NEHGR 178 lists her first among the children of Joseph and Rebecca; Savage (1:256), Joseph "by w. Rebecca had Rebecca, b. 16 Sept. 1679." Her birth record names her parents as Joseph and Rebecca Brisco. That the Rebecca of 1679 is the wife living in 1724 is assumed; no second wife is known.

A cooper (deed of 1722).

Wife of Samuel Foster (b. 1676), goldsmith, then of Thomas Morrise and William Scorch. Her husband's trust deed of 1699/1700 calls her "daughter of Joseph Brisco of Boston, baker" (Suffolk Deeds 21:150). In the 1722 sale of the Squantum land she acted as "wife and attorney to William Scorch, cooper," joining her son Samuel Foster; by 2 Aug 1726 she was "Rebecca Scorch (widow)" (NEHGR 178:34-35).

Her great-grandfather William Briscoe, a Boston tailor, was a first cousin of Rev. John Wilson, pastor of Boston's First Church, which makes her Wilson's first cousin three times removed (NEHGR 178:7-8, following Bartlett, NEHGR 61).
