Notes
a. Note:   Henry's father and uncle are reputed to have arrived in this county from England as stowaways. One of them was supposed to be Lord Rawlings. One settled in Maryland and one in Virginia. This must be true, since there is no way to connect them to any of the other Rawlings families of Maryland at that time.
  Henry lived on a 200 acre farm at Greensboro, Caroline County, Maryland. He was first a schoolmaster, then became Keeper of Wills for Maryland in 1852-1853. He served as a State Senator from Caroline County for 1854 and was elected to serve in 1856. He was nominated for Governor of Maryland, but died before the election.
  Information is from the World Family Tree, Volume 11, Tree # 2757
  Other information is from oral Family tradition by his granddaugher, Elma Benefiel Gwinnup.
