In 1850 at age 47, she lived in Philadelphia with her sister Rachel (Boss) Evans and family.[2]

Note that there is a Rebecca M. Boss buried in the same cemetery with this Rebecca's parents Jacob and Sarah Boss in Hunterdon County, NJ, but she is definitely a different person, who died in 1867 at age 55 years, 8 months, 21 days (so born 2 Feb 1812). Rebecca C. Boss was still alive as of 1870.[5]
