Hi Jennifer
This is the information that I have on Rachael.
In 1799 Samuel Eakin came from Juniata County, Pennsylvania, and located in what is
now Clinton Township, Venango County. Two years prior, in 1797, He emigrated from
Ireland to Juniata County. At the time of their arrival in Venango County his family
consisted of his wife, Mary (Riley) Eakin, and two children: Mary, who married Robert
Moore and William.
Subsequently there were born: James; Jane, who married James Scott; Samuel; Elizabeth;
Margaret, who married a Mr. Moore, and David.
Soon after Samuel's settlement, his brother William and Sister Margaret, the latter
the wife of a Mr. Curry, located in the
same region and developed farms. Samuel settled on one-hundred and fifty acres of land, and held various township offices. His wife died in 1821, and he survived her until September 1851, passing away at the age of eighty-four years. All of his sons and daughters became settlers of Venango County, and all of them are dead, the last one, Samuel, dying in November, 1888, at the age of eighty-two.
The other members of the family also lived beyond middle age. The old homestead, after
the death of Samuel, Sr., became the property of his Youngest son, David, who died
October 11, 1851, aged forty-one years. David was married to Rebecca Stalker, Daughter of Thomas Stalker, and the father of nine children: Rachael, who married S. D. Porter; Samuel; Thomas, deceased; Thomas J.; Mary Jane, who married S. M. Witherup;
Elizabeth, married to John Fabian; Sarah Ann, wife of John Meyers, and David V. Eakin.
The father dying, Mrs. Eakin was married to David Phips, of Clinton township, by whom
she had one daughter, Henrietta, who married a Mr. Thero, of Colorado. Mrs. Phipps
died in February, 1878.
