Notes for Rebecca WHEELOCK



The record of Rebecca's baptism was found in the Eccles Register. The village of Eccles is just west of Banham, Norfolk, England, where the baptismal record of Rebecca's sister, Mary, was found. The record reads as follows:

"Rebeckah Wheelocke filia Radolphus Wheelocke & Rebeckah Uxoris eius baptisatus Vicesimo quarto [24th] Aug: 1634"

The Roxbury Vital Records indicate that Rebecca died in childbirth. However, no child is shown being born to John Crafts and Rebecca in 1667. The date of death is given as 28 Nov 1667; the date of burial 24 Nov 1667. Obviously, these records must be in error.
