Research Notes

The presence of an Isaac James in the 1870 Census is interesting. Could this be the brother to Rachel? On Family Search the record for Isaac is posted to this Isaac James profile. He is listed as a child of Isaac James and Abigail Riggs. I have long thought that Rachel could be the child of Abigail Riggs and Isaac James It is recorded on many family-tree sites that they had a daughter named Rebecca. Could this Rebecca be Rachel?

New information about the marriage of Rachel James and Silas Boggs has come to light thanks to Nancy Gill This information is posted on the profiles of Silas Boggs and Rachel James. It shows the marriage bond was signed by Silas and by an Andrew Frame.
