Career
After deceiving Rebecca into marriage, the two left for England. He abandoned her, took all of her possessions, left her penniless, and, as she soon found out, pregnant. The trip would require her to sail to Jamaica then board another ship to Boston.
A powerful earthquake and subsequent tsunami destroyed the ship and claimed the lives of the crew and passengers just off the Jamaican coast.
Rawson died, aged 36, just off Portuguese Royal, Jamaica.
