Rebecca Harding married Daniel Evans in Hanover in 1781. They had eight children baptised in Hanover between 1783 and 1799. In the 1817 slave register, Daniel Evans recorded enslaved people held in his own right and in right of his wife. Presumably Rebecca had died by 1820 when she is not mentioned in the slave register.
