On P.251 “Fauquier Co., Bicentennial Committee" publication ... states that Eshton (RAWLINGSDALE or Flint Hill) as part of Pres. George Washington's estate, and which was deeded to JOHN DOUGLASS RAWLINGS, inherited by JOHN WILL RAWLINGS, near Rectortown, Fauquier Co., VA. This is not the Douglass family of Albermarle Co., VA, but there may be some connection. Anyone like to look into that?
