Rebecca was the daughter of Peter Newport and his second wife, Elizabeth Oliver Newport. She was born in Williamsburg, Massachusetts, and probably lived there until 1824, when the family's farm was sold. Most likely, she cared for her father until he died, and then she moved to nearby Cummington. She married Phillip Allen there on December 12, 1824, and died six years later. The couple had no children.
