An American Family History

Rachael Lapointe Dwinnell Jones was born in the United States on March 15, 1819.

She married Isaac Davis Dwinnell in about 1839 when she was twenty years old. Their family and life together are described in detail in the section on the Isaac and Rachael Dwinnell family.

Rachael died in Kingston, Frontenac County, Ontario on March 19, 1874 (according to her granddaughter, Hester Johnson's notes) or March 22, 1873 (according to cemetery records). 

The cemetery records indicate that she died of lung disease. She is buried in Cataraqui Cemetery in Lot 216, Section E with Victoria and John Miller's children.

On August 10 1850, the Cataraqui Cemetery in Kingston, Ontario was founded to meet the needs of recent immigrants who were not members of churches. The cemetery was outside the city, non-denominational, and anyone could be buried there. It was designed as a serene garden.
