    Notes 
    • Waiting for DNA results to prove her ancestry. The information below has been proved.

      As with Hezekiah N. (Low Hawk) Whitt, her supposed older brother, Rachel's mother most likely is not Standing Deer Bailey given her date of birth.

      Rachel Skaggs is thought to be Shawnee/Cherokee Indian, daughter of Chief Cornstalk, born 1709 Western PA, died 10 Oct 1777 in Point Plesant, VA. Now WV.

      She was given her white name in honor of William Skaggs who led an expedition that Hezekiah and Richard Whitt were part of.

    Notes 
    • If her date of birth is correct, Standing Deer cannot be the mother of Hezekiah N. (Low Hawk) Whitt and Rachel Skaggs. Thomas Bailey Christian considered them as brother and sister, and referred to them as such.

      DNA indicates Thomas Bailey Christian was NOT their son. See his page for more information.
