In the 1855 census for Durham, Greene County, New York, Rachel is listed as living in her brother James' household.

In the 1860 census for Durham, Greene County, New York, Rachel is listed as living with her brother James, in the John & Mary Casper household.

Rachel Snyder was notated in the History of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Cornwallville, 100th Anniversary (1821-1921), whereby, "At a special church meeting on Feb. 11, 1888, the trustees were authorized to buy the house and lot of the estate of Miss Rachel Snyder, and adjoining the church to the West. This was done for the consideration of $300, and the property was known as the church parsonage and owned by the church until 1904, when it was sold to Charles Reynolds."

Since Rachel was the eldest and longest living of the Snyder female children and there is no record of her as being married, the land and home that her estate sold to the church, could very well have been the original Greene County homestead of her parents, Abraham and Jemima Snyder.
