Rebecca Weaver and William Eccleston are the parents of the Isaac Eccleston who was a merchant in Antigua. He is not your ancestor. We have not found a baptism for your ancestor so we don't know who his parents are.

And for what it's worth, I've already said Rebecca Weaver's parents are not Richard and Susanna as their daughter, Rebecca b 1707, died aged 13 weeks.

I looked at the marriage record for Rebecca Weaver and William Eccleston in March 1741/2 and the first witness is Julian Weaver.

There's a Quaker birth record 6 Aug 1708 for Rebekah Weaver the dau of Daniel and Julian Weaver in Poulton, Lancs, so I would imagine these two records are for the same person and Julian is the mother in both cases.
