There is no known record of the marriage of Adam Morrill to Rachel. However, there is the following advertisement in a local newspaper. "Whereas Rachael, my wife, behaves herself in a very unbecoming manner, by needlessly running me in debt, greatly to my damage; this is therefore to forbid all persons trusting or harbouring her on my account, as I will not pay any debt she may contract after the date hereof. Adam Morrill, Chester, March 28, 1792." [4]
