Hello Cliff,
I received a message from a gentleman on the Creed genforum who corrected my data and thought I'd better pass it on to see what other family members think:
******************************************
"Anna
You're confusing two Rachel/Rachael McDuffees, who were first cousins. Rachel was born in about 1808 and married Colby Creed; I suspect that she was the daughter of Robert McDuffie and Sallie Taylor, who were married in 1806 in Harrison Co KY and whose younger children, born from 1813 on, I have notes on. Rachael, born 25 Jan 1813 in Harrison Co KY, was the eldest child of Gabriel Columbus McDuffie and Priscilla Evans and married John W Ballard; she died before him in 1871 in Sacramento Co CA. The mother of Robert and Gabriel was Rachel Murlie, and they also had a sister named Rachel. Both Colby Creed (in Rush Co) and John W Ballard (in Shelby Co) appear in the 1850 census with their respective Rachel/Rachaels.
If you have information on the descendants of any of these, I'd be happy to exchange further information.
*******************************************
So that is his message, and there appears to be 2 Rachel McDuffees.I will have to go back and check my information, but in the meantime, will e-mail you with my address and more information.I'd be interested to hear what other McDuffee family members have to say about Rachel McDuffee (or her cousin?)
Hope this is of help,
Anna
