Biography

Rebecca Holland was daughter of Col. Holland of Crislo, Bucks.[1]

Rebecca Holand, daughter of Cornelius Holand esquire of Creslo, married Daniel Axtell, son of Daniell Atell esquire of Barkhamstead, 20 July 1659 at Chesham in Buckinghamshire. [2][1].

The family left England for South Carolina about 1681. Daniel died shortly thereafter, but as "Dame Rebecca Axtell," she lived on until 1720.

Lady Rebecca Axtell made her will 5 Apr 1720, which unfortunately was lost or destroyed about 1865.[3]

She was buried as "an Anabaptist" 20 Jan 1720/1, the same year the will was proved.[4]

Holland-7977 and Holland-4592 appear to represent the same person because: Either these are the same person (with completely spurious dates on Holland-7977) or they really are of different gernerations, in which case 7797 did not marry David Axtell in 1693 ten years after he died. They either need merging to the correct version or 7977 needs divorcing from David Axtell and sourced as a new profile.

I'm sorry to see that the merge was incorrectly done in the wrong direction. The request specifically requested the use of the HOLLAND spelling. In the future, if you disagree with the specifics of a request, please discuss before completing the merge in the opposite direction.

Holand-58 and Holland-876 appear to represent the same person because: Please use the HOLLAND spelling, as that was what it was in contemporary records. Thank you.

One place said she was born in 1640, another 1643, she had a daughter by the same name in 1670...., looks like I got confused on the marriage date, still researching SC records.
