Rebecca Addington b. cir 1785 S.C.
I am searching for info on my gr gr grgr grandmother who was Rebecca Addington b. cir1785 in S. C. According to family lore, Rebecca's family came from England and that there may have been some relation to the Duke of Wellington.Rebecca became an orphan upon the death of her father and thepossible remembered names of some of her siblings were Sabra (male), Rachel and Thomas.It is believed that Thomas may have become a river boat captain.She married John Black and had four children before his untimely death left her children as orphans, in Kentucky, as history repeated itself.
I have been reviewing the descendants of Henry Addington and I have been wondering if possibly Rebecca could have been the daughter of James McGinnis b. 1753 in Bucks Co., PA., who married Rebekah Garrett in 1776 in Union Co., S.C.James d. cir 1799, leaving among other children, Rebecca, Rachel and Thomas.
I would appreciate any info or assistance anyone could give me.I would gladly exchange info.
Thank you.
God bles,
