Children of JOSEPH RAWLINGS and CATHARINE are:

i. JAMES2 RAWLINGS, b. Abt. 1758; d. October 1785, King George Co., VA2; m. MARGARET STREBLING PRICE, January 05, 1778, King George Co., VA.

 

Notes for JAMES RAWLINGS:

See RFHA Mar 1996 p.6.

No children in will.

 

RFHA Dec 1989, p.7.

King George Co., VA Wills, WB2, p.92., Will of James Rawlings proven Nov 3, 1785 - to wife Margaret, father Joseph, brother-in-law John Price, brother Henry. Witnesses Daniel Edrington and John H. Suttle.

 

King George Co, VA Marriages

James Rawlings to Margaret Strebling, Jan. 5, 1778. Perhaps Margaret's name is not Price but Strebling. She calls James Price "her brother" but maybe that is actually brother-in-law.

 

Notes for MARGARET STREBLING PRICE:

RFHA Dec 1989, p.7. King George Co VA Wills. Margaret Rallings - to unnamed sisters, Sucky Jones Price (underage, not married) brother John Price. Wit: Calvert Jones & Benjamin Brown. WB 2, p.115. Will proven June 4, 1789.

 

This is confusing: If the Will is that of Margaret md to James, then it implies that her maiden name was Price. Yet it seems to be Strehling. Perhaps she was a widow, Margaret Strehling nee Price. For now I will assume that. It also implies she had no living children. since none are mentioned in the will.

 

Margaret who md Wm Hudson is mentioned in father Joseph's will in 1795 and isn't mentioned in mother Catherine's will in 1800. So it would seem she died betw 1795 and 1800.

 

ii. HENRY RAWLINGS, b. Abt. 1760.

2. iii. JOSEPH RAWLINGS, b. Abt. 1762, King George Co., VA; d. Abt. 1805, King George Co., VA.

3. v. MARGARET RAWLINGS, b. Abt. 1768; d. Bet. 1795 - 1800.

4. vi. UNKNOWN RAWLINGS, b. Abt. 1763.

Notes for MARGARET RAWLINGS:

RFHA Dec 1989, p.7. King George Co VA Wills. Margaret Rallings - to unnamed sisters, Sucky Jones Price (underage, not married) brother John Price. Wit: Calvert Jones & Benjamin Brown. WB 2, p.115. Will proven June 4, 1789.

 

This is confusing: If the Will is that of Margaret md to James, then it implies that her maiden name was Price. Yet it seems to be Strehling. Perhaps she was a widow, Margaret Strehling nee Price. For now I will assume that.

 

Margaret who md Wm Hudson is mentioned in father Joseph's will in 1795 and isn't mentioned in mother Catherine's will in 1800. So it would seem she died betw 1795 and 1800.

 

RFHA Jun 1989, p. 3. Marriage is listed in King George Co VA, but another source says Stafford Co., VA.

 

Notes for WILLIAM HUDSON:

RFHA Jun 1997, p.27. King George Co., VA Marriages: Margaret Rawlings md Wm. Hudson, Mar 10, 1785. Also Sarah Rawlings md Thomas Cutridge, May 16, 1782.

Children of MARGARET RAWLINGS and WILLIAM HUDSON are:

i. CATY SUTTLE3 HUDSON, b. Bet. 1786 - 1794.

ii. PEGGY ROLLINGS HUDSON, b. Bet. 1796 - 1799.

4. UNKNOWN2 RAWLINGS (JOSEPH1) was born Abt. 1763. She married JOHN PRICE Abt. 1784 in King George Co., VA.

 

Notes for UNKNOWN RAWLINGS:

Perhaps this a first marriage of Peggy (Margaret), but if so there must have been a divorce because she md Wm Hudson in 1785 and John Price is mentioned in the will of (I think) her sister-in-law Margaret (1789) as her brother, John Price. This is all very confusing. See RFHA Dec 1989, p. 7.

 

Notes for JOHN PRICE:

May be brother of James and Margaret Price. See RFHA Mar 1996 p.6.

Child of UNKNOWN RAWLINGS and JOHN PRICE is:

i. SUCKY JONES3 PRICE, b. Abt. 1785.
