It is the James Rawles family who is my gr. gr. father. I descend through his son Samuel Brinton Rawles. This James Rawles was married to Francis(Fanny) Miller. He had the following children: John Rawles James Rawles David Rawles Henry Rawles Nelson Rawles Albert Rawles Milton Rawles Samuel Brinton Rawles If this is a connection to the Rawles you were looking for let me know. I have some more info. on them. I would love to share info. with you. Cheryl Nelson cnelson02@juno.com >> Cheryl: I am descended from Conrad DEAL and Elizabeth RAWLES. Elizabeth was born January 7, 1806 in Ross Co., Ohio and her father was James RAWLES. I don't have the name of her mother or any siblings. She married Conrad DEAL, the grandson of Conrad THIEL/DEAL, a former Hessian Soldier, in Marion County, Ohio on February 22, 1825. They moved to Springfield Twp., LaGrange County, and she died there July 29, 1884. I think we have more RAWLES information. I have visited her grave and have the cemetery name and location. Do you have more information on James and his parents/grandparents? Regards, John DEAL WAGONER
