1780, Oct. 22. - Rachel, Daug'r. of Matthias Redlon J'r. & Elizabeth his wife.
↑ Matthias had a second daughter named Rachel, born in 1801, claimed by G. T. Ridlon's Source:History of the ancient Ryedales, and their descendants in Normandy, Great Britain, Ireland, and America, from 860 to 1884 : comprising the genealogy and biography to be an identical twin to Lydia, and hard to tell apart. This little story leads credence to the idea that the two Rachels could not be one person, made into two by a mixup of dates, since a person born 20 years earlier would not be mistaken for Lydia. However, Mr. Ridlon does not list this older Rachel at all. If we are to believe the baptismal record, which seems pretty clear, this older Rachel must have died bef. 1801 to make way for the younger Rachel. Given that the name Rachel wasn't reused until 1801, specifically not given to the daughter that was named Sally in 1798, perhaps this older Rachel lived at least until 1798?
