AWARDS
Rachel Carlisle, also spelled Carlile, was born in 1705 to John Carlile and Hannah Moore. She married Richard Walker and was the mother of Rachel Walker, who became Paul Revere’s second wife in 1773. A published Revere genealogy gives her death as May 18, 1782, but acknowledges that Richard’s ancestry could not be established among several Boston namesakes. Her own household activities remain undocumented; her daughter’s wartime actions should not be attributed to her.
