Fred just got some of her details wrong.
William Slaven wasn't married at the time of Rebecca's approximate birth, and there is no evidence in the census of such a daughter.
Rebecca's husband and Ben's wife both died at about the same time, and William's administrator was Joseph Robinson, his son-in-law, and a member of the Robinson family with whom the Methenys had intermarried multiple times.
I (Brody Finney) removed the reference to the children, since Malissa is linked, and Benjamin W actually belonged to Benjamin's son Isaac.
