Rachel White Eyes

In the early 1770s, Lenape attacked the Philip Doddridge family farm, along the shores of Chartier's Creek killing some members of the nine-person extended family and capturing others. The Lenape took away three girls, a son, and the grandmother. The five-year-old girl Rachel Doddridge was known to have been adopted into the tribe.

After becoming a chief, White Eyes married Rachel Doddridge (d. 1788), a young English colonist who had been taken captive as a 5-year-old child during a Lenape raid and adopted into the Lenape people, becoming fully assimilated. They had at least one son, named George Morgan White Eyes.[2]

Rachel had been living with her father Philip Doddridge and family at a farm on the shores of Chartier's Creek near Statler's Fort (Washington County, Pennsylvania). Her cousin Philip Doddridge reported seeing her later as an adult at a trading post. Thoroughly assimilated by then, she was not interested in a reunion with her British relatives.[3]
