CORRECTION

From Wilma Rawlings: In the March issue in the article about MARGARET MILES RAWLINGS we listed JAMES and ASAHEL and EZEKIEL RAWLINGS as being the sons of MOSES and Mary (Cornwell) RAWLINGS. They are the sons of EZEKIEL and Nancy (Curry) RAWLINGS.

Ed: I knew that ... big error!!!!

Harry Suffron sends us a note about a new book on the ROLLINS of New Hampshire.

"The ROLLINS Family in the New Hampshire Provincial Deeds 1655-1771" compiled by Alden M. ROLLINS. It's a new research guide that will be an invaluable source for those interested in this family. It is thoroughly researched and meticulously documented. It is a much needed companion to the John R. ROLLINS book of 1874. It also is completely indexed.
