Rebecca Young (1739-1819)
Bushrod Washington may have rented a room from Young while studying under James Wilson in 1782.
Rebecca Flower was born in Philadelphia on 17 November 1739. In 1762 she married William Young (1737-1778). A friend of Dr. Benjamin Rush (who trained one of her sons) and a sister of the commissary general of military stores, Flower was an ardent patriot. Following her brother's death in 1781, the widow Young supported herself by making flags for the Continental Army. She died in Baltimore on 6 February 1819.
