Notes
a. Note:   The 1870 and 1880 US Census show Sarah "Martin" is listed as living with Benjamin and Rachel and is listed as "widowed" and Mother-In-Law.
 All of Rachel's children have "K" as a middle initial. Back then this was usually the first initial of their "mother's" maiden name. In their daughter Susan's obituary, she is listed as mother Rachel (Keller) Strouse. The children's "death certificates" all state different names : Keller and Martin. Keller would prove why the children all have "K" as a middle initial.
 The only thing I can think of is Rachel's mother could have got remarried and hence the name Martin for her in those census or Martin was her mother's "maiden" name.
