(1727-1798)
Rebecca Boylston Gill (1727-1798) was a member of a prominent Revolutionary-era family and the spouse of Moses Gill. Moses Gill was a merchant and public official whose career or family position supplies an important part of this entry’s Revolutionary context. The marriage connected Rebecca Boylston Gill to the political, military, commercial, or social developments surrounding the Revolution. This life overlapped the Revolutionary era, when war, political upheaval, disrupted trade, military service, and changing governments placed unusual demands on households and extended families. Surviving documentation is strongest in genealogical, family, estate, and marriage records rather than in a separate public biography.
