Even though Rachel's headstone indicates that she was born "About 1848", census records indicate that she was born anywhere from 1850 and 1853. Rachel's parents, Allen and Cynthia (Thornsberry) Adams, were enumerated in the household of Cynthia's brother, James Thornsberry, in the 1850 Floyd County, KY, census but no children were listed for them at that time (August 10, 1850). Rachel's death certificate indicates that she was 76 years old when she died which means she would have been born in about 1852.
