Notes |
The boundary line between DE and MD -- particularly the line between present day Sussex County, Delaware and Dorchester County, Maryland -- was long disputed. Maryland claimed much of what is now present day Sussex County, DE until the 1760's and completion of the Mason-Dixon Survey. For this reason, it is not clear whether RACHEL was born in Sussex County, DE or in Dorchester, MD.
Was Rachel the "Rachel' listed in Nicholite records (Caroline, Dorchester and Kent County, DE): Solomon Wilson Sr. and Rachel Safford of Caroline 11-13-1788.
