Could "Rachael" be a misreading of "Ruth J"?  Everything points to this being the same couple that shows up in the 1850 Census.  I can find no later record of a second marriage for Peter.

I tried to turn "Ruth J" into "Rachel," but couldn't, though it's easy to see how with a difficult record such a misreading could occur.  I'm wondering if the marriage record isn't a misreading of "Rachel" for "Ruth J"?  Living next door to Solomon & Nancy WOLF, who are living next door to Isaac & Dilly WOLF, who are living next door to Catherine (GRUMBLEY) KEELING, Peter's widowed sister-in-law.
