Rachel and Elizabeth Reid in York Township in 1800s

[punch]

I do not know if this is the correct board to post this question. In my research of early settlers on Concession 4 east of Yonge Street I find 2 Samuel Martin families, one on Lot 4 and the other on Lot 2. Both Samuels are married to Reid women - one is Elizabeth Reid born about 1832 in Ireland and the other Rachel Reid born on September 11, 1827 in Ireland. My dilemma is that I am trying to determine whether the 2 Reid women are sisters and they married men with same given and last name. I have tried to find results in Familysearch and other internet sites and have been unsuccessful. Would you have any suggestions for me? Thank you in advance.

Not sure this will help yet - marriage of Rachel Reid to Samuel Martin - witnesses John Reid and Elizabeth Reid. 14 January 1850 Toronto.

Death record for Rachel Martin doesn't give any clues - Rachel Martin 24 July 1901 - 73 years - born Ireland - housewife - widow - 4 con E York

Good clue Sandra on the marriage license. John and Elizabeth Reid could quite possibly be brother and sister of Rachel.

There is an anc tree which says Rachel Reid (Martin) - 1827–1901
Born 11 September 1827 - Ireland and died 24 July 1901 - York Township, York, Ontario.

Not sure that the parents listed look correct but will quote them for you to see 

Parents are listed as - John Hugh MARTIN - 1790–1861
Born 8 March 1790 - Monongalia Co,(W)VA and passed away 24 SEP 1861 - Farmington, Marion, Virginia   
Mother Nancy Elizabeth EVERLY - 1797–1845
Born 26 July 1797 - Monongalia Co,(W)VA passed away 26 July 1845 - Farmington, Marion, Virginia, USA

Wow Sandra. Thank you so much for the information on the death of Elizabeth Reid Martin and the name of her parents. You have the right Rachel (Reid) Martin, but the parents listed are wrong because Rachel was born a Reid. I don't know how you do it, but you are always such a great help in uncovering information that I cannot.

Those parents - "stick out like a sore thumb" - one of those not to be relied on anc trees 
Shame Rachel's death certificate didn't give parents info
