Biography
- Rebecca was born in 1720 and passed away in 1793.
- Born in Ireland, she emigrated with her family to America around 1727, living near John in Lancaster Co, Pa. in the 1740-1744 time frame.
Research Notes
- Maiden name has been listed alternatively as Hammond.
- In only one case, were we able to find a daughter named Rebecca who fit all the criteria- Rebecca Rankin, daughter of John Rankin and Margaret/Jane McElwee.
- The Rankin family continued its association with the McGown family, with a daugher of John McGown marrying David Cox, son of Mary Catherine Rankin Cox (as a sister to Rebecca Rankin). This pattern of intermarriage can be seen as a common pattern in Rankin marriages.
