"The Salyer Family" book states that Ezekiel's daughter born 6/7/1686 died at age two. Either Ezekiel had another daughter with a later birthdate, or this is not his child.

The Birthdate is definitely wrong if this is meant to be the Rebecca that married Charles. I've seen other lists, that show Rebecca born circa 1697-1700. Renaming a child after a deceased sibling was a common practice and *might* be the cause of the confusion here.

I looked at the source on RootsWeb about the descendants of William Salyer. It stated that Rebecca Bloomfield, daughter of Ezekiel, died in 1688 at age 2. If this is accurate, then the Rebecca that married Charles Salyer couldn't have been the daughter of Ezekiel Bloomfield and Hope Fitzrandolph.
