Ceremonies over which they officiated, therefore, might take place within the precincts of one church, but be recorded on another congregation's books. In some cases, such records found their way into the Consistory books of a congregation, as is the case with the Flatbush Church records compiled here. Marriages were not performed in the Dutch churches but rather at the home of the bride, typically, or at some other domicile, or at the minister's home, in the case of out-of-towners. For nearly 150 years, the East Woods boers made their way west to the Flatbush Church for Sunday services and the baptisms of their children. Concurrently, nuptials performed at New Lotts by the Flatbush minister were recorded at Flatbush, or elsewhere along his route.> Flatbush Bapt.
