Rachel Brackett-Sanders maiden name and origin is not known. The earliest definite record of her is that of the baptism of her son Richard Brackett by her first husband Peter Brackett on 16d 9m 1610 at Saint Gregory's Church, Sudbury, Suffolkshire, England. She had three other children with Peter: Peter Jr. (no baptismal record), Rachel (baptized 1614), and Jonathan (baptized 1616). The inventory of her husband Peter Brackett's estate was taken 25d 8m 1616 in All Saints Par, Subury, Suffolkshire, England. Sometime between then and before 1619 she married second to Martin Sanders and they had seven children baptised in All Saints Parish from 1619-1632. Their last child, son Daniel Sanders was buried there 1d 8m 1634 and soon after Martin and Rachel Sanders emigrated to Braintree, Norfolk County, Massachusetts where both of them died. Through both her Brackett and Sanders descendants, Rachel can be considered a "Grandmother" of Braintree as by 1800 a large portion of Braintree citizens were descended from her.

Rachel
Rachel emigrated in 1635.(266) (30) Rachel came with her second husband Martin Sanders 5 children and 4 servants aboard the ship Planter which left London in mid-April 1635 and arrived in Massachusetts Bay. She Slave or indentured servant owner When Peter Brackett's wife married second Martin Saunders, they emigrated with four servants in 1635 in Massachusetts.(30) According to the Winthrop Society's ships home page, Rachel came with her second husband Martin Saunders. There are four "servant" listed. I think three is more likely. Martin Saunder (age 4) seems an unlikely servant. Especially since the same sources also list a Martin Saunder age 4 as a child of Martin and Rachel. The other servants were Richard Smith (age 14), Richard Ridley (age 16) and Mary Fuller (age 17). I assume that these servants were indentured probably though their 21st year.
She married to Peter Brackett about 1609. I simply assumed they were married one year before the birth of Richard, the only child for whom I have a birth/baptism date. Children were: Captain Richard Brackett, Peter Brackett, Anthony Brackett, William Brackett.
She married to Martin Sanders about 1618 in England. Children were: Mary Sanders, Lea Sanders, Judith Sanders, Martin Sanders.
