Unknown-254963 and Evans-1121 appear to represent the same person because: the Unknown record was wrong--confused with for 2 women. I worked with managers and now the Evans record is right. These 2 need to be merged and everything from the original removed. Please email me if you have another plan to straighten out this mistake.

Curtis, I think I found the reference but it should be 1791. It is the Will of her father John Evans written 1791, Sussex DE, probate 1795 who names her as Rebecca Mumford. Without looking at the distribution of the estate to see if she was still living in 1795, it is safer to use 1791.

Evans-2579 and Evans-9488 appear to represent the same person because: Rebecca m Mumford after Showell and sold her Showell dower and inheritance of Lemuel Showell (parts of same property) with Mumford, as they were guardians of Lemuel .

The Holloway Bio has multiple dates for many items. Believe Rebecca Holloway Timmons a different one than Rebecca Evans wife of Armwell Showell and Sacker Mumford. See my sources at end
