I believe it is likely that Rachel died sometime between the birth of their daughter Rachel Calkins (1799) and the birth of his daughter Diadama (1819). I believe that the death information about Rachel on Findagrave is incorrect. This theory is supported by the fact that Abigail is listed in Aaron's will and there is no mention of Rachel. Further, Aaron treats his three eldest daughters differently from the other children in his will. I understand that this conflicts with the Calkins Family in America booklet, but I believe other documents are consistent with this theory.
