Her FindAGrave entry is https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/28860305/rachel-whitfield


William Whitfield Sr was born 20 May 1715 in Virginia or North Carolina.[1]

In early life William lived along the Chowan River in North Carolina and was a brick mason. For a time he was burdened with his father’s debts, which slowed, but could not prevent, his financial advancement.[1]

He was first married 6 November 1741 to Rachel Bryan at Snowfield Plantation, Bertie County, North Carolina, home of Rachel's father, Needham Bryan.[1][2] They had the following known children[1]:

William Whitfield, born 1743
Elizabeth Whitfield, born 1745
Sarah Whitfield, born 1747
Bryan Whitfield, born 1754
Charity Whitfield, born 1756
Needham Whitfield, born 1758
Rachel Whitfield, born 1760
Mary Whitfield, born 1763
Lewis Whitfield, born 1765
Shortly after their marriage at Snowfield Plantation, William and Rachel traveled south in search of a new home. They moved to that portion of Johnston County later to become Dobbs and still later Lenoir County. Here they settled at Rich Lands, more recently called Rocky Ford. There they built the Rockford house where their first son, William, was born 1 June 1743. After two years at Rockford, William took his family to White Hall, now called Seven Springs, on the south bank of the Neuse River in Wayne County. Here they lived until 1776 when they moved three miles farther to Pleasant Plains.

Rachel died about 1780. Following the death of Rachel, he married Frauzan Unknown.[1][2] Her given name is spelled various ways. In William's Last Will, it's shown as Fruzen and Frusan.
