Rachel Baker , the oldest daughter of Moses Baker, was born 25 Sep 1813 according to her brother John Baker's journal. She married Joseph D. Clements amid a storm of controversy. Clements, who land records indicate arrived married with a family of 7 on 25 Dec 1829, left a wife and family in Indiana without a divorce. Along with other citizens of Gonzales, Rachel's father was furious and threatened to kill Clements. The alcalde at Gonzales would not marry the couple so they eloped to San Antonio and were married by the priest there. The Clements had five children, Laura Jane (who married Napoleon Conn), Alexander, Isaac B., Augustus, and Joseph before Joseph D. Clements died in March of 1844. Clements will was hotly contested in Gonzales District Court Final Case #468. After Clement's death, Rachel married Rolla M. Davis on 27 Apr 1846. They had one son, Joel Hamilton Davis, and it is speculated that she either died at childbirth, or shortly thereafter since a probate action filed on 27 Jan 1847 showed her as deceased.
