Biography

Rachel was born about 1776.

Rachel's genealogy can be found in the book, "John Allen and Phoebe Deuel of Cambridge and Peru, New York.^[1]

It is also worth mentioning that Rachel's War of 1812 pension application mentions a family Bible which her son was using as proof of Rachel's marriage date in 1871. This would place the Bible in Chautauqua County and also would help explain why Charles North in his book, "John Allen and Phoebe Deuel of Cambridge and Moscow, New York" had such detailed information on this family. It appears the author may have received the information on Hiram's family from a family member who was in possession of the family Bible.
