Note	BIRTH: Stephen Dodd, "The East Haven register : in three parts" (New Haven [Connecticut] : A.H. Maltby, 1824 ), Vol. 2, 974.67/E1 V2 . Her birth date is given in her death record as 1737. She was not listed with the family by Miller ("Some Descendants of Robert Porter, Farmington Connecticut 1640," compiled by Margaret Porter Miller, Gateway Press, 1986. F.H.L. book 929.273, P835m, p. 39.) In the book Cross-Index to New Haven Genealogical Magazine Volumes I-VIII, inclusive Families of Ancient New Haven (available on Ancestry.com), the Jocelyn/Joslin families are listed. Rebecca is not there, although the birth of her sister Abigail is recorded in East Haven. Apparently the family went somewhere else before she was born. Since there is no documentation for her birth in this family we have to prove her to the family in her mother's probate. Abigail (Abbot) Joslin left a will dated January 1768, which was not proved until 1802 (New Haven District Probate, file 5909). Although the will gave everything to daughter Sarah, wife of George Landcraft, the probate file contains an undated untitled document (perhaps drawn up in 1802), listing seven Joslin children and their heirs or husbands "In Conn:" Nathan Jocelins Heirs Simeon Jocelin, Pember Jocelin Abraham Jocelins Heirs Desire Wooden Joanna Jocelen m. Elijah Atwood John Jocelins heirs Abigail Langworth & husband Abraham Jocelin Rebecca Joselins heirs (nothing written) Anne Jocelin m. Hastins & Gilson (Amee or Anne is written above the word Gilson.) Sarah Jocelin m. George Landcraft This list includes Rebecca.
