Rebecca is reported to have been from Ireland. Alternatively, she is supposed to have been a Melungeon, of mixed Indian, black, and/or Portugese and white background.

The two fathers of her two sons did not marry her. She named the boys using their fathers' surnames as their first names:

Stokes H Brooks - father Samuel Stokes

Young Nathan Brooks - father's given name unknown - Mr. Young

Because Stokes H Brooks and his wife were not buried in an easily located cemetery, their information appears in the memorial of their son, Larkin, Find A Grave Memorial# 83053466.
