  • Notes 
    • Mary Helen Haines notes:

      Could the mother of these children be named Rachel and Jennet is a second wife?

      Following the naming patterns, a son would name his 2nd daughter after his mother, and a daughter would name her first daugther after her mother.

      So:
      John's 2nd daughter is named Rachel
      Rachel's 1st daughter is named Rachel
      Joseph only has one daughter that was alive at his death and she is named Rachel
      Robert's 2nd daughter is named Martha, so he does not fit
      Rebecca's 1st daughter is named Mary, and second daughter is named Rachel

      It is very odd that none of the children name any of their daughters Jennet, or Janet, or any variation
