Rebecca Marshall

ESTATE No will or deed of gift of land has ever been found for Captain Thomas Marshall. Even more puzzling is that he never once mentioned any of his children in any known document. His wife, Rebecca is named in various deeds after 1646 bur not before[4]

MARRIAGE #2 Circa 1646 when Thomas was 33, he second married Rebecca [surname not known], in Lynn, Essex co., MA or Reading, Middlesex co., MA[1,50,51,52,53,54,55,56]. Lindberg claims this marriage is in the Reading, Middlesex co., MA vital records, but I cannot find it there. The date is estimated from the birth of their first child in 1647. Rebecca was born in 1622[1], as she was aged 34 in 1656. She died in Lynn, Essex co., MA during the "latter end" of August 1693; she was 71[1,3].

CHILDREN:

1. Thomas1 MARSHALL [twin] Thomas1 was born on 20 February 1647 in Reading, Middlesex co., MA[61]. The birth record reads "Marshall, Thomas, s. of Thomas and Rebecca, d. of Thomas, Feb. 20, 1647"[61]. Many thanks to Marcia Lindberg for correctly reading this record! Thomas1 must have died before 16 April 1650, when another Thomas was born to the couple.
2. Rebecca MARSHALL [twin] Rebecca was born on 20 February 1647 in Reading, Middlesex co., MA[61]. The birth record reads "Marshall, Thomas, s. of Thomas and Rebecca, d. of Thomas, Feb. 20, 1647"[61]. Rebecca never again appears in the records of either Reading, Middlesex co., MA or Lynn, Essex co., MA. Chances are good that she died young. Mortality rates for multiple births were high.
3. Elizebeth MARSHALL Elizabeth was born on 22 January 1649 in Reading, Middlesex co., MA[21].
