'Rachel Hood b. about 1743, d. ---; m. Frederick W. Shaffer.'
The author seems to have forgotten that he places the marriage of her parents in about 1744 (after the adult baptism of an Elizabeth Harrison in 1744). There is no suggestion that Rachel's mother was anyone other than Elizabeth Harrison, or that she was born before her parents married.
'FREDERICK SHAFFER b. ---, probably in Pennsylvania, d. --- in Mecklenburg County, N. C.; m. about 1763, RACHEL HOOD, daughter of Tunis Hood, Sr. and Elizabeth Harrison. She was undoubtedly t[h]e oldest daughter, and very likely their oldest child.'
