Seasons Greetings to you all!
It's been a great 8th year of publishing our newsletter. Our
membership now is 175, and our bank balance is a healthy one. Subscribers send
us information on a regular basis and our inquiries are numerous. Many ask us
to verify information and all the editor can do is forward them to whichever
subscriber we have who can answer the question or questions. Works out great!
Thanks to those of you who answered my request for
information on OMRI RAWLINS on P.37 of the September newsletter. It seems he
prepared a history of his line which is now in circulation. As to HENRIETTA
RAWLINGS of Savannah, Georgia, no one seems to have heard of her. Now I'm
wondering where I heard of her. I guess I have "old timer's disease".
I was corrected however on the fact that the TOM and Mary RAWLINGS HISTORY of
Telfair, Georgia, was to be credited to her.
You will note a rather long submission on pp 54 thru 57
concerning the so-called "Llewelyn Treason Plot" in North Carolina
during the Revolutionary War. We have several subscribers who may, if early
research is correct, descend from this JAMES RAWLIN(G)S/ROLLIN(G)S. (There are
many spellings for his name depending upon who are reading.) LYLE B. RAWLINS,
did a masterful job of researching this family, and so has DEE and OLLIE
RAWLINS of Texas. In all cases it is a mystery whether JAMES was their
ancestor. In all the records of the conspiracy only "his family" is
indicated, no names. It might do to research in North Carolina now since this
new information has surfaced.
Received a nice Christmas card and letter from GARTH RAWLINS
of Australia whose letter was included in the last issue on P.44. I had sent
him a copy of that newsletter for his enjoyment, which he had, he told me.
Once again you will find the renewal slip enclosed. I will
not include one with the newsletter of anyone who has already paid for 1996. If
inadvertently I do, just toss it, or give it to someone who might want to join
with us.
Happy holidays ... and a great New Year!!!
