Hi Sharon,
I was just looking over various posts made in the past and saw that I never responded to yours.Have you found any more on your Rebecca?It is a name used in my Posey line for several generations.I have concluded that William Posey and Hannah were the parents of my Benjamin and Humphrey.I haven't researched to see if I could find any other siblings.I do intend to do that.However, in the History of Henderson County it is stated that there were as many as 5 children in this family.I would imagine that there is a good chance that one of the girls was named Rebecca.I also think that the Francis Posey who was in the 1810 Census is probably a sibling also.
I have not looked at the children of Francis.I haven't looked at the 1790 Census lately to see if there were any girls listed or not.If so, then it is possible that one may have been a Rebecca.Until I do further research, I can't say that Francis had children or not.I have thought that possibly Hannah and children may have been living with him and his wife, Mary, who was Hannah's sister.I also think possibly Francis was William's brother.I haven't researched this yet but have found where a William Posey died in the Rev. War.That may be why I have not found him in any of the Census reports.
