Biography

Birth 1700 Garton on the Wolds

Rebecca was born in 1700 in Garton on the Wolds, Yorkshire East Riding, England. ^[1]

Marriage 1728 Garton on the Wolds

In 1728, still in Garton, she married John Horsley ^{[2] [3]} They had eight children between 1729 and 1745, all in Garton on the Wolds.

Death & Burial 1770 Garton on the Wolds

Rebecca (Sever) Horsley died in July 1770 and was buried in Garton ^[4]. Family Search which suggests a death date of 11 Nov 1749 is surely wrong because the subject is called Rebecca Sivier (not Horsley) and is a widow when John is almost certainly alive.
