Rachel was mentioned in her father's 1785 will and named executrix.[1]
Research note
Rachel is mentioned twice in her father's will; once her name is spelled "Rachel" and the other time "Rachael." There is no other record of her. Her birth date is unknown, but she was presumably an adult in 1785 when her father named her his executrix.
