Racheal is the fifth child born to Samuel W. and Malinda Cowles. She is listed as Rebecca with the family in the 1860 Federal Census for Township 4 North Range 5 West. The family is listed as Saml W Carols age 44, Mail Contractor, Mary age 37, Sarah age 15, Rebecca age 8 and John 4/12.

She is not listed with her parents in the 1870 Census; the only child listed is John, age 10.

The obituary of S. W. Cowles in the Edwardsville Intelligencer on September 18, 1889 states in part: "He has been a resident of this township for fifty seven years. In his early days he drove the stage and carried the mail long before a railroad was built. The result of his last marriage was six children, all of whom preceeded him to the grave."

There is no death date given in the Watt Cemetery records for Racheal. A small foot stone with R.M.C. marks her grave site.
