Notes:
Rachel's mother died from complications of her childbirth.  It looks as though her father felt he couldn't care for a new infant and she was adopted by James & Mary (Goff) Fisher, a prominent attorney in the county.  It's not known whether she was actually adopted or whether they just raised her.
