Biography

Rachel Van Noy was born in 1741[1] as the daughter of John Francis Vannoy and Susannah Baker Anderson.[2]

Rachel and John Darnell married in 1773.[2]

In 1787 she was seen living in Gordons District, Wilkes County, North Carolina.[3]

On the NC state census, 1784-1787 (predates U.S. federal census records), Rachel was seen as head of household, white female living with a white male "under 21or above 60". On the same census page, Isaac Darnel (sp) and Daniel Vannoys (sp) are seen living in the same district. Many families associated to the Darnells through marriage are also named in this record (i.e. Shepard, Hall, Owen, Owens, Baker, Judd, Farmer, Adams, Curry, other Darnells and other Vannoys).[4][5]

Rachel passed away about 1783 (?).[6] (see previous paragraph indicating that she was still living in Capt. Gordon's District in NC at some point between 1784-1787)

Research Notes

Death Date:

Are you aware that the bio shows DOB of abt. 1783 but the data field shows 1836. Are there sources for these 2 very different dates? Possibly one or both should be better clarified. Maybe the data field could be changed to after 1783? (Since I have no idea where the date 1836 came from, I did not feel that I should edit. Leaving that up to the managers.
