"The remains of a stone just south of James [at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery] probably mark the grave of Rebecca, second wife of James [Requa]" (re: The Old Dutch Burial Ground at Sleepy Hollow, 1926.) Before 1898 "The Family of Requa" apparently found her gravestone still reasonably intact, whose epitath included "The loving wife, tender mother and sincere christian."

Rebecca's maternal grandparents, Capt. William Pinkney and Ithamar Pell, are interred at St. Paul Episcopal Churchyard at East Chester, NY.

Rebecca m. before Nov. 1766 as his second wife, James Requa, Sr., Esq., s. of Capt. Glode Requa, Jr. and Amy Dean. Due to the lack of when her husband's first wife, Marritie Ecker, died it is impossible to say how many of James Requa's thirteen children were by Rebecca.
