hoping to connect with family of pashal perry rawlins.
he was jp of madisonville, madison co, tx in the 1970's and
passed away abt. early 1980's in madisonville, tx. he was
mar.#2 to beulah edna (hawkins/hampton) stone, my gr.ma.
gr.pa rawlins was a loving gr.pa for all the gr.kids
desending on them every summer in madisonville, madison co, tx. the house backyard was across the gully from the auction barn. gr.pa rawlins would come home every noon for lunch. his ol' side step pickup would go along the side of the blacktop real slow, and us kids would jump in or on the side for the 'big' ride up to the house. he loved to have his favorite, cornbread & buttermilk in a glass.
gr.pa & gr.ma had a housekeeper, gladys johnson, her family lived up the road in front of the auction barn. gr.pa & gr. ma had no children together. gr.ma passed away in oct.1968, gr.pa rawlins remarried, #3 to julia mason (i believe),and
moved into town, not far from the hospital. gr.pa had children from his first marriage, name unknown, ch- 2(two) i know of-1-sonny. i guess this was a nickname. could have been a junior. either gr.pa's son or daug. had 2-female daughters (i can not remember which one)-shelia & laquita. one of these girls married one of gr. ma beulah's grandsons- kenny or greg restevo. i believe it was kenny- could be wrong though.

Most interesting and perhaps who I am searching for??? My grandfather's name is seemingly Zenith Leander Rawlins, son of J. A. Rawlins and Jospehine. Zenith Leander was born in Georgia and his first wife (?) could have been 'Minnie' - seemingly when the 1900 Census of Dallas, TX was taken Zenith, known as adult as Lee, was living in Dallas, TX as a boarder in the 6th Ward, and was widowed; however, there is a Lee Rollins (last name often spelled like this)also living in Dallas, same birthday and married to "Minnie" - two children: one girl (Sallee, 3) and a boy, (Tommy, 1). Confusing for sure . . . Thanks for your info on Jospehine . . . this is helpful!

John Rawlins (1715)

till1 — 2010-07-16 14:48:04Z

I have been researching the Rollins/Rawlins/Rawlings name to trace my great grandfather Silas Rollins. I found and added much information from other trees online here. Just recently I found the Rollins/Rawlins family book by John R. Rollins and in seeking to add/reconcil info there have come across, well, many discrepancies, but this one is key to my line. I'm not sure how the author compiled his information, though I am sure it wasn't easy and is as complete as he could make it back in the 1870s.
Thru James Rawlins & Deborah Peavey, everything seems to match if not a bit incomplete. The differences being that online there are two additional children listed that are not in the book, one of them being the John Rawlins that continues my line. So I am curious where anyone got their information connecting this John Rawlins as James and Deborah's son.
Also, as for John's wife....somewhere I seemed to have seen the name Sarah Jones (though I can't figure out where just now), but I also see his spouse listed as Mary Jones or Sarah S. Prevatt.

Thanks for the clarification. I have adjusted my files, and appreciate your taking time to correct.Again Thanks.

Re: Rawlins

wiessing — 2010-03-01 07:13:45Z

To clarify the original post. Nathan Rawlings, father of Zan Rawlings, was born in Illinois (probably near Lawrence County) about 1829. I arrived at this date by comparing his age at various times from the mid-1870's to the mid-1890's as documented on medical examination forms in his military pension file (of which I have a complete copy). His father was Michael Rawlings (b.about 1785-1845), who was son of Nathan Rawlings (1750-1821). Nathan (b.1829) was NOT married to Philena Ames. There was a Nathan who married a Philena Ames; however, THAT Nathan was the son of Benjamin Scott Rawlings (1799-1846), who was another son of Nathan (1750-1821).

Martin Rawlins and Margaret Weir, Whitesboro, Oneida Cnty, NY

abcweir — 2009-11-20 03:45:56Z

Martin Rawlins m. Margaret Weir (b. in Upper Canada ca 1848) in 1871.They had two children, Edgar (b. 1878) and Isabella Jane (or Jennie) (b. 1872) presumably in Whitesboro. Margaret was the d/o Hugh Weir and Isabella Anderson of Storrington Twp, Frontenac Cnty, Upper Canada.

According to 1880 census, Martin was b. in 1842 in Louisiana, but according to 1900 census, he was b Jan 1833 in Mississippi.

Does any know anything about Martin, or what became of their children?

Could he be the MartinJackson Rawlins wanted for murder in Mississippi?

George Pendergraph Rawlins (1873-1932)

wallabyLP — 2009-11-17 21:52:59Z

I'm looking for information on my third great-grandfather, the father of George Pendergraph Rawlins. The younger Rawlins married Mary Maude Wyatt around 1902, and they had ten children, with nine surviving infancy. According to this George Pendergraph's death certificate, his father's name was also George Rawlins, and his mother's maiden name was Johnson. The surviving Rawlins child (she's 96!) doesn't know and says she doesn't care - she's "not interested in the past," which was a common attitude among George and Maudie's kids.

My cousin believes George P may have lived with an uncle named Nathan Rawlins before he married, and that his parents died when he was very young. George was consistently listed as born in Louisiana. On two of the three census records I have, his father was listed as born in Louisiana, and on the third, he said Ireland. For his mother, I have one with Louisiana, one with Ireland and one with England. George had settled in Texas - Hill County and Somervell County over the years - by 1902.

I'd appreciate any information anyone has.
