- Notes:
Many online genealogies claim that Rebecca, wife of John Duncan, is the daughter of Jeremiah Meacham and Rebecca Hawkins. This appears to be false as Rebecca's son John Duncan was baptized 3 months prior to the marriage of Rebecca Meacham to John Larkin in 1769. Other children by Rebecca and her husband John Duncan were baptized after the marriage of Rebecca Meacham to John Larkin. So the parentage of this Rebecca remains unknown.
