Rawley's of Indiana

Hi Don,
I came across your message on the genealogy forum when trying to find the connection between my great-grandfather John Ernest Rawley and the Raleigh line from England.
I know so little about my grandmother's family and with her age getting close to the 90's it's hard for her to remember much about them.
I do know that they came from the Indiana area, I think in the Owens County because we have some connection to the Greenwoods there.
My great-grandpa Rawley moved his wife Ora and their childern to Champaign County somewhere in the 1910-1930's but have no real dates. They were sharecroppers and my grandmother Mary June Rawley married my grandfather Glen Eugene Black in 1934 and lived in Urbana, Illinois. My grandmother still lives there.
One of the reasons why I am writing is because I would love to find out any information about the Rawley's of Indiana and share that with my mother and with my 13 yr old son.
So hopefully we have some connections and you can add your information about my family to yours.
My mother married Rodney Drake in 1972 (funny connection I know since Sir Walter and Sir Francis were actually disant cousins....) and of course had me and my younger sister (she lives in Phoenix, AR) and we currently live in Tampa Florida.
Well anything you or anyone would have would be great!
Thanks,
Cynthia
