We have no proof of Rebecca's birthplace. Some censuses show born in PA and some show IN. We believe she was born in Indiana County, PA due to various documents.
She married Anthony Houk, Sr., on March 20, 1846 in Stark County, OH. They had ten known children.
Rebecca and Anthony moved to Tiffin, Seneca Co., OH by 1870 census and were divorced in Tiffin in March 1871. Rebecca remained in Tiffin with some of her children and then moved back to Massillon, OH and lived with one of her married daughters until her death.
