Rebecca Bonum was born before 1665 in Westmoreland County to Samuel Bonum and Margaret Philpott. Her father came to Virginia as a headriget for Anthony Harrison in 1653. Her mother was born on Kent Island, Maryland and came to the Northern Neck with her parents. Bonum Creek in Westmoreland is named for her father.

Rebecca married George Eskridge about 1679 and they had as many as eight children. George was a successful lawyer and received many land patents. They lived at Sandy Point in Westmoreland. George also served as a churchwarden for Yecomico Church, a Colonel in the militia and a a Burgess for several terms between 1705 and 1734.

Rebecca died about 1715. George remarried that year to Elizabeth Vaulx and had one daughter with her, Elizabeth Eskridge, born about 1716.

Paintings of George Eskridge and Rebecca Bonum hung at George Washington's Mt. Vernon home for many years. In 1913 the portraits were gifted to the Virginia Historical Society for preservation.
