Greetings Cousins:
I don't know what it's like where you are but summer has come to California, and since we've had 5 years of drought and this summer doesn't look any different we Golden Staters aren't looking forward to the next four months.
I am a
little saddened by the fact that not everyone has rejoined for 1992. Our
membership is now only 112 and 8 of those are brand new subscribers. I've been
kept busy sending out reams of material to many concerning their antecedents,
in some cases catching up on delayed correspondence I am ashamed to say. By the
end of the month I should have all past requests taken care of.
For those
of you descending from MOSES RAWLINGS KBI (Killed By Indians) I have the copies
of the photos of Blanquette/Blanket Creek and will send them off to whomever is
interested. For those of you who don't know the significance of that,
Blanquette Creek in oldtime Bourbon County, Kentucky, is where MOSES and his
family settled in October of 1786, and where he and a brother were killed by
indians in the spring of the following year.
We also
now have a copy of the publication" RAWLINGS Since the Civil War; which
contains 1,694 birth & death records of RAWLINGS who have lived and died in
America after Social Security was established in the mid 1930's. You are most
likely to find persons on this list who were born after 1870 and who lived long
enough to collect SS, dying after 1962. It is up-to-date to September of 1990.
Send an SASE and the name(s) of your relative(s). The info I'll send back will be
as follows:
JOHN
RAWLINGS, born Florida 05/28/1922; died Arkansas 02/00/1984 SS#266-77-4497
Remember,
if a person was self-employed he or she might not be on the list. My husband
has found several uncles and cousins, but his father is not included since he
was a self-employed pharmacist. The self-employed were not included in the
Social Security System until the 1950's, and he died in 1948. I am also going
to inquire if there is a separate publication for RAWLINS, and one or two
publications for ROLLINGS and ROLLINS, and will purchase them if there are.
Keep the
cares and letters coming!!!
