Her father could be John McConnell, born 1721 and died 12/30/1801. Buried at Centre Presby Church, Mooresville, Iredell County, NC
She died 1830 or later.
The 1812 will of Mary Winslow McConnell (widow of John McConnell Sr) mentions her children, Rebecca Cook, (daughter Sally), Sarah Wilson, Ann Cook, Jean Cook (daughter Polly), granddaughter Davidson, and Benjamin McConnell (two grandsons.) Alexander Torrence is appointed the executioner of the estate. (This is Rebecca's brother-in-law.)
............................................................
The McConnell family was deeply entwined with the Cook & Lawson families as several siblings of each family intermarried in Iredell County, NC.
Rebecca McConnell first married Hugh Lawson Jr, an older gentleman in 1770. Together they had at least six known children:
-Margaret Lawson (1771-1799) married William White
-David Lawson (1773-1799)
-Mary "Molly" Lawson (1776-1853) never married
-Catherine "Kitty Lawson (1777-1843) married Alexander Torrence
-Jean "Jenny" Lawson (1780-1812) married Barnabus Torrence
-Rebecca Barry Lawson (1783-1834 married Samuel Miller
Hugh Lawson Jr died in 1784. Rebecca married John Cooke in 1788. Together they had at least one documented daughter: Sarah "Sally" Winslow Cooke, who is mentioned in Mary's will and David Lawson's will. Reading the Iredell County censuses one can discover that indeed, Rebecca and John had more children.
-The 1800 Census lists two young females and a male that have blended into Rebecca's existing family. (Three of Hugh's daughters are still in the household.)
-The 1810 Census lists an additional young son under the age of 10 to the family.
-The 1820 Census finds Rebecca widowed with two young sons and an older daughter. This daughter is not Sarah "Sally" Winslow.
Researchers have concluded that one of the unknown female children from the 1800 census (aged 10-15, born about 1788) was the unknown daughter who grew up to marry James Donaldson (MEMORIAL 208022060) around 1800 and had died by 1820.
Rebecca died by 1834 as indicated by the sale of her land described in the newspaper Western Carolinian April 19, 1834. Thomas Cook turned in the land.
She died 1830 or later.
