• Born: ca 1807, Georgia ¹⁸⁶³
• Marriage: Jesse THOMAS

  More Information:

• 1840 United States Federal Census, Jesse Thomas household, Murray County, Georgia ²⁰⁸²: Rebecca appears to be listed as a female age 30-40 in her husband's household.

• 1850 United States Federal Census, Jesse Thomas household, Lumpkin County, Georgia ¹⁸⁶³: Rebecca was living with her husband and children. She was listed as Rebecca Thomas, age 43, born in Georgia.

• 1860 United States Federal Census, Jesse Thomas household, Murray County, Georgia ²⁰⁸³: Rebecca was living with her husband and children. She was listed as Rebeca Thomas, age 51, born in Georgia

• 1870 United States Federal Census, Rebecca Thomas household, Logan County, Kentucky ²⁰⁸⁴: Rebecca was listed in the Keysburg District with her son, Daniel Thomas. She was listed as age 63, born in Georia.

Also living with them was James Thomas and John Akles. James' relationship is unclear. If he was her son, he should have been listed in the 1860 census but he wasn't. It's possible he was a grandchild. John Akles was probably Rebecca's grandson, John R. Echols, who was the son of Mary Thomas & James M. Echols. [John Echols was not listed with his parents in Forsyth County, Georgia in 1870 but was back living with them by 1880.]

[Cyrus Donnelly is also listed as a household member but it looks like he was possibly the head of the next household and the next dwelling & family number were just on the wrong line.]

Rebecca married Jesse THOMAS. (Jesse THOMAS was born ca 1802 in South Carolina ¹⁸⁶³.)
