Henry Rawlins

The purchaser of the Hutchinson estate in 1790 was shown as 'Mr Rawlins'. The estate was in the name of Henry Rawlins as owner between 1817 and 1825: in the latter year the estate was in chancery. In 1828 and 1831 the estate was shown against Henry Rawlins deceased. Henry Rawlins of Nevis died in 1823, so that the identification of the owner of Hutchinsons as the same man might be inaccurate.
