Rebecca was born in 1798. She was the daughter of James Turner and Jemima Wells. On 20 Dec 1813 she married Esrom Tipton (1788-1870) in Madison, KY. They moved to Boone, Missouri in early 1820s. It is here she passed away in 1846.
The Tipton Family Burying Ground is believed to be located on this farm. It was described many years ago as being in an open pasture, in a clump of bushes and small trees not many yards from the county road, passing along it's north side. It was unkept and only two head stones remained and were lying on the ground. They were for William T. Boyd and James W. Boyd both sons of Mary Jane McKinzie and James Boyd. it is assumed that this is the resting place of Esrom Tipton and wife Rebecca as they do not appear in the cemetery records for Boone County.
