Aunt Mary Rumney Rawlings
and her Family


Mary RUMNEY was born on 4 Jun 1696 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
She married Daniel Rawlings Sr. on 12 Jul 1716.

Daniel Rawlings and Mary Rumney, were Colonel Moses Rawlings Uncle and Aunt. They resided in the part of Baltimore County that became Frederick County in 1749. A Daniel Rawlings was a Commissioner who helped establish the boundaries of Frederick County, and served in an official capacity of some kind, the records indicate. Mary Rawlings clearly was a relative of Nathaniel Rumney, who married into the Carroll family, and inherited, by way of his wife, Carroll land in the infamous Pipes Creek area. The story of her other brother, Edward Rumney, appears to be a tale of woe.


Edward Rumney's Tavern and the Lost Towns Project

In the following records, I am not sure which is Edward Rumney, Sr., and which is Edward Rumney, Jr. , or whether Nathaniel Rumney is Edward Jr.'s brother, or son. I am hoping that we can obtain more information to better delineate the different Rumneys.

Edward Rumney and the Maccubbins

Aaron Rawlings I

Notes on Aaron Rawlings by George Rawlings:

Research has proven that there were a number of Rawlings families who came to America during the 1600's and early 1700's. Some came into Boston, some to VA and some, like our ancestors, came into MD. The main distinction of our family from the others was the continual repetition of Biblical names handed down from generation to generation. Names such as Aaron, Moses, Daniel, Michael, Asahel,
Ezekiel and David. The most popular names and those with the longest consistency were Nathan and Michael.

Our earliest identified ancestor is Aaron, who was born about 1667 and died in 1741. Aaron married Susannah Jones and according to testimony given by his son, Jonathan, in Court in 1773, Aaron and Susannah had six sons and one daughter. ...Daniel, his eldest son, Moses, his second son, Aaron, his third son, William, his fourth son, Jonathan, his fifth son, Stephen, his sixth son, and daughter, Ann, to inherit land called "Brown's Adventure" in Baltimore Co. with Aaron designated to hold the homestead.

Aaron owned various farms and property over the years.
Following are a list of some of these:

Youngs Lot, Baltimore Co., 1699, Roper's Range, Prince George Co. 1703, Bridge Hill, Anne Arundel Co. 1703,
Brown's Adventure, Baltimore Co. 1703, Timberneck, West Pudding, Jones Lot, Hickory Hills, Beard's Habitation,
Anne Arundel Co., Calarney, Baltimore Co.

Some Better Wares


   In between the common grades of work, on one and, and procelains, on the other, American potters made constant boast of producing wares 'allowed by the nicest judges to exceed any imported from England'. These were always 'on the very lowest Terms' -terms that were often based not on cash but barter, and perhaps 'the potter will take in Pay, pork, tar, wheat, corn or tobacco' [Maryland, 1756]. Though claiming so much, theirs were mostly small and experimental ventures, poorly financed and showing a high mortality rate. Edward RUMNEY in July 1746 bravely undertook 'to sett up a Pottery' at Annapolis, having 'furnished himself with Persons exceedingly well skilled [in the making of] all sorts of Potts, Pans Juggs, muggs &c.' Within four months his business was already offered at public vendue, even 'two Potters and several Horses'. A more ambitious project was that factory in New Boston which advertised in October 1769 'for Apprentices to learn the Art of making Tortoiseshell, Cream and Green-coloured Plates' [or Queensware and so-called green-edge Leeds]. After this solitary notice, only silence. From the dismal number of such failures, Lord Sheffield's Observations on the Commerce of the United States [1791] seems not too prejudiced in saying: 'Manufactures of glass, of earthenware, and of stone mixed with clay, are all in an infant state.' Yet across this fairly cheerless scene moved many potters of sound experience. Who were these lost men? Some are known only from one passing mention in early records, or for a solitary example of ware 'said to be' by John Doe, a potter. Unlike the silversmiths, who were often men of public consequence, potters enjoyed relatively slight notice.
