Biography
Rachel was born about 1797. She passed away in 1866. She may have been named Regina Rachel at birth, since there is a 1797 birth recorded for a Regina to her parents, and this idea is often credited among genealogists, regardless. Regina was the daughter of Peter Eisenhauer and Anna Margaret Early, born 27 Aug 1797.[1] Rachel, per the 1850 census, was born around 1796 in Pennsylvania.[2] Going by the age on her tombstone though, Rachel would have been born 17 Jul 1795, about a month before her parents were married, so there is some room to doubt that Regina and Rachel were actually the same person.
J.W. Early and various Pennsylvania sources suggest that the Earlys and Eisenhauers moved to Iowa or Kansas sometime around or after 1805. The Eisenhauers actually went to Ohio, which, unlike Kansas and Iowa, was actually being settled by European-Americans around 1805.
