    [The baptismS1 as an adult implies Rachel was born by 1700. This source lists children born 1679, 1682, 1683, 1687, 1691, 1692, 1694, 1696, 1698, 1700, 1704. So likely Rachel was born before 1690. Scituate VRs have a death record for Mercy, w. of Samuel, in Dec 1687. So there is ambiguity as to which wife, Mercy or Lydia, would be Rachel's mother, because she could fit between 1683-1687 or between 1687-1691.]
