Rebecca was born in Shenandoah County, Virginia, to parents John Hartshorn Hendren and Rebecca Baker. They removed to Ohio, where she married Dr. Wellington Stanbery, son of Congressman William Stanbery, on 27 Feb 1841 in Licking County.
Rebecca's maiden name was written as "Hendrew" in the restored** Licking County marriage record, and this has become widely accepted as her maiden name. But I noted that there were NO Hendrews buried in all of Ohio. There were, however, many Hendrens, including in Licking County. I decided that the name was probably "Hendren," and the ending "n" was misread as "w". I subsequently found a Hendren in their household, and another next door, on the 1860 census of Delaware County, both born in Virginia as well. These were two of Rebecca's brothers, I surmised. (They are buried at Greenlawn Cemetery.) When I entered Rebecca and her brothers into a Public Tree search on Ancestry, I found them in a family tree with father John Hartshorn Hendren (buried at Hebron Cemetery in Licking County) and mother Rebecca Baker (burial location unknown).
**The original Licking County Probate Court's marriage record books were destroyed by fires in 1875 and 1879. All marriage records before this date were lost. A few marriages were re-recorded.
