Also in 1839 she was listed as Rachel Patterson, plaintiff, in a court suit against the heirs of husband, John Powell, probably when she petitioned to sell his land to settle the estate.
Her gravestone only states she died in her 67th year. A family note
said "Uncle Nelson was 17 when his mother died," can only apply to
this lady, all other Nelsons in the family and area were much older
when their mothers died. By doing some arithmetic, her approximate
birth and death dates have been determined.Buried beside her are Rachel and J.N. Martin, her daughter and
son-in-law.

M i James POWELL was born in 1830. F ii Rachel POWELL was born on 2 Apr 1832. She died on 5 Jul 1909. M iii George POWELL.
