(2) at Scituate, 25 May 1664, Edward WRIGHT. Administration of the estate of Nathaniel RAWLINS was granted by the General Court at Plymouth, 5 Oct. 1663, to Lydia RAWLINS, widow. (Plymouth Colony Records, Court Orders, vol. 4, p. 46). Children by first husband (surname RAWLINS): Elizabeth... Ruth... Lydia... Patience... Nathaniel... Elizabeth... Nathaniel...

"Between the years 1676 and 1680, 'Dea. Thomas KING' bought land west of Stony Cove Brook... his house is still standing on the main road in South Scituate, on the easterly corner of what is now known as Parker Street... Thomas RAWLINS bought this tract in 1648 on the same site as that afterwards occupied by the King house. His son, Nathaniel, inherited the home, and after his death, in 1662, it was occupied by his widow, who later married Edward WRIGHT. In the Indian raid of May, 1676, the house was burned to the ground. It is probable that the large family of young children were safely sheltered at the Block House, with the families of other settlers, as news of the oncoming Indians had been received the day before at Hingham. Shortly after the raid, dea. Thomas KING acquired the land by purchase."
