[Note: Burial location is unknown, but Rebecca was unmarried and died only three years after her father, Isaac. It's very likely that she's buried Harris Cemetery, near her father and mother. This cemetery has many unidentified graves.]
Rebecca Eleanor Wooden was the daughter of Isaac and Rebecca (Stephenson) Wooden. She was called "Ellen." An extra room was built onto her father's house for a school room, and she taught the younger children and grandchildren of Isaac and Rebecca there.
Ellen had a romance with a Dr. Highsmith in Carrollton, to which her father objected. Ellen never married.
Ellen had a large sum of money buried in jars. At one point, she and Nancy Jack were talking about it and had it spread out in Nancy's lap when renegades came. Nancy sat Fanny, her daughter, on top of the money in her lap. The renegades searched the premises but didn't find the money.
A receipt was found in the Carrollton County Courthouse for $10 paid to Rush Chapel "directed by Miss Wooden in her lifetime to be paid for preaching her funeral sermon," signed by J. Doolin, Preacher.

-------------------------
Rebecca E Wooden 5 Dec 1824-17Nov 1868 is buried in Old Dickson Cemetery in Bentonville Arkansas. Headstone first listed by Bentonville mayor Seamster for Godspeed History of NW Arkansas in 1889. Only 13 names were on that list, possible a few other also buried there but very little evidence available. Cemetery was "abandoned" about 1958 when headstones were removed but burials otherwise undistribued. Some headstones were taken across the street to a neighbor and several of those stones have been preserved, apparently in two, maybe three locations which I am trying to find now, document and photo. The Old Dickson Cemetery in is my back yard and is well know by those with good knowledge of Bentonville History.
