    • Various trees and hints on Ancestry.ca have Rachael married to Samuel Downing and having many children. I have not found any documentation to prove this marriage, however, there is a marriage record for Rachael and Abraham Smith. There are numerous records indicating a Samuel and Rachel Downing who had children but nothing to prove she was Rachael Nicholas. More research is required on this family.
