I am researching Rachel (Van Tassel) Caton. She was born 1792 in New
York. I believe her husband was Benjamin Caton but I know nothing of
him. In 1830, Rachel was living in Salina, Onondaga county, New York
and since she was head of household, I am assuming her husband has
died. At that time, she has a boy and a girl both between the ages of
10 - 15 living with her. I do know Rachel has a daughter Penelope who
later marries Niles H. Bishop. I have not been able to find Rachel on
another census but she may have remarried or could have died. I would
appreciate any information.
