The marriage record for Benjamin and Rebecca refers to her as Rebecca Kinney. Rebecca Kinney was probably Rebecca Nurse, born 15 Sep 1688, Salem Village, Essex Co., MA. She married Jonathan Kenney 21 Dec 1709 in Salem. Jonathan and Rebecca moved to Sutton in the early 1720s, where several of their children were born. Jonathan Kenney died in Sutton in 1731. Rebecca Nurse was the daughter of Samuel Nurse (who refers to her as Rebecca Kenney in his will, recorded in Salem), and the granddaughter of Rebecca Towne Nurse who was executed in the Salem witch trials.
Benjamin Wheelock's will refers to "his dearly beloved wife ... and to her heirs and assigns", implying that Rebecca Kinney had been previously married. There don't seem to be any other Rebecca's of the right age who married a Kenney who could qualify as this Rebecca Kinney.
