Rebecca Hodge, (1751 - aft 1810), married Benajah Beardsley, Feb 12 1772, in Fairfield, Connecticut. They had seven children. Rebecca was probably a widow as Taylor is found as her last name when she married Benajah.
Rebecca Beardsley and Benajah, with their children, moved to Otsego County (later changed to Delaware County), New York. They bought land near to what is now Bovina, September 22 1794, a 118 acre plot and on February 20, 1795, another 105 acres of land, on the northerly side of the Delaware River.
The county of Delaware was newly settled, and had been uninhabited until 1784. A year later in 1785 the village of Delhi was begun, but it wasn't until March 23, 1798, that the Town of Delhi was officially formed, from part of the Towns of Walton, Kortright, and Middletown. At this time, it included part of what later became the Towns of Meredith, Bovina, Andes, & Hampton (later renamed Hamden). The town of Kortright was formed from Harpersfield, March 12th, 1793.
Rebecca lived in Kortright. In the winter of 1809 Benajah Beardsley left, with son Daniel and Daniel's eldest son, Barna, for Licking County, Ohio, Rebecca never saw Benajah again, as he died there, August,1810, while building a double log cabin suitable for the two families and planting corn and potatoes, on which the families were to live the following winter.
Rebecca died sometime after 1810, probably in Delhi, as she is noted in an 1810 Delhi census, living with a son.
