| Rachel (Miller) Grant is an ancestor of a US President/Vice President Join: US Presidents Project Discuss: Presidents |
Rachel was Noah Grant's third wife and he was her second husband, the first being a Mr. Kelly. She was the daughter of Colonel Miller of Jamestown, Virginia [1] Not the daughter of Robert Miller from Pennsylvania.
An article in the The American Genealogist, New Haven, Connecticut: D. L. Jacobus in 1975 disputes some of this information for the following reasons, 1) The president referred to her as Miss Kelley, and a search for land or probate records for Rachel Miller or Rachel Kelley found nothing that would indicate a previous husband.[2]
Her headstone indicates a birth of Jun 1746, and while many believe this makes her too old to be the mother of the children shown, it is on her headstone[3] To make her more the right age, the assumption is that the digits are reversed and should be 1764, which would make her 40 when her last child is born.[4]
A search of DAR and SAR databases and records indicate no birth record for Rachel[5][6]
