Rebecca Margaret Hunter

-
Name Rebecca Margaret Hunter Born 4 Dec 1855 Lawrence, Essex, Massachusetts, United States [1, 2]
- The birth certificate was an extract and says she was born 11 December 1855, but the original birth ledger from Lawrence shows 4 December. The original registrar used ditto marks to indicate the same day as above and the person creating the birth certificate apparently misread them as 11.
