Notes
Since Rebecca Jane is not found after the birth of her son, it would seem likely that she died soon thereafter, possibly even before the 1860 Census. Since Everett was listed as single in 1880, surely it occurred before that. Her death hasn't been found in the Massachusetts Vital Records, 1841-1910, however.
