Rebecca was born in 1837 in Aylesford, Nova Scotia. (According to Beck (Bartlett) Nally, the year was 1839. Which is right?)
According to Beck (Bartlett) Nally, "Rebecca Tupper and Edward Manning Downie lived in Nova Scotia. Edward was a mariner. Rebecca's grandfather was killed in a shipwreck. After Edward was in a shipwreck, they moved to Maine and later to Massachusetts."
