Rebecca M.J. Smart married Jesse Pell 13 Mar 1828 in Livingston County, Kentucky. They had two known children - Jane and Amanda.
According to the 1850 Livingston County census, Jesse Pell was born about 1807 in Kentucky. He died before 3 April 1854, when Craig S. Harris was appointed administrator of the estate of Jesse Pell.
Jesse Pell may very well be buried beside Rebecca. This tombstone looks as if it might have been taller at one time. There is a thin line of mortar around the stone where it connects to the base, which appears to be of concrete. The tombstone and base do not match.
