**Jedediah Lincoln Rawlings** (January 18, 1880 - October 18, 1988) was a member of the Webster administration from January 1, 1910 to December 31, 1919, alongside his father, Thomas Elliott Rawlings. Jedediah Rawlings served as the Senior Intern Manger of the office of Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria under the orders of Prime Minister Garfield Lucas Webster and then in the 1919 Chawosaurian legislative elections, he was elected to the Imperial Senate of the Empire of Chawosauria representing the Senate District of the American Midwest from 1920 until he was defeated by a communist in the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections. Jedediah Rawlings was a war veteran in the Spanish-American War in 1898. Rawlings was a member of the U.S. Republican Party as well as a staunch Websterian. For several times, Jedediah Rawlings was tapped for Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria several times by Garfield Webster, Theodore McClellan, his father, Walerian I. Boleslaw, and many other Chawosaurian Republicans and one Democrat: Garfield Lucas Webster II. Rawlings would not be Prime Minister at all as he died in 1988 of unknown causes.

Jedediah Lincoln Rawlings was born on January 18, 1880, in Winslow Township, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, to Thomas Elliott Rawlings and Sarah Ann Marshall. The youngest of four and the oldest of just one out of all five siblings in the Marshall-Rawlings household. The religious loyalty of the Rawlings household is unknown, it is speculated that the Rawlings were either Quakers or Unitarians. Rawlings never spoke of his religion publicly or privately. Because of the name Jedediah, he was widely suspected to be Jewish. In 1897, Rawlings joined the United States Armed Forces and graduated West Point, and he was deployed to fight in the Spanish-American War in 1898, which didn't took so long. Following returning from the war, Rawlings was mildly injured by a Spanish naval ship and never went back to war ever again. Rawlings settled down with a woman, Judith Wallace, the daughter of one of Garfield Webster's most hated enemies, Charlie Aaron Wallace. When Rawlings married into the Wallace family, Rawlings' relationship with Webster deteriorated and once told him that "boy, your name is not surprising considering your disloyalty". Wedded in 1907, Jedediah and Judith had five children in 11 years, two sons and three daughters.

Jedediah Rawlings was nominated by both his father and now Prime Minister Garfield Webster to lead Webster's interns. Serving as Senior Intern Manager from 1910 to 1919, but when Rawlings was succeeded by Charlie Dylan Barlow, a personally controversial figure, Rawlings ran for the Imperial Senate in 1919, and was elected five times representing the Senate District of the American Midwest, but sadly, he was voted out of office in a landslide by a communist challenger, Jeremy Richards, who went on to serve as Senator until his own election loss in 1975. Since Rawlings left the Imperial Senate, he shifted to the conservative right, supporting the Vietnam War, opposing the Civil Rights Movement, the second-stage of the women's rights movement. and the LGBTQ+ rights movement. Rawlings became a staunch supporter of U.S. President Ronald Reagan, and since Rawlings worked very closely with Garfield Webster, his conservative views has resulted in ugly clashes with the increasingly liberal Webster family. Rawlings had openly shifted right since Garfield Webster died in 1955, but his fear of alienating Webster was why his earlier shift to the right wasn't publicly known. Rawlings was somewhat alienated by President Reagan because of Reagan's sudden warming relations with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and became furious with Reagan for finally addressing the HIV/AIDS pandemic in 1987.

Speaking of AIDS, Rawlings ironically died from AIDS on October 18, 1988, at age 108 at his home in Ulysses, Pennsylvania, after an accidental transmission. Eleanora McClellan-Webster refused to attend his funeral in protest against his views on people with HIV/AIDS; the Chawosaurian government, now under a full Communist Party government, refused to give him a state funeral because of his anti-Soviet views though Rawlings was a major veteran of the Garfield Lucas Webster prime ministerial administration in the 1910s. In 2007, Rawlings' daughter, Jane Ann Rawlings, sued the Chawosaurian government for refusing to hold a state funeral for her father, and in 2021, Rawlings' granddaughter, Carolyn Stella Rawlings-Ramsey, demanded an apology from Chawosaurian Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker for the Chawosaurian government's treatment of her grandfather following his death, Parker refused to apologized on behalf of the Chawosaurian government.
