Rachel was the daughter of Henry and Rachel Povall Clay. She married Barclay Martin 2/21/1780 in Charlotte Co., Va. She was a heroine in the Revolutionary War when she and her sister-in-law dressed in their husbands' clothes in order to warn the Rev. troops of a British Dispatch Unit nearby. She and Barclay had no known children. She died after 1840 census where she is found in Bedford Co., TN. I am using 1845 until I find out the exact date.
