Rebecca married Edward Richmond, but we don't seem to have agreement on which Edward Richmond she married. Richmond Family 1594-1896 and Pre-American Ancestors 1040-1594, by Joshua Bailey Richmond has her as the second wife of Richmond-30 who was son of John Richmond and Abigail Rogers. His will (cited there, in Mayflower Familes, and other sources) lists Sarah, Mary, and Priscilla as heirs, together with several children from his first marriage.

This profile was created with Richmond-810 as the husband (son of Edward and Sarah). It cites Rhode Island records for Rebecca, her marriage, and the 4 children.

We may need some additional sources to determine which version of her life is correct.

Thurston-132 and Thurston-40 appear to represent the same person because: Birthdate and husband match. Her parents' names are consistent with the names (i.e., Jonathan and Sarah Thurston) in the source I used to patch the Thurston-40 profile after removing content that had been merged there by mistake.
