| Notes |
- Excerpts from "A Charleston Album" by Margaret H Harrison:
"William Alston's daughter Rebecca Brewton was outstanding for her keen intelligence. In those days she was called "strong minded," which was enough to condemn a woman to spinsterhood. In many ways she resembled her grandmother Rebecca Motte, with whom she had spent much time and who always remained her ideal. "Brewton", whom she was called, did not marry until she as almost thirty but she made an excellent choice. One of the most brilliant young men in the South, Robert Hayne.
Excerpts from Items of Family History by Margaretta Love Stiles:
"The second wife was Rebecca Brewton Alston, daughter of Col. William Alston, and granddaugher of Mrs. Rebecca Mott, whose store is so well told by Bancroft in "Revolutionary Heroines".
