Notes for R.S. JOHN RAULERSON:
John Raulersons parentage is unknown, but he had five brothers who formed a large family connection. He had a known brother, James (born about 1762) and a sister, Patricia, the known wife of Gideon Griffis (RS).
John Raulerson (Rawlinson, Rollison, etc.) believed to be the subject, was granted 100 acres of land from the King in March of 1771. This land is in the fork of the Wateree and Congaree Rivers in old Craven County, now Richland County, South Carolina.
John moved to Effingham County, Georgia, in the late 1780's. On June 13, 1789, he was granted 200 acres in Effingham County, Georgia. His brother, James, moved with him, but after a two year stay, returned to Richland County, South Carolina. John later had two more grants of land in Effingham County, totaling 300 acres. The last grant to him there was on January 31, 1798.
By January 2, 1801, John Raulerson had moved to the western part of the Glynn County, (now Wayne County) when he sold his land in Effingham as a resident of Glynn. He apparently lived the rest of his life in this area, but his date of death is unknown. His wife's name is unknown, but they were apparently still living in 1814 when Captain William Cone made an affidavit to obtain the right to vote for William Rawlinson. This document, recorded in Wayne County states that William Cone had known the mother of William, Noel, and Fanny Rawlinson since she had nursed William and that she was a fair, white skinned woman and that he also knew John Rawlinson and that he was said to be their father.
Obviously, the Raulerson family had some Indian ancestors as they were spies during the Indian War.
John Rawlinson was a Revolutionary War Soldier. He served in the South Carolina Malitia, Richland District, as did Benjamin, Richard, William and George. These men are believed to have been brothers of John. In addition, Gilbert and David Rawlinson served in the Continental Line from South Carolina.
Granted Land: 1771, Richland County, South Carolina, 100 acres.

Notes for JACOB RAULERSON:
Information provided by Kelly Roberson has Jacob Raulerson's death as being October 22, 1857.
Jacob Raulerson came to Georgia as a young man. Nothing about his parentage is know at this time. Jacob moved to Appling County in 1819 and settled in the 4th Land District in what is now known as Wayne County. This was on the Little Satilla River. He later sold out and settled on the same river in the 3rd Land District of Wayne County, now Brantly County, near the present town of Hortense.
Jacob served in the Militia during the War of 1812, as a Lieutenant in the Wayne County Militia in 1813, and as a mounted spy in the winter of 1814-1815 in Wayne County. He was named by the Legislature in 1822 as one of the commisioners of the courthouse and jail in Appling County.
When he died he owned five slaves and operated a country store in addition to his plantation operations.
The US Census of Wayne County, Georgia lists a John Parrott age 73 from SC and Edna Parrott age 50 from SC living in the household. Martha Harris, female age 11 from Georgia was living with the Raulerson's as well. The relationship is unknown at the time.
The will of Jacob Raulerson was dated April 22, 1857, and was probated November 2, 1857. It named his sons, Russell and James F. Raulerson, son-in-law, Samuel M. Pearson as executors. It directed that his slaves, all his other personal property, and a lot in Cherokee County and land lots 67 and 247 in the 3rd district of Wayne County, be sold and the proceeds equally divided between, Ichabod, James F., Russell, David and Wade H. Raulerson, Samuel M. Pearson, Hillery Cason and Abraham N. Knight. The other children were allowed nominal legacies of $10.00 each. His wife, Mary was provided for in the will. The estate inventory showed a total of $3235.83 in notes and accounts and "perishables", and $8223.74 in slaves, lands, etc.
Census References: 1820, Appling; 1830, 1840, 1850, Wayne.
Jacob Raulerson was named by the legislature, November 15, 1822, as one of the Commissioners of the court house and jail in Appling County.

Notes for MARY ANN DENNISON PURDOM:
Purdom Cemetery has almost been completely destroyed. Uncle Carroll took Mrs. E. A. Todd to this small plot of woods on Thursday June 4, 1998. They left his home and turned right onto highway 32 to the Satilla Baptist Church Road. They turned right on the dirt road, stayed on the dirt road until we just passed the Satilla Baptist Church. We then turned left going onto the old Roy Harper Home place. Charlotte lives and operates a beauty shop at the end of this road. We asked permission before continuing. We continued past her home on the right and followed the lane past her field to the end of the field and turned right on the dirt road, looking right, you will find the remains of this cemetery are located in a patch of woods with one marker. There is a new dirt road going around this patch of woods. The marker has the following names on it: Thomas Purdom, Sr. dob 1790, dod 1845; Marion Dennison Purdom, no date of birth, dod 1879; Thomas Purdom, Jr., dob 1823 dod 1894; Elizabeth Strickland Purdom, dob 1828, dod 1879; Samuel Purdom, dob 1847, dod 1847; James Thomas Purdom, dob 1849, dod, 1862; Colquit Purdom, dob 1859, dod, 1864. This marker has been pushed over and off of it's base. The woods have completely taken over this small plot.

The Knabb, Brown, Raulerson Families of Baker County Florida shows Nicebod as having 3 wifes - POW Volume 5 shows 4.
The differences I have found are in the names of the father's of the listed children.
Nichabod Raulerson was born in Bryan County, Georgia. He was the oldest son of Jacob Raulerson. He grew up in Wayne County. He was married four times and had a total of twenty three children. Due to the loss of Columbia County, Florida records, and the absence of any family records the list of children has had to be compled from recollections of aged living grandchildren in very recent years, and there is some uncertanity as to which children were born by the respective wives. The Hon. Albert DeVane, of Lake Placid, Florida noted South Floridan historian and genealogical authority, has in recent years driven all over The Florida peninsula interviewing decendants, trying to get the correct information as to the wives and children, to which as been added such limited data as the various censuses afforded. Mr. DeVane says that three children were born by the first wife who was Mrs. Eleanor Brannen, widow of John Milledge Brannen; and after her death about 1822, Nicebod Raulerson married Lucretia Harris, (or Franklin) by whom thirteen children were born. The third wife was Margaret A. Motte, born 1815 in South Carolina, by her three children were born. The fourth wife was Mrs. Ellen Brannen Brill, born 1830 in Florida, widow of Frederick Alexander Brill. By her four children were born.

Notes for RUSSELL RAULERSON:
The Russell Raulerson home, built around 1850 - 1852, is still standing on the Big Satilla River in Pierce County. It is now th A. J. Strickland home at the Strickland's Fishing Camp (this information was given in 1959; ownership may or may not have changed.) The home was the first frame house built in that part of the country.
The main road to Hoboken ran nearby, and Russell operated a ferry across the river, charging $0.15 a trip. It was said that the traveler could have meals and lodging indefinitely, but the $0.15 had to be paid immediately after the traveler was carried across the river.
Russell owned a great deal of land and build one of the first schools (log) there. He donated the land for the Prospect Church. Russell's brother, David, gave the land for the Raulerson Cemetery.
Russell moved to Wayne County in 1845, not far from his former home. He served as a Representative from Wayne County in 1851 and 1852, and as Justice of Wayne Inferior Court from 1854 - 1961. He and his wives are buried in the Raulerson Cemetery in Pierce County.
Russell was a Confederate Soldier. He volunteered for service as a Private in Capt. Hendry's Mounted Company attached to the 26th Georgia Infantry, later becoming Company "C" with Capt. John C. Nichols, later reorganized with James Knox of Ware County as Captain.
