1900 census shows 12 children born to Rachel, 3 living as of 1900. The "3 living" is not understood -- I can account for 4 living daughters and one living son as of the 1900 census. Moreover, their marriage lasted only 16 years until Thomas died, making 12 children a stretch. Apparently the 1900 census figures were given by her second husband, John Gadd, applicable to his marriage, rather than for Rachel. DLB 2011.
