Rachel Bethia Hosford was the dau. of Moses Hallock Hosford and Lovina Chamberlain and was born in 1830 in Goshen MA. I have no further info on except my great-great grandfather was Oliver Smith of Whately MA and had two children, Arthur Alvah and Frank. Arthur was born May of 1851 possibly in Northampton Ma.
I have no birth cert. on either Rachel or Arthur. No marriage on Rachel marrying Oliver.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Arthur Alvah Smith's death cert lists Rachel as his mother!
