The family makeup has changed dramatically by 1870.

(36) and Sarah L. (26) Everett and their children Paul L. (6), Anna W. (2), and S. Edwin (11/12) Everett. Robert is a Physician. It is of interest that Risop H. Rawls never marries and moves to Schlatterville, Pierce Co., GA: The 1910 Federal Census for Schlatterville, Pierce Co., GA records Risop H. Rawls (58 - single / VA/NC/VA) living with his widowed sister, Stella M. Beaton (60 - VA/NC/VA). Risop is a Dry Goods Merchant. Also ... The 1900 Federal Census for Schlatterville, Pierce Co., GA, District 81 records Hisop (sic) H. Rawls (May 1851 - single / VA/VA/VA) living with his widowed sister, Stella M. Beaton (Jan 1849 - VA/VA/VA). Hisop is a Merchant.

Ann married Willis Rawls, son of John Rawls Jr. and Living. (Willis Rawls was born circa 1775 in Nansemond Co, VA and died after 1820 in Nansemond Co, VA.)
