Rebecca (surname unknown)

Research note

The family tree records a wife named Rebecca for Peter Malott (b. ca 1727), with two sons, Benjamin and Joseph. This marriage is not confirmed. Peter’s wives in the records gathered by William Marlatt are Sarah (named in land records of 1754 and 1767) and, later, Rachel (named in a 1795 deed and in his 1804 will). Some family trees also name a Ruth. None of the sources mentions a Rebecca, and neither Benjamin nor this Joseph is named in Peter’s will. Peter did have a brother Benjamin and a brother Joseph, so these two may belong elsewhere in the family. See Peter’s data sheet.
