On most Family Trees of Rachel Edens and William Walker, a daughter, Rachel Walker, born in 1837 is listed (with husband, Carrol Hickson).
I have also seen data that lists a Rachel Melvina Walker as a daughter of this William Walker and Rachel Edens. She was born about 1824 in Tennessee and married William Brock in 1848 in Rhea County, TN.
I am beginning to believe that this Rachel Melvina is NOT the daughter of William and Rachel (Edens) Walker. In the 1850 census of Bledsoe County, Rachel and her husband, William Brock, are listed with two children and what appear to be two younger siblings of Rachel (Matilda and Charles Walker - ages 15 and 14). This would not be the Matilda that is the daughter of William and Rachel (Edens) Walker because THAT Matilda is listed in THEIR household in the 1850 census. Plus, I haven't seen a Charles Walker listed as one of their children in any Family Trees.
If my assumption is correct, then who are the parents of Rachel Melvina Walker? I would really appreciated any information or corrections.
