  • Notes 
    • Rebecca is the daughter of Reuben & Elizabeth Cleaver Burr, born 3 Aug. 1802 in Catawissa, Pa., died 5 March 1874.

      They were Quakers, & Rebecca was disowned 13 Dec. 1822 for her marriage outside of the Friends.

      . 1882 2nd month 14th day. Rebecca Willson formerly Burr (having had a right of membership amongst friends) has so far deviated from the rules of the Society as to marry a man not a member thereof. And Friends having treated with her on the occasion, but she not appearing in a disposition to make satisfaction for her outgoing.
      We therefore disown her, & consider her no longer a member of the Society until she comes to a sense of her deviation so as to make satisfaction to this Meeting.
      Signed in & by order of Yonge Street Monthly Meeting, Watson & Priscilla Player, clerks.
