Biographical sketch from - The Newberry family of Windsor, Connecticut: in the line of Clarinda (Newberry) Goodwin of Hartford, Connecticut, 1634-1866, by Frank Farnsworth Starr, Cambridge University Press, J. Wilson and Son, 1898, pages 36 - 38.
Rebecca Newberry, daughter of Thomas Newberry, was, according to her age at death, born about 1632. Like her brothers and sisters, she is recorded, October 10, 1640, as having at Windsor, Connecticut, "by grant from the Plantation" 13 acres Northwest from the Mill, 4 acres in the Great Meadow, and "over the Great River" a tract 10 rods wide and 3 miles long, also 1 acre near Podunk. Later she was also "possessed by virtue of the death of John Nubery" of a tract over the Great River 20 rods wide and 3 miles long. (Windsor Land Records, Vol. 1, p. 6.)
She became the second wife of John Russell, Pastor of the churches in Wethersfield, Conn., and Hadley, Mass. The date of her marriage is not on record, but in the Henry Wolcott Ledger before referred to is "a noate of the aples I sould 1651," and among the charges we find "It. to brother Russell 6 bushel 1 - 4 - 0." This would seem to prove that the marriage took place before 1652.
