Note that Mary Watson Early Rawlings' sister Sarah md Stephen Coleman bef 1778. How does he fit into the Daniel Coleman family whose son Thompson Coleman md (1834) Sarah Leland Rawlings (b c 1812, Pittsylvania Co) dau of Wm Rawlings and Sarah Brame. And also the Wiley G. Coleman that md (in 1830) Elizabeth Rawlings(b 1805, Brunswick Co) dau of Benjamin Rawlings.

We have a Coleman connection between Peter Rawlings family (Lunenburg, Charlotte, Cambell), the William Rawlings/Sarah Brame family (Caroline/Pittsylvania Co.) and the William Rawlings/Naomi family through son Henry, grson Benjamin, gr-grdau Eliz. (Brunswick Co).
