Looking for information concerning the RAWLINGS family (Michael, Ezekiel, Gatewood, etc.) who lived in or around Jo Daviess County, IL in the mid-1800's (1830's-1860's) This family is not to be confused witht he Rawlins family that was prominent in JoDaviess County, IL, though in some records, the name may have been spelled the same.

Michael died in 1850, his brother Ezekiel had apparently lived in JoDaviess County shortly after the 1832 Black Hawk War, and another brother, Gatewood, married in Grant County, WI, just north of JoDaviess County.

Any information is welcomed.
