Does anyone know the present address of Robert Hunsaker? We would appreciate knowing it. His mother did a great deal of research on the Rawlings line during her lifetime.

 

So far our membership/subscription list includes "cousins" from 29 states. We sent newsletters to persons in 42 states from lists of names we had and those additional names you sent with your subscriptions. Does anyone know of "cousins" in the remaining 8 states of Delaware, the two Dakotas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wyoming?

We'd like to hear from the many Rollin(g)s of New England, and what about West Virginia? Many Rawlin(g)s/Rollin(g)s settled there post-revolutionary times when it was still Virginia territory.
