Event Notes
Note (1) Age 55y 10m 18d in death record calculates to a birth date of Nov 5 1831. 
But both she and brother John were 17 in the 1850 Census, and his birth date is
shown on his headstone as Nov 5 1832.  It would thus appear that they were twins
and that Rachel's age was misstated in her death record by exactly one year.
