Research Notes
A Rebekah, child of Caleb, was baptized on July 10, 1687.[1] This seems late for a baptism of a child born in 1678, however there is no death for a previous Rebecca in Watertown. Information not seen in Watertown Source, Page 44 Aug 2020.
Mayflower Profile Checklist (Temporary)
The Mayflower project will be updating this profile. We encourage you to help where you can. Would you like to join your Mayflower Family team? Contact Anne B
Use the check list to evaluate each profile. As tasks are completed, mark them done. When the whole list is complete, leave a comment on the profile stating it's checked. '''=== Mayflower Project Checklist Completed ===''' will be added to profiles after the Sources section and before Acknowledgements.
General housekeeping
Does the profile belong in the Project?
Project box in place - Mayflower Family Member or Mayflower Passenger -
Mayflower Project as manager? Other managers are ok also.
Duplicates?
Are the categories appropriate?
When you think you've completed your work on the profile, check the Suggestions for it using the pull-down menu at the top of the profile that is headed by the profile ID (ex: MacIntyre-123). Solve any issues listed. (or mention them in the comment section.
Data section
Data Correct? birth date and place, parents, marriage date and place, death date and place. Pay close attention to before, after, estimate, exact. Do they agree with what's in the bio?
If no children, check the box. If no more children/siblings, check the box.
There is on the marriage page a place to click no spouse.
Check the appropriate certainty and confidence buttons and no middle name if appropriate (it usually will be before 1700).
Biography Section
Good Bio?
Are there sentences with clear sources for the data points?
Does the bio agree with the data points?
If a marriage is mentioned in the bio is it also in the Data section?
Good Sources? There are plenty of primary sources for passengers and children and good secondary sources. Ancestry trees, Millenium file, Yates Pub., Find a grave indexes, Find a Grave without stones are not acceptable.
Children list (sourced)? Each profile of a person who had children should have a list of those children at the end, (with some identifying fact). One secondary source for the list is fine. Their profiles will have better sourcing.
Are the children attached the ones on the list? Do the facts agree?

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Rebecca by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Rebecca:
The ultimate goal of the Mayflower Project is to have well written profile biographies using Mayflower Society sources, supplemented by primary and reliable secondary sources. Example: Billington-69 I've added the checklist that Anne & I have been using when we update a profile thoroughly. When you work on the profile, keep the checklist in mind and if you feel you've completed it and are ready for a final check, let one of us know and we'll do our final sweep. If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to check with either/both of us.
Many thanks for your help!
