I'm looking for information on my 5th great-grandmother, Rebecca McKeown.

She was born in County Antrim in 1787; I don't know what parish she was from.

I do know, somehow, that Samuel McKeown & Arthur McKeown are her relatives - and Arthur might be her father.

Rebecca married Joseph Sloss at an unknown date, and they had a son, Robert, born in 1815.

Robert was christened on 2 January 1816 in Magherafelt.

Rebecca died, circa 1848, in County Derry.

Her husband, Joseph Sloss, died on 24 November 1865 in Artrea, County Derry.

 

Who are Rebecca's parents?
And if Arthur McKeown isn't her father, then who are her true parents?
