Some Notes from Barbara Ribling on Rebecca - "Q. John BAYLES married Rebecca STILLWELL or Rebecca Vincent WHITNEY. A. John married Rebecca. I don't know who Rebecca was. I have found no records that give her name prior to her marriage to John. John and Rebecca's first daughter, Rebecca (they had 2 of this name) married Nicholas STILLWELL. I believe that those who call Rebecca a STILLWELL may have her confused with her daughter. Some descendants think Rebecca was Rebecca Vincent WHITNEY before her marriage to John. Those who have researched the WHITNEYs have not found this name. There was, however, a descendant of John and Rebecca who was named Vincent Whitney BAYLESS. Vincent Whitney was a well known man in Binghampton, NY, where the family of V.W. BAYLESS lived. I think it is likely that V.W. Bayless was named after this popular man and not after an ancestor."
