Research of Kevin Everingham of MI, 2015;
1845 Hand Written log (page 94)...This was the hand written records from the clergy to the county clerks. "July 3rd, Wm. Powell of Cumberland County & Rachel Ann Everingham of Salem, ...next page 95,... Dec 15, 1846.. John Davis of Gloucester Co, & Hannah Everingham of Salem. I believe there is a chance that Rachael and Hannah were sisters OR an even stronger chance that this was a later marriage of Rachael's mother.
