Files found online suggest that her parents were Uriah and Elizabeth (Ingraham) Ward, and that her birth was in 1738. Going by the age given on the stone, Rachel would have been born closer to 1747. Contributor Daystcat sends word that Rachel's parents were Moses and Eunice (Wood) Ward (the latter commonly written as Rood rather than Wood).
