| The Rebecca
Boyce Chapter of the Daughters of the American
Revolution was organized on January 31, 1948. It was
organized by Mrs. John Sidney Farrar with the help of
her daughter, Mrs. Sidna Farrar Wellborn, who was a
member of the Jane Douglas Chapter of Dallas.
The chapter was named for
Mrs. Farrar's grandmother, Rebecca Horton Boyce,
1799-1891, whose family settled east of Waxahachie in
1872. The town of Boyce also received its name from this
family. Rebecca Boyce is buried in the Waxahachie City
Cemetery.
