RACHEL BRADY (WILLITS) WILLITS
Rachel is listed as the daughter of Isaac and Elizabeth (Wilson) Willits. She was born on Jan 9, 1777. There is some confusion on her name. Some records list her name as Rachel Brady leading one to believe that perhaps she may have been married prior to her marriage to her cousin Isaac Willits and that she was the widow of Brady? I found no record of a prior marriage & since she married Isaac at such a young age plus they then named their 1st born son Brady, I believe Brady was her middle name which possibly came from grandparents?

SIBLINGS
Rachel's siblings included:
Thomas b. 1762 – d. 1830;

MARRIAGE
Rachel married Isaac Willits, son of Isaiah & Susannah (Boone) Willits, according to West Grove Monthly Meeting records. The exact marriage date is not given because of the cousin relationship they were not allowed a Quaker marriage.

Several of the family members of Isaac and Rachel Brady (Willits) Willits may have been Quakers associated with the West Grove Quakers - White Water Meeting House.
