In a biography of Rebecca's husband published in Year Book of the American Clan Gregor Society in 1928, Robert Lee Magruder, Jr. states that Ninian Beall Magruder and his wife (Rebecca) are buried in unmarked graves in a family graveyard close to where their home was located, near Dearing and Grovetown (Georgia), the graveyard being "sadly neglected" such that the graves could not be positively identified.

Her death announcement was published in the (Augusta, GA) Mirror of the Times, dated 19 Feb 1810 (page 3):
"DIED on Sunday the 10th inst. after a short and severe indisposition, Mrs Rebecca Magruder, consort of N. B. Magruder of Columbia county, in the 75th year of her age; 58 of which were spent in the matrimonial state. Uncommonly diligent in her domestic employments, & her whole household presented evidence of her industry and prudence. Cheerful and pious, and surrounded by her numerous connections, she delighted in social intercourse, but permitted not the pleasant relaxations of life to draw her thoughts from a better world. She omitted no opportunity to advance the interests of her children, nor considered any exertion too great, that could tend to increase their happiness. Her parental fondness, her zealous exertions, the moral lessons she inculcated in her family by precept and inforced by example, will long endear her memory to those of her connections she has left behind. She bore her illness with Christian firmness, and longed to lay down mortality to put on immortality. While her companion and family mourn a dispensation which is to them afflicting, they are consoled in the belief, that living to a good old age, experienced the vicissitudes incident to mortality, she has now entered into the possession of those joys which will never end."
