Rebekah was the daughter of Godfrey Armitage, who came from England and lived first in Lynn. He then removed to Boston and married there, Sarah Webb, mother of Rebekah. Sarah must have died when Rebekah was very young, for Godfrey's mother-in-law, a widow named Rebekah Webb, left her entire estate for the care of Rebekah Armitage. In view of the fact that the grandmother and granddaughter had the same name, and the fact that the grandmother left her estate to the granddaughter, it is more than probable that the daughter of Rebekah Webb, Sarah, was the mother of Rebekah Armitage.
Rebekah married Samuel Tarbox, who was born in Lynn, Massachusetts about 1647, the son of John and Rebekah. They were wed on November 14, 1665 in Lynn. Samuel and Rebekah had five children in Lynn, and then Rebekah died after giving birth to their sixth child in February, 1676. The child, a girl named Mary died three weeks later. Samuel was away from Lynn at the time, serving as a soldier in King Philip's War.
The Old Western Burying Ground was the only cemetery in use by the whole town from its founding in 1635 until about 1720. No other place of burial, public or private, is know to have been used until the church in Lynnfield was established in 1720. Her marker would be unreadable by now.
