LAND RECORDS, LUNENBURG CO, VA
1759:ONLY SOURCE OF WHERE RAWLINGS LIVED IN LUNENBURG.Could be Peter's land or the land of the widow of John (1680-1752)) or it could be the land inherited by the children.
Lunenburg Co VA Land Patents 1746-1916 TLC, 34-315 399a 5/12/1759
Patent to: Richard Palmer
Location: North Side of Roanoke R.
Neighbors: RAWLINGS; John Clemmons
1764:SHOWS THAT BROTHER?WILLIAM IS ALREADY CONNECTED TO REYNOLDS CREEK:Lunenburg Co Va Deed Books 7 and 8 (1761-1764) Deed Book 8 page 380, Sep 22, 1764 from Tom Jones of L, to Phillip Goode of L, for 75 pounds, a certain tract of land in L on both sides of Reynolds Fork of the Great Horsepen Cr, containing 313 acres, and being part of a greater quantity that was patented to Benjamin Ward, and since by deed to the said Jones.The tract is bounded by the patent line.Signed - Tom Jones, Wit - Philip (x his mark) Jones, W goode, William Fawcett, WILLIAM RAWLINS.Recorded Oct 11, 1764.
1764-1771:FIRST MARRIAGE OF JOHN IV
married to Sally ? probably about 1767-70.Had children Sally (md Bartlett James) and Letty (md Archibald Fulks).It is possible that the next two children were also from Sally, i.e. Margaret (Peggy) and Mary (Polly).
1771 FIRST MARRIAGE CHILDREN
The m.b. of Bartlett James to Sally Rolings, d/o John and Sally Rolings who consent, 6 March 1791, is recorded in Halifax Co., Va, shows Bartlett son of "Huke Thomas James" (Mar.Bonds ... Halifax Co., VA 1753-1800, p. p.51, Knorr).Note - how can Sally consent since John has been re-married for 10 years - surely Sally died.This is my John's dau Sally because she is mentioned in his will as Sally James and see next.
Emigration to Other States From Southside VA, vl, Elliott, page 43, shows in a P/A - Bartlett James of Montgomery Co., NC, identifies himself as a legatee of the estate of John Rawlins, Senr., Charlotte Co., VA. (Char.Co.DB 13:109).
IGI shows: Sally Rawlings b c1770 in Halifax as a dau of William Rawlings and Mary Magdaline Roberts (Source Batch Number F8773515) and Mary Magdelene Rawlings b c1773 in Charlotte Co (Film 2034704 no parents listed).I don't put too much stock in the accuracy of this IGI info, but they could both be daus of Wm and Mary Magdalene but much more likely they are my John' s children since he did have a Sally md 1791 and a Mary (Polly) md 1805.
