Notes
According to Dick and Eleanor Weiss, Rebecca Robinson is actually Rebecca Bice, the
daughter of John Nelson Bice and Mary Robinson. However, Rebecca's marriage record clearly
lists her name as Robinson. But her father had re-married sometime before 1831 -- before
she married John Cassingham. Is it possible that Rebecca, for whatever reason, was raised
by her maternal grandparents and therefore was accustomed to using their last
name as her own? If anyone has any thoughts on this I'd love to hear from you.
