About Rachel
A derivative congregation-register chronology records Rachel born 8 November 1738 to Robert Glasgow and Rachel Wilson. The 1817 equity pleading says her mother died in 1742 leaving only James and Ann, strongly suggesting this younger Rachel died before 1742 unless the pleading omitted her for another legal reason.
