Sharyn,

Thanks for getting on top of this and returning her b. date back to what you had originally put in back in 2014. The Rebecca Holmes that was born in Halifax on 1 Nov. 1742, was in fact, the daughter of Ephram Holmes and Margaret Washburn, but the merge with this Rebecca in 2018, was apparently not correct.

I believe that Rebecca Holmes Shurtleff is not the daughter of Ephram Holmes and Margaret Washburn but the daughter of Sylvanus Holmes and Mercy Harlow.

IN pages 81-82 in Vol 1, the Fourth Generation of Descendents of William Shurtleff of Plymouth and Marshfield it states that Peter Shurtleff was married to Rebecca Holmes, daughter of Sylvanus Holmes and Mercy Harlow.
