Anne,
A distant cousin of mine Frank E. Wise (deceased) has written a book "A History of William Cuthbertson and Benjamin Wise and Adjoining Families".In the book there is a reference to Rachel (born 1755) who was married to William Cuthbertson, however, the book has his DOB as 3/17/1740. Per the book they stayed in Pennsylvania and stayed some time there where their 2nd. child, Sarah Martha was born.Then they were moved by Rachel's uncle Nathaniel Monteith to Rachel's mother's home in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (there is no reference to Rachel's mother or father's name).They stayed some time with her mother then moved to the Eastern part of the county, probably Union Co. NC.The following Monteiths are buried at Hopewell Church Cemetery (Hopewell Church is located in the Northwestern part of the county near River Bend:
Alexander Monteith - died 11/15/1775
Jane Monteith - died 02/27/1812
William Monteith - died 08/08/1824
Hannah Monteith - died 11/22/1844
Franklin Lee Monteith - died 02/21/1855
Violet Monteith - died 10/17/1855
I am orginally from Burke Co, NC where Rachel and William are buried and have been to the Cuthbertson cemetary.
Hopefully, by obtaining some more Monteith names and the place of their burial can help your search for Rachel's parents names.
