Notes on Aaron Rawlings by George Rawlings:
Research has proven that there were a number of Rawlings families who came to
America during the 1600's and earky 1700's. Some came into Boston, some to VA and
some, like our ancestors, came into MD. The main distinction of our family from the
others was the continual repetition of Biblical names handed down from generation to
generation. Names such as Aaron, Moses, Daniel, Michael, Asahel, Ezekiel and David.
The most popular names and those with the longest consistency were Nathan and
Michael.
Our earliest identified ancestor is Aaron, who was born about 1667 and died in 1741.

Court in 1773, Aaron and Susannah had six sons and one daughter. ...Daniel, his eldest
