Rebecca Hart Dana Atwater (1819-1909) was born in Pomfret, Windsor County, VT, the daughter of David Dana (1781-1839) and his second wife Rebecca Hart Chase (1791-1875). Rebecca's father was the brother of Sophia Hazen's grandfather Israel P. Dana. In 1838 Rebecca was listed as a member of the sophomore class at the Seminary for Female Teachers in Ipswich, MA. She appears to have withdrawn from the school, possibly due to the death of her father, which occurred on March 12, 1839, at Pomfret. Around 1841 Rebecca traveled to Ohio and began teaching at Hudson Academy. In 1843 she entered the senior class at Mt. Holyoke and graduated in 1844. On August 9, 1844, she returned to OH and married Rev. Edward E. Atwater (1816-1887) at Ravenna, where he had been ordained pastor of the First Congregational Church in 1841. In 1850 they traveled in Europe and Palestine and then settled in Salmon Falls, NH. They moved to New Haven, CT, in the 1850's when Edward became pastor of the Davenport Congregational Church. They are buried in Grove Street Cemetery in New Haven.
