"Rebeckah daughter to Jofeph Potter may 26 1663"
~Vital Records of New Haven 1649-1850; Part 1; Hartford; The Connecticut
Society of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America 1917; pg 19

Rebecca first married in 1675 Samuel Frisbie, born October 18, 1654 at
Branford, New Haven, Connecticut, the son of Edward Frisbie and Hannah
Culpepper. Samuel died October 17, 1681.

"Rebecca Frisbie of Branford, widow and relict of Samuel Frisbie deceased,
acknowledged to have received of John Rose her father her full portion"
might relate to the settlement of the estate of her father Joseph Potter,
which would have been under John Rose's control when he married Rebecca's
mother. Edward Frisbie, in his will, left five shillings to 'daughter-in-law
Rebekah Tyler, relict of my son Samuel.'"

Rebecca married Charles Tyler in 1682 at Branford, New Haven, Connecticut
Colony. She bore him two sons, and died in 1684 at only 31 years of age.

Rebecca Tyler is most likely buried in Center Cemetery.
"In Branford, the original burying ground was adjacent to the first log
meetinghouse. When a new meeting house was built on the Green in 1701,...the
old house was taken down. Its footprint has been free of tombstones
ever since, save for an ancient millstone, given by F. Sherwood and Mary
(Hitchcock) Boyd, as a memorial to those first settlers. Surrounding the
memorial is more than three centuries of the history of the town and it’s
a people. The place is Center Cemetery. The fore section of the cemetery
contains the oldest stones and some of the most unique and artistic
as well. Though most of the very early stones have fallen victims to the
ravages of time and weather, one has been preserved from 1694... There are
dozens of names whose families are still residents of Branford after 350
years including Rose, Harrison, Ward and Page; Linsley, Russell, Baldwin
and Pond. There are Barkers, Frisbies, Bartholomews and Tylers. Who does
not know of Blackstone, Hoadley, Plant and Palmer, all of whom gave the town
its character and flavor, in their time? These are the people who populated
our town in the days long past. All left their mark upon our town, and its
mark which makes our town special."  ~brandford-ct.gov
