In a letter from WILMA RAWLINGS, P.O.Box 3066, Shawnee, OK 74802, she gave details of research and get-acquainted trip she made with DORIS and JOE RAWLINGS of Cottage Grove, Oregon. They had been sharing RAWLINGS information for some 18 years and finally met. They had a marvelous time in Illinois visiting the gravesites of all the RAWLINGS of their line (MOSES KBI, NATHAN, ASAHEL et al), also the old homesteads of same. They hope to get together again next spring in Harrison County, Kentucky, to research even further back. WILMA later went to Kentucky in October, and also visited the RAWLINGS (of sporting goods fame) gravesites in St. Louis; and also the site of other RAWLINGS homesteads and gravesites in New Harmony, Posey County, Indiana. (New Harmony is where your Editor's husband's family came from.)

She also related that DORIS RAWLINGS has located the ancestors of ELLEN/NANCY Doyle, daughter of MOSES KBI; who remained in Kentucky while most of MOSES' children went on to Ohio in the very early 1800's. She found these people in Mason Co., KY, where they were supposed to have lived on the Ohio River on Doyles' Landing,. They actually lived one county east in Lewis Co., KY. Simon Doyle was the name of ELLEN/NANCY's husband, and it was these Doyles DORIS was researching. By coincidence WILMA also had made contact with another branch of the Doyles in Tennessee, and so another branch of her family tree is beginning to sprout leaves. Congratulations to you, DORIS and WILMA.

A sad note was included in her letter, the death of her mother who had been ill a very long time. Our condolences, WILMA.
