(11) Info from Bobby Ray Rawls-see his RAWLS family website for extensive RAWLS family info back to 1600's Tidewater Virginia & North Carolina.
(12) Family oral history states that Dolphus died from a snakebite. He was a rail boss for the railroad. While he was working in a ditch repairing a railbed, a Water Moccasin crawled into his boot. He was unable to remove the snake before it bit him several times. His place of death shown above is only an assumption. If he is buried in the Kosse Cemetery, it is in an unmarked grave. A thorough survey of cemeteries in the surrounding area has also been unfruitful.
