Biography

Rebecca was a Friend (Quaker)

Rebecca Russell was born 7 March 1748 to Timothy Russell and Rhobe Potter in Dartmouth, Massachusetts.[1][2]

On 29 April 1767 ("29th, 4 mo. 1767") she married Thomas Akin in Dartmouth.[3][4]

She was granted a certificate to the New Bedford monthly meeting from the Dartmouth monthly meeting on 8th mo. 16th 1802 [16 Aug 1802].[5]

Rebecca died in 1803 in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Records are in conflict as to the month of her death.[6]

Rebecca has a Find A Grave profile which asserts that her remains were interred at the Quaker Meeting House Cemetery in South Yarmouth, but acknowledges that there is no stone present. The profile asserts she died on 17 August 1803, but as above mentioned, records of the month of her death are in conflict with each other.[7]
