      Birth: 1812 in St. Clair's Bottom, Washington, Virginia 1
      Death: BET 1830 AND 1842 in Ashe County, North Carolina
      Note:
      Rebecca's only living child, Matilda, was born in Dec 1829.

      1830 Census Ashe County
      Solomon Jones household had 2 females under 5 and one female 20-30. So it appears that Rebecca was still alive at this time, but evidently they lost the other girl before 1840.

      1840 Census Ashe County
      Solomon Jones household had 1 female 10-15 (Matilda) and one female 20-30 which could have been Rebecca, who would have been 28, or his younger bride who would have been 21 (see next census).

      1850 Census Ashe County
      Solomon Jones had one daughter Matilda, and a new wife, Tamsey age 3, and a seven year old son Leander.

      So Rebecca likely died between 1830-1842 based on the age of the son Solomon had with his second wife.

    • Virginia Marriages, 1740-1850: "Drewry [sic] Senter & Polly McClure, 29 Jun 1809, Washington, VA."

      The religious ceremony may have taken place on 6 June and not been recorded at the court house until 29 June 1809. On the other hand, one or the other date may be incorrect.

      In any case, note the spelling of his given name, "Drewry," which probably represents a phonetic pronounciation. Also, note that she married under her informal name, "Polly."
