Daughter of Stedman Rawlins (q.v.) and his wife Gertrude nee Tyson. Stedman Rawlins registered 2 enslaved people as guardian of Gertrude Johnson Rawlins. In the same entry, Gertrude Rawlins registered 6 enslaved people for her sister Sarah Tyson. At some point before 1831, Sarah Tyson transferred one of her enslaved people, a two year old child named Margaret Jane, to Gertrude Johnson Rawlins by deed of gift. In 1831, Gertrude Johnson Rawlins owned six enslaved people in total, having also recently gifted one to her mother Gertrude senior and received one from her mother in return.
