Rebecca is my great grandmother. She was born in 1865. She married Aryeh Leib Silverman, known in the U.S. as Lionel Silverman. The original family name was Kirpichnikov but it was changed when the family came to the U.S. I would like to know her father's name and other names if any and her date of birth.
She had five sons and a daughter. All came to the U.S. in the 1890s and settled in Chattanooga, TN.

Here lies

The woman RIVKAH daughter of Reb Eliezer

the wife of Aryeh Layb Zilberman,

may he rest in peace; she was born in the year 5605, she passed away

Monday, 5 Tamuz of the year 5677

May her soul be bound up in the bond of life.

==================================================
'Reb' is an honorific; it does not mean rabbi.

The name of a woman's husband does not usually appear on a tombstone; its inclusion here might indicate that he was an important member of the community. "Aryeh Layb" are the Hebrew and Yiddish words for lion, so having Lionel as his secular name makes perfect sense.

It is also not common to see a birth date. Here, the exact date is not given, but the year was 5605. This year ran from approximately September 13th, 1844 to October 1st, 1845.

The date of death, the 5th Tamuz of the year 5677, began at sunset on June 24th, 1917, and ended at sunset on the 25th.
