General Notes: Husband - Charles Coatesworth Rawn

---

His father dying when he was seven years of age, at Staunton, Virginia, his mother removed her family to her farm in Thornbury, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. He was educated at the West Chester Academy. In 1826 he came to Harrisburg and began the study of law with Francis R. Shunk, and was admitted to the Dauphin County bar Jan. 18, 1831. He at once commenced his career as a successful pleader, and up to the time of his death was considered one of the leading criminal lawyers at the Dauphin County bar. He was an earnest antagonist of human slavery, and during the days of the Fugitive Slave law was the eloquent pleader in behalf of the poor black.
