She married a Perry Clarke Giddings November 15,1879 in Brown County Illinois. I found her listed on the 1880 Census with Perry as her Husband. My sister talked to a cousin and he seemed to believe she was born in Illinois in 1861 and died in 1911. Our cousin said she had gone to the doctor a few days earlier and that Rebecca commited suicide when my Grandmother Bertha M. Giddings was around 18 years old. Her husband Perry had left her many time in their marriage and he had taken their 3 older living children with him when he left. These children would have been Clarence Giddings, Arthur Giddings, and a Ethel Louise Giddings who married a man by the last name Peters. I have found some things on these 3 children. But nothing at all on Rebecca Jane Moore Giddings. She is supposed to be Buried around Rushville Illinois some where. I have also been told that Rebecca's mother also committed suicide at a young age. But we can not find who her parents were. Any help would be great.
