    He apparently used the name Rawlins, spelled Rawlins, Rawlin, Rawline, Raulins, Raullins, and Ralence in various quoted sources. At least some of his children, especially later in life, used the spelling Rawlings.

    'A Thomas Rawlings and wife Mary had children Nathaniel and Thomas baptized in the parish of Little Baddow, about thirty miles southwest of Great Bromley in the late 1620s.'
    'NATHANIEL, baptized Little Baddow, Essex, England 16 September 1627 ...'
    'THOMAS, baptized Little Baddow, Essex 7 June 1629 ...'

    Smith assumes this is the family that immigrated to New England in 1630, and lists Nathaniel and Thomas as the youngest two children. He credits Robert Charles Anderson for the research. However, Anderson, in Great Migration Begins, seems to have decided that this is not the correct family, as he indicates that Thomas Rawlins' origin is unknown, and he lists Thomas as the oldest son. (Anderson presents the children in the same order as listed in the Roxbury Church Records, in the record of Thomas having come to New England - 'Thomas. Mary. Joane. Nathaniell. John.')
    Other information, such as the inclusion of Thomas Jr on an August 1643 list of Scituate men aged 16-60 (AEBK, 377; GMB) suggests that Thomas, Jr. was born before 1629 (although GMB points out that the 'list was probably updated from time to time and may not accurately reflect the ages of the men as of 1643').
