there is no documentation of who Rachel's parents were.

Please remove her as the child of Mary Frances Lewis and Robert Lewis. this discrepancy has been mention in the past, see comments below..

As there is no evidence that Robert and Mary were Rachel's parents, I have removed that connection.

please remove this Rachel (Lewis) Nicholson from the listed parents. there is no documentation that Robert and Frances had a daughter of this name or age. No mention of any Rachel in the family records. thank you

PS - Mary may be the name of their mother, but most likely not Howell (Mary Howell was Charles' wife and they did not have a daughter named Rachel).

I detached Lewis-683 as father, and "divorced" him from Howell-3384, but kept her attached as mother so that the siblings could stay connected through her.

Cheers, Liz

Hi! 1780 is pushing it even for Charles (and Mary would have been 82). I haven't found a Rachel in this family at all. I'll need to detach him from their profiles.
