Cyd, If you get a reply, please let me know. My grandfather, James Judson Gordon, was to have been the wharf master in the Mississippi River port town of Rodney...while Rodney was still on the river. I have yet to confirm this information. Maybe the book will help me too. By the way, my wife is also a Rawls. She was born and raised in Hattiesburg and has just begun her family work. Unfortunately, she only has two generations of info. Have you done any Rawls work?
