Rebecca is believed to have been the daughter of Jerusha (aka Gerusia) Patrick and John Young, the granddaughter of the Revolutionary War soldier, Jeremiah Patrick, who is buried in Magoffin Co., Kentucky, and his wife, Sarah "Sally" Blair.
Rebecca married Morris Adkins on Mar 12, 1820, in Wayne Co., Kentucky. When Rebecca died, she and Morris were living on his land, which was later known as the Carter D. Dalton or Dee Dalton farm. That is where Morris buried Rebecca, although soon after that he sold it and moved to Alabama with a second wife. There were later burials in that small cemetery which became known by the Dalton name. It has been rumored there may have have been some much older Native American graves there too, that had no connection with the Adkins or Dalton families.
Although there is documentation concerning the location of Rebecca's burial, the exact date of her death is unknown. Over a century and a half after Rebecca's death an inscribed tombstone was placed on her grave in Wayne Co., Kentucky about 2011. At that time it was believed she died in 1835 so that is what is shown on her tombstone. Then evidence surfaced that her last child, Catharine, was born in 1836, a year later than shown on her tombstone.
Rebecca and Morris Adkins were the parents of seven children: Pharaba, George Washington, William, Benjamin Franklin, Samuel, Andrew Jackson, and Catharine. The oldest child, Pharaba, married Jonathan Bertram, son of Nancy (Stinson) and William Bertram, on 17 Apr 1840 in Wayne Co., Kentucky. Pharaba and Jonathan remained in Wayne Co., Kentucky the rest of their lives although Rebecca's other children moved away.
After Rebecca's death, Morris married Martha "Patsy" Lawrence and moved to Alabama. Most of his children by Rebecca relocated with him.
