I think 1732 is a little early for Rochester? I don't think that part of New York state was settled until after the Revolution.

This is a different Rochester. This is Rochester in Ulster County, which is often called Raysester in the old records. There is still a town of Rochester in Ulster County.

PS - Rather than relying on a [probably unsourced] Ancestry family tree, most or all of her life events probably were documented in the Kingston church records. The records book is available for free online. See Space:Baptismal and Marriage Registers of the Old Dutch Church of Kingston, Ulster_County, New York for links to websites that have it.

Rachel's baptism took place on 21 Oct 1663 and her parents were listed as Harmen Hendricksen and Maddeleen Dircks. Aechjen Aariaens was witness. The record was kept at the Reformed Dutch Church of Kingston, (Wildwyck then), Province of New York. See Hoes page 3.
