♥ ~ My Great-Great Grandmother ~ ♥
Rachel was the eldest of nine children. She married William A. Jackson in 1855 and the couple had eleven children: Margaret Ellen, William J., James W., Mary Elizabeth (my great grandmother), Anna Salone, George Washington, Fannie, Edward Thaddeus, Bessie Victoria, and two others who died as infants.
Note: Memorial stone incorrectly lists Rachel's year of birth as 1832. Early census records list her age as a year younger than her husband - age 14 in 1850, age 23 in 1860, and age 34 in 1870. By 1880 she had 11 children and 2 had died as infants. Between the 1870 and 1880 census she aged 15 years and became a year older than her husband! - age 49. The 1900 census lists her birth date as May 1832. Assuming that the month listed is correct, and the earlier consistent ages indicate a birth year of 1836, I listed her birth date as May 1836.
