The War of 1812 was a conflict between the United States and Great Britain, lasting from 1812 to 1815.

The war ended with the Treaty of Ghent, restoring pre-war boundaries but resolving few of the initial disputes.Rachel is buried at: Redlon Family Burial Ground Hollis Center York County Maine, USA
