TROTMAN on 6 NOVEMBER 1815 In JUNE 1820 CENCH WARD was listed as the mother of a child which MICAAH BLANCHARD was BONDSMAN which usually means he was the father. And JOSEPH TROTMAN & JAMES RAWLS were Bondsmen as well. MICAAH BLANSHARD may have been thechild of WILLIAM BLANCHARD & MARY RAWLS. in 1849 KINCHEN NORFLEET left his will leaving property to his heirs: Sons: MARMADUKE, SETH, and JAMES J. NORFLEET & JOHN R.

SIMON STALLINGS left his will in 1808 naming his daughter AMELIA RAWLS among other children. in 1796 WILLIAM BLANSHARD orphan of ABSALOM BLANSHARD was bound an apprentice to RICHARD RAWLS to learn the business of Mill right & house carpenter. MARY RAWLS had married WILLIAM BLANSHARD on the 26th of September 1801 and he is most likely this WILLIAM BLANSHARD. in 1798 JOHN SAUNDERS abt 13 was bound to RICHARD RAWLS for the same and also that year, JETHRO ROBBINS son of MARY ROBBINS age abt twelve was bound the same. and again that same year ETHELRED BRADY (Alias SEARS) was bound the same. also that year WILLIAM FREEMAN sold 150 acres to RICHARD RAWLS In 1799 JOHN POULSON sold 30 acres to TIMOTHY WALTON with RICHARD RAWLS a witness. in 1901 JOHN SWAN PARKER and his wife ZILPHA sold 32 acres to SIMON STALLINGS with RICHARD & AMELY RAWLS as witnesses. in 1829 in CHOWAN CO., NC.
