In the future we will bring you further information on R's of all spellings from the Coldham books covering 1700- 1900. I hope you will note there are no ROLLIN(G)S in this books which further proves that RAWLIN(G)S wag the original English spelling of the name.

N.B. Note that on P. 33 there is a DANIEL RAWLINGS in Baltimore Co., Maryland, who named his tract of land "Jeopardy" in 1735. Earlier a JOHN RAWLINGS in St. Christopher's in the Caribbean named his plantation "Jeopardy". It is now a hotel and restaurant popular with tourists.
