!Rebekah Crow b.1712, dau. of Samuel Crow of Hadley, and had respectable
relative in Hadley and Hatfield. When young, she was a girl of superior
beauty and much admired. She was wooed by a young man from Hartford, and
the attachment was mutual. She was spirited and self-directing, and in
attending an evening party in Hadley, her lover paid more attention to
another lady than she thought was proper, and her jealousy was excited and
she hastily dismissed him. According to tradition, she was, after this, in
some respects, a changed person, and did not again become a gay and springhtly
girl. She married to at the age of 49, Daniel Noble of Westfield and after his
death, lived in Hadley, and when her estate was expended, she was
maintained by the town. She, who in early life had as fair prospects as
any young lady in Hadley, died a town pauper in 1802, at the age of 90.
She possessed a great fund of anacdotes and stories, including many
witch-stories, and she delighted the young by her wonderful recitals.
