Because only head-of-household names are used in US Census records until 1850, the whereabouts of Rebecca from the time of husband Timothy's 1817 death in Springfield until the 1850 US Census is uncertain; she likely went to live with son Timothy (Jr.), as she appears with him in 1850, or any one of her other children from 1817-1850.
1850 US Census: Age 89 Residence, Eaton, Lorain, OH USA with son Timothy and his family.
