Her and her brother, Eli McClish (link), were raised by their grandparents (John Adamson West and Azulah Wilson) following the parent's early death. Rachel and Eli are enumerated in 1860 (Middleport, Iroquois, IL) with "Araba West" (Azulha Wilson), their grandmother; John West died in 1856.
Rachel's Indiana death certificate gives burial in "Goodland, Ind". There are two cemeteries in Goodland, and given that 4 members of her family are known to be in "Goodland Cemetery", it would seem logical that she too is as well. Awaiting additional information to confirm this.
