On the 1950 US Census, the family appears together at the US Naval Proving Grounds, King George County, Virginia. Rachel appears under apparent nickname as Rae, with their infant daughter, Sherian Morse.

[It appears that the SSDI shows another Rachel Adkins with birthdate of 8 Jul 1927 as Rachel Adkins Morse Olson. However, marker clearly shows birth of Dec 8 1928, husband as Robert, that she is mother of Sherian, and records of Sherian's birth show connection to Donald Morse as first husband.]
