A book has been circulated which stated that William Bays, brother of Peter III, married Rachel broadwater.So far as I know, this is the only basis of that claim.
Others, and I am included, believe this William Bays married Rachel Barker, younger sister of Susannah, who married William's older brother, Peter III, both being the daughters of John Barker and Mary Snead Barker, but our evidence is mostly "circumstantial".
What hard evidence do you have that William Bays married Rachel Barker? Both the Bays descendants and the Barker descendants would like to know.
