Rebekah Dulaney Peterkin (a/k/a Rebecca Dulany Peterkin) (September 24, 1847 – July 26, 1891) is an American philanthropist who founded the first circle of the International Order of the King's Daughters and Sons in Virginia, and then the Sheltering Arms Hospital in Richmond. ==Early and family life== Born in Berryville, Virginia as youngest child of Rev. Joshua Peterkin of Baltimore, Maryland (1814-1892) and his wife Elizabeth Howard Hanson (1820-1910), Rebekah Peterkin had a brother, future West Virginia bishop George W. Peterkin and a sister, Mary Beall Peterkin (1842-1857).〔Thomas Condit Miller, Hu Maxwell, West Virginia and Its People, Volume 3 (Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1913), p 771, available at https://books.google.com/books?id=Fnk_AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA771&lpg=PA771&dq=rebekah+dulaney+peterkin&source=bl&ots=W2S_c9ygDx&sig=PBPxKfRTWmShqP_PYM-0lP-xlek&hl=en&sa=X&ei=wL0NVYPsFs38gwT6oYKYBA&ved=0CEQQ6AEwCDgK#v=onepage&q=rebekah%20dulaney%20peterkin&f=false〕 During the American Civil War, she assisted her mother and Capt. Sally Tompkins in Richmond hospitals.〔Minor T. Weisiger, Donald R. Traser, E. Randolph Trice and Margaret T. Peters, ''Not Hearers Only" (Richmond, 1986), pp. 34-35〕 After the war, and the evacuation fire which destroyed much of Richmond and the livelihoods of many Richmonders, she grew keenly aware of the problems of members of her father's parish, St. James Church, many of whom could not afford medical or hospital care.〔http://www.lva.virginia.gov/public/vawomen/2015/honoree.htm?bio=Peterkin〕
