Individual Details
Rebecca (Philadelphia) mnu KNICKERBOCKER
(Abt 1800 - Abt 1860)
Events
| Birth | Abt 1800 | NY or Mass |  | ||
| Extra information | 1800 | Rebecca appears to be the widow of the John Knickerbocker who lived in NYC in the 1830 census. The ages of John's family in 1830 fit nicely with Rebecca's in 1840. Thus, I have tentatively made the connection. Looking for proof. | |||
| Residence | 1840 | Three sons and a daughter. Sons in 1850 were John and Lafayette. Possible that the 3rd son in 1840 was Bolivar Knickerbocker. No clue about the daughter. - Spring Garden Ward 1, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA | | ||
| Residence | 1850 | Northern Liberties Ward 6, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA | | ||
| Knick Census Project: 1850 | 1850 | PA, Philadelphia, Northern Liberties, Ward 6. HOH = Rebecca Knickerbocker. Widow of John Knickerbocker. | |||
| Baptism | Apr 1850 | Name listed as Rebecca S. Knickerbocker. Same page as Sarah Knickerbocker (presumably her d-in-law, John's wife.) - Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA | | ||
| Death | Abt 1860 | ||||
| Residence | 1860 | Philadelphia Ward 7, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA | | ||
| Extra information | 1860 | Familysearch has a death record for Mrs. R.S. Knickerbocker in October 1860 in Philadelphia. Only problem: One of the records shows her age as 50, instead of 60. - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | |||
| Extra information | 1861 | Talented sons? John patented an improved boiler design. Lafayette patented an improved way to cut cards to make photo albums. | |||
| Extra information | 1861 | Son Bolivar? No proof that Bolivar (the physician) belongs to this family, but he was born in NYC and then had ties to Philly both before and after the civil war. |
