Their eldest son, Benjamin Franklin Rawls (named for his grandfather) died only 10 days before his 15th birthday in 1845. Two other Rawls children are buried in Ebenezer Lutheran church cemetery in Columbia, SC where young Benjamin was buried: William H. Rawls / 5-9-1839 - 7-4-1842 Mary Cecille Rawls / Died 8-20-1846 Age 3 mo. These may be children of this same couple. Evidence for this: The Rawls children were born about every 2 years. There is a gap between Victoria (b. abt 1837) and Henrietta (b. abt 1841). William H. Rawls b. 1839 would fit. |
