Biographical Description

Rebecca Bondfield was a signer of a nonimportation agreement in 1774 that later became known as the Edenton Tea Party Resolves. Some historians have identified Rebecca Bondfield as a possible wife of Charles Bondfield, a Edenton lawyer who was prominent in that area's early pro-independence movement. If Rebecca is indeed Charles Bondfield's wife, she died sometime before 1781 when Charles Bondfield wrote his will and listed is wife at the time as Penelope. Alternatively Rebecca could have been a daughter or sister of Charles Bondfield. No further records naming Rebecca have been located, which indicates she either died young with little personal property or later changed her name via marriage but no marriage certificate survives.
