Biography

If Rebecca is the female of age between 20 and 30 in the 1840 census, then her birth year is 1810-1820. Year 1810 makes her age about 16 at marriage.

Notes

Caution: Birth date is a complete guess based on date of marriage.

There are Knowles grandchildren listed in the will of father Reuben Ransom, probated in 1832, but Rebecca is not listed as a child. She may have died before 1832.[1]

The 11 Oct 1832, Clarke Co., GA, will of Reuben Ransom names "son in law Isaac Knowles; my grand children, Thomas, Reuben, Elizabeth, William, Sally and Mary Knowles." [2] The will does not name his daughter who was the wife of Isaac Knowles. Since this Rebecca (Ransom) Knowles is linked as the wife of Britton C. Knowles and her children are shown as Tabitha Knowles, Mary Jane (Knowles) Wilkins, and Frances R. (Knowles) Watson - none of whom are named in the will of Reuben Ransom of Clarke Co., GA, I've detached this Rebecca as a daughter of Reuben Ransom
