Sept. 18, 1775, the date of his will, and Nov. 25, 1779 when the inventory of his estate was taken. Rachel is not mentioned in her husband's will and obviously died before her husband.

By 1906 no gravestones for Rachel or husband Amos were known to exist, but are assumed to have been interred at Coventry's Nathan Hale cemetery.
