Elizabeth Moore Raulerson wife of William Raulerson
is denoted as "half Indian" in the family bible. I posted
the transcription of that at www.wiregrassfamilies.com.
There are several Raulersons (previously Rawlinson/Rollison,
etc.) that are listed as 'mulatto' in various census
reports. That would have denoted Native American at
the time of those census reports.Elizabeth and William were
always denoted as 'white.' There was every good reason
not to claim NA blood at the time.
William Raulerson ran the ferry across the St.Mary's River
near Moniac, GA. There were extended family in GA and
No Fl. I descend from William and Elizabeth.
A resource for Raulerson research is www.lamartin.com and
the Baker County Historical Society in FL.
