Biography

Rachel was born in 1765 to James Springer and Rachel Chapman. Her father fought in the Revolutionary War. She married at around age 20 to another war veteran and they raised their family in Maine.

Her youngest son, Almond, moved to Ohio and studied at Ohio University[1], becoming a physician. When she was 75, she and her husband moved to Ohio where she spent the rest of her life. The 1840 US Census shows Nathaniel and Rachel living with daughter Harriet and her husband Josiah Hook, who might have moved to Ohio with them. Daughter Nancy Going also settled in Ohio, but sons Nathaniel and Levi remained in Maine. Rachel passed away in 1844 at 78 years old.

In her will (photo on right), she left $100 to each of her children: Nancy Going, Harriet R Hook, heirs of dec'd Frances P Tilton, Nathaniel Burrell, Levi P Burrell, and Almond H Burrell.
