I do know that there were three brothers that came into Cocke/Sevier Counties after the Rev. War. John Henry served in the Rev. War and settled in the Cosby area of Cocke county. Another brother William,who also founght in the Rev. War settled in the Jones Cove area of Sevier County and married Elizabeth Jones. I am trying to connect Rachael to either of these brothers. I'm grasping at straws but trying to check out any possibility. Thanks for your input. Sue
