Research on these two presumed brothers from VA for the past 6 months haa lead me to the
following conclusions.
1. Both were born in VA (ca 1818-1824). Daniel's father, David Hawkins, can be found
in the 1830 Bartholomew Co, IN Census with 2 male children in the age brackets for daniel
& Preston. They marry sisters (Preston to Nancy Petro [1844] & Daniel to Rebecca
Petro [1850]. Both marriages in Shelby Co.,IN. Preston is in 1850 Shelby Co Census &
Daniel in Brown Co, IN. Preston is in the 1860 MO census and then in Brown Co in 1870
Daniel remains in Brown Co till his death in 1913. Resources examined included about 7
books on Hawkins family histories, available cemetery & marriage records of VA up to
1850's, Bartholomew & Shelby Co Hawkins from census records and will records of
Brown & Bartholomew Counties. No information was gleaned that suggested a connection
to the other Hawkins. The Brumfields of Bartholomew County were also traced for spouses
& marriages without finding a connection to David's wife. Does anyone have
different findings?
Daniel & Rebecca's oldest daughter, Sabra Hawkins, married Elijah Lucas,my
grandfather.
