• Census: 1860, Warren County, Tennessee
• Census: 05 Aug 1870, Warren County, Tennessee

Notes:

1860 Census indicates Rachel is living in Warren County, Tennessee with her son Wm M (William Mortimer) who is 19. Her other children have moved out of the house and she lost her husband Patrick just a couple years before the Census was taken.

1870 Census indicates Rachel is 70 years old, living in Warren County, Tennessee with her granddaughter, Parilee Smith, daughter of Obediah Smith and Harriet Hennessee. It also indicates Rachel was born in Tennessee although all other records show she was born in North Carolina and she could not write.

Although Obediah has been listed on many published family trees, including this one, I believe Harriet's husband Obediah Smith could have been mistaken as a son.
