From "Colonial Surrey (Co.)" by Boddie "

“During the Bacon's Rebellion, ROGER RAWLINGS was taken before the Court for assisting the rebels in crossing the river. He claimed that this was done at gunpoint. There is no indication he was convicted. Governor Berkeley was so fiendish in revenge of the rebels that Charles II of England recalled him in disgust.”

Ed.Note: In 1676 Virginia planters had to defend themselves against indian raids when Gov. Berkley did nothing. They then turned on Berkley's troops and when caught were hanged without trial.
