Hi Doris, Forgive me for jumping in here but I grew up in Fall River,MA not far from Rehoboth and still have an aunt who lives there. It is a small, rural area next to and quite entangled genealogically with Swansea,MA. The online access I am sure is very limited and the best response would probably be by snail mail. A large number of Fall River families have roots in Rehoboth so contacting the Fall River Historical Society could prove fruitful. I have a couple of books from the area so you could e-mail me with your specific line and I could try to help.
