Rachel lived with her second husband in Greenwich (later East Greenwich), RI following their marriage. She was living in 1731 as the executrix of her husband's will, and thought to have lived a few years thereafter.

Child with second husband, surname DOLOVER:
Abigail, b. c. 1704, d. c. 1730, had a child with _______ KING (the child was William King b. c. 1722). It appears they were not married, because in her 1724 marriage record she was named Abigail Dolover. She m. E. Greenwich 29 Oct 1724 Nathaniel NILES, b. c. 1702, d. 1785, the son of Nathaniel Niles and Jane Littlefield. The 1729 will of Abigail's father leaves a legacy "after both our deaths to grandson William King, son of daughter Abigail, wife of Nathaniel Niles." This strongly suggests that Rachel is the mother of Abigail. Following Abigail's death, her husband m. 1731 Ruth Sweet.
