I am a direct descendant of Mary Harper BURKS who married Peter ALBAUGH. They migrated from Mercer County, KY to Sullivan County, Indiana and then on to Putnam County, Indiana. My Mary was born 1 November 1800. Her parents were Edmund BURKS and Elizabeth "Betsy" EVERLY / EBERLY. They had a son named James BURKS who was born about 1818. Instead of trying to "sort" all the BURKS, I'll just paste in an outline of this family.....some of the others had "James" but I don't have a Rebecca. That's because I don't have all the different lines completed yet.....bad about "entering" info into my tree! Let me know if you think this is the same family. Another researcher, Denell BURKS, also has an Allen BURKS in Putnam so maybe she would know of a Rebecca.
