Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Rachel ASH 
    Born 5 Nov 1832  [1] 
    • Age 55y 10m 18d in death record calculates to a birth date of Nov 5 1831. But both she and brother John were 17 in the 1850 Census, and his birth date is shown on his headstone as Nov 5 1832. It would thus appear that they were twins and that Rachel's age was misstated in her death record by exactly one year.
