In the 1910 Campbell County census, she was listed as being 7 years old, so that would make the birth year around 1903. Rachel would have been the daughter of John Jordan and Mary Bell Gibson. Mary married James Jordan (John's) brother after John passed away. I found these dates for a Rachel Green on the SSDI: 1-3-1903 to 2-2-1988; last resident: Newcomb, TN. I'm not sure if this is the Rachel I'm looking for. Does this help any? Thank you for your time, Nancy Adkins Carroll

My husband's dad worked in the mines in WVA back in the day. My grandmother's 2nd husband, Jesse Stephens, was killed in a mine accident in Glen Mary, TN, which came from an oral history but have been unable to verify. My prayers are with them and the families, it does indeed look grim. Sandra
