The following comment from Bryan McCullagh was posted on the WikiTree profile of Rebecca (Worden) Stanton.
- I have proposed a merge of this profile into Rebecca Prentice. I believe this Rebecca was born to John Prentice and Hannah Oswald in 1704, and only later became a Worden when she married Judah Worden in 1725. Married names, dates, places, and several sources are all consistent with this.\

The original error was that Rebecca's first marriage to Judah Worden became conflated with her maiden name (so, incorrectly entered into Wikitree as Rebecca Worden).
