Rebecca Kendall

No record has been found of the birth of Rebecca, who married Thomas Kendall, nor of her parents. She was born about 1618, based on her reported age at her death from her gravestone.[1] Torrey gives her surname as Paine, but with a question mark. Multiple unsourced Internet sites say she was Rebecca Payne, daughter of Anthony and Alice (Potter) Payne, but none cite any evidence, and there is evidence that disproves this. Her surname remains unknown

Marriage

Rebecca (Unknown) married Kendall-28 before the birth of their first known child, at Lynn Village (Reading), Massachusetts, on 17 Feb 1642.[2] No record has been found of their marriage. Death and Burial

Rebecca Kendall died at Reading, Massachusetts, on 17 Jul 1703.[3] She is buried at the Old Burying Ground, now in Wakefield, Massachusetts, where the inscription on her stone called her the widow of Dea. Thomas Kendall who died on 17 Jul 1703, aged 85 years, and added "Here lyeth the 'mother of ten,' who had 175 grand and great-grand children."[1] Research Note

A previous version of this profile claimed she was daughter of Anthony Paine.

The will of Anthony Paine is abstracted on his profile, and it lists two daughters but no daughter named Rebecca, even though Rebecca Kendall was very much alive when Anthony Paine died. See this discussion for an analysis of the sources.

1620 · The Pilgrims Board the Mayflower Age 2 "The Pilgrims boarded the Mayflower in search of religious freedom in the New World in September 1620. The Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England, with 102 passengers, 40 of whom called themselves ""Saints."" After two stormy months at sea, the ship reached the New World. Nearly half of the group died during their first winter due to malnutrition and the harsh New England winter." 1642 · The English Civil War Age 24 A series of conflicts regarding England's governance during the years 1642 to 1651 is now known as The English Civil War. Charles I summoned supporters to join him against his enemies in Parliament. In October 1642, nearly 10,000 men fought for Charles I and chased Parliament across the River Tamar. Fighting continued for years and was finally ended at the Battle of Worcester on September 3, 1651, with a Parliamentarian victory. 1688 · Glorious Revolution Age 70 The Glorious Revolution brought the downfall of Catholic King James II and the reign of his Protestant daughter Mary and her Dutch husband, William III of Orange.
