Biography
Rebecca was born about 1670 in Newport, Rhode Island. She was the daughter of Thomas Dungan and Elizabeth Weaver. Her father was a Baptist, and a prominent figure in Rhode Island, serving in the legislature, but removed to Bucks County, PA, in 1683, presumably bringing 13 year-old Rebecca with him. She married Edward Doyle there in 1687 and had at least 3 children with him. Rebecca (and Edward) were baptised in 1692 (or 1696)
Daughter Elizabeth became famous as a Quaker minister.
Edward Doyle died in 1703. Rebecca married David Griffith in 1705 (1706 per Justice) and had several children with him.
Rebecca died in 1722 and was buried in the Cold Springs Church Cemetary, near her parents, first husband and other family members. This cemetary was lost long ago.

Research Notes
The Marriage section used to contain the date 1663 with an irrelevant citation. That is unlikely, as Rebecca was born about 1670.
The findagrave link shows an image reporting her second marriage.
