Rebecca THOMPSON

  Noted events in her life were:

• Alt. Birth, 1605, Hertfordshire, ENGLAND.

• Cemetery: Old Roxbury Hill Cemetery, 1661. The family experienced severe financial, legal , medical, emotional and religious issues culminating with daughter Rebecca
being accused and convicted of witchcraft, and in 1656, excommunicated and banished. The family then removed to Roxbury, Mass.
Rebecca Thompson Gibson died shortly after her daughter was dismissed from the church and banished from the community,
