Donna, this is where the confusion comes in. Rebecca Savell did not marry Elijah Dansby AND Jonas Emmons. The Rebecca Savell, dau. of John and Hannah Savell, married Jonas Emmons in 1819, was still married to him on the 1850 census. In the 1860 census of Winn parish La., Rebecca is HOH, and Jonas is listed in the mortality schedule as having died that year.
It is possible that Moses and Hannah had a daughter named Rebecca Savell and that she married the Dansby. This Rebecca is listed in Hannah's (wife of John), probate records as marrying Jonas Emmons. Their marriage record also backs this up.
