She married John Putnam at Salem, Massachusetts on Sep 3,1652.

NOTE: Two distinct Pedigrees exist for a Rebecca Prince born in MA around this time with DoD in Nov. 1704 One is daughter of Patience Brewster and Thomas Pence. Other is daughter of James Prince James Prince (* I dont believe she was the Rebecca daughter of Gov Thomas Prence,...that Rebecca married Edmund Freeman and no other record of her having another marriage)

Possible siblings of that Rebecca are ID'd here: "In his History of Salem, p. 31, Sidney Perley wrote, "Robert Prince appears as a servant, with Bethiah and Lydia, probably his sisters, in a tavern of John Gedney in 1651. Rebecca Prince, perhaps another sister, married John Putnam and was called 'stepdaughter' by Mr. Gedney.""
