Most old family histories give her name as Rebecca (?Hobart), not being sure she was a Hobart. Records online nowadays, most researchers give her birth date as 16 Dec 1611 but according to the Bangs family history, she was a sister of Rev. Peter Hobart who came to Charlestown, MA in 1633 from Norwich, Co. Norfolk, England, with their father, Edmund Hobart and in 1635 they moved to Hingham, MA. Also coming with Edmund was his wife and children, Edmund, Thomas, Sarah and Joshua. Rebecca is also said to have been age 37 when they moved to Bear Cove, near Hingham, MA, in 1635. This information does not seem to be correct though in that Rebecca would have been over 50 years old when her last 2 children were born in 1851 - dates obtained from the Eastham records.
