bullet Notes:

Not to be confused with Rachel b. 20 Feb 1747 and christend 12 April 1749 at St Michael's Lutheran Church in Germantown, PA. and died bef 1757. Per Chris Bailey manuscript. The fact that her older sister first bore the name Rachel, has led to some confusion. The first Rachel died in early childhood and was mentioned in her grandfather, John Stull's will, probably shortly after the birth of Susannah, so when the next daughter came they chose to call her Rachel as a 'memorial name.'
She was buried beside her husband, Benjamin, in Cumberland, MD. Her marker states that she died April 3, 1832, aged 74 y - 7 m - 17 d, hence born August 17, 1757. Dates copied by J. L. Thistle.
