I too would be interested in to whom she was married. I have not been able to find any documentation on her. I have been told she was known as "Julia" rather than by her first name Rachel. I searched the 1870 Census for Rapides Parish, but she is not shown as the wife of any Gordon in the census. Perhaps if we knew the name of her husband, we could find something. If she was your grandmother, to whom was she married?
