Rachel Eyler Sharretts

Rachel Sharretts (born c. 1824) was recorded in the 1860 census as a 38-year-old Pennsylvania-born resident of Cumberland Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania. Her entry appears on line 61 in dwelling 476, family 532. She appeared in the same household as Jesse Sharretts and several younger Sharretts residents. Derivative genealogical notes identify her as Rachel Eyler, wife of Jesse Sharretts, and point to a possible 1870 Cumberland Township census connection. That identification remains possible rather than confirmed.
