Rachel CROSHAW b. York Co., VA m. John WALKER
When researching Rachel Croshaw who married Colonel John Walker on September 24, 1697 in Virginiathis is the question of her mother. They were aprents of Captain Thomas Walker b. 1670 in Rye Field (Locust Grove) King and Queen County, VA.He married Susannah Peachey b. 1688.
Of their 5 children was Colonel Thomas Walker d. 1739 who was married to Susanna Peachey daughter of Wm Peachey and Phoebe Slaughter.
Of Colonel Walker's family was Dr. Thomas Walker M.D.
of Castle Hill fame in Albemarle Co.,and Cumberland Gap
where my direct line descends.
How to my Croshaw questions:
I was aklways led to believe by my family that her mother was Rachel Finch or "widow Finch".HoweverMajor Joseph Croshaw b. 1610 Brurton Parish, York, Virginia and son of
Esquire Captain Raleigh Croshaw b. 1570 in Lancashire Englandseems to have 7 wives.
Different sources claim Rachel to be the daughterof at least three of the wives...along with son Benjamin, son Joseph and daughter Unity.
Who was truly Rachel's mother? Elizabeth Yeardsley?
or wife 5- Ann Hodges; wife 6- Sarah Finch who I have been led to believe was her mother?
Other wives who apparently are not credited with any children by Croshaw are wives #2 Marfy Bromfield; wife #3
Margaret Tucker;wife # 4 Ursula Daniels and wife #7 Elizabeth Finch.
Does abyone know the connection between Sarah and
Elzabeth Finch.Were they sisters..or both married to men named Finch?
