  Death Notes:

Note that daughter Sallie is listed in 1900 US Census as born in June 1882, which puts Rebecca's death date of 1881 in doubt.

  Noted events in her life were:

1. Alt. Birth, Cir 1849, North Carolina, United States. ³⁵⁸⁶

2. Census, 1850, Chatham County, North Carolina, United States. Rebecca J Smith [maybe this one] is 4, living with parents Swain A (29, farmer) and Sally (35). Other siblings are Robert U (7), Orran H (6), Matilda (2), Wm Taylor (3 months). (Upper Regiment, Chatham Co, NC, p424, family 1080)

[I was unable to find Swain or Sally in the 1860 census, increasing the likelihood that this is the correct Rebecca and she had to go live with another family when her parents died]

3. Census, 1860, Chatham County, North Carolina, United States. Rebecca Smith [maybe this one] is 14, living in household of Enoch (35) and Jane (33) Gross. (Fall Creek PO, Western Division, Chatham Co, NC, p 16, family 131)
