Person talk:Rachel Hendricks (8)


Parentage [3 May 2019]

What is the evidence for Benjamin Hendricks and Rachel Graves as parents for Rachel Hendricks. She is not listed among their children on the Graves Family Assoication genealogy for descendants of Captain Thomas Graves. Also, the dates don't fit. Aaron Burleson and Rachel Hendricks married in 1749 and their first child was born that year. Here is entry for Rachel Graves on Graves Family Association: Rachel Graves (211) was born 30 Dec. 1734 in Hanover Co., VA[4], and died 27 Dec. 1800[5] in Chesterfield Co., SC. She married Benjamin Hendrick (or Hendricks), son of William Hendrick, on 16 Oct. (or Dec.) 1750, probably in Hanover Co., VA. He was born 3 (or 30) June 1730 in Hanover Co., VA, and died in March 1818 at age 88 in Chesterfield Co., SC. He married second Mrs. Sarah Smith, previously wife of Robert Smith, in 1816 (notice in Georgetown Gazette, Georgetown, SC, in 1816). According to deed records, Benjamin and Rachel were of Hanover Co., Va., before buying land in Granville Co., N.C. They next moved to Mecklenburg Co., VA, with Rachel's brother Elijah Graves and their mother Mary Williams Graves. Benjamin and Rachel went to Anson Co., N.C./Chesterfield Co., S.C. before 1800. They are shown on the tax roll for Anson Co., N.C., in 1790. The Bible does not list all the children of Benjamin and Rachel, since it belonged to one of their children or grandchildren. It only lists Mary and David. (R 90, R 92, R 93) Children - Hendrick +338. John Williams Hendrick, b.c. 1751-55, m(1) , m(2) Ann (Baker?), d. June 1821.
