  • Notes 
    • (Research):Burrell P. Shaw indicates that her parents were Henry Gomer Forrest (b ca 1773 Culpepper Co VA) and Mary "Polly" unknown. However, John Dodgens Forrester's wife, Mary Jollett, was also known as "Polly", which would make it possible that they were Rebecca's parents. I think Burrell Shaw indicated that there are two boys older than the ones listed - William and Joel, no. one and two on list.
