But her tombstone on FindaGrave in Delaware County's Hope Cemetery got me to thinking:
Did they spell her name "Rebeca" on the stone because there was not enough room for two c's?
Makes a person wonder.
Michael John Neill's genealogy website. Things that cross my path, general research suggestions, and whatever else ...with a little bit of attitude. I don't post "news" just to post it, never post a press release (edited or otherwise), don't feign excitement, and pretty much say what I think.

It sure looks as though he ran out of foom:} Whether he was figured the spacing wrong and didn't want to start over, or if that they way it was spelled - could be either.:}
On the gamily plot of my Avery family, the name is spelled Avery, Arey, Avry, and I think another on differnt stones.:}

My Family name on my great-grandparents headstone is misspelled as well. I never thought that this is why. It does make sense that the last letter was dropped because of space.
