Preston Hawkins married Nancy A Petro Feb 1844 in Shelby County, Indiana [Indiana Marriage
Collection 1800-1941]. I found them in the Shelby County Washington twp census in 1850. In
1860 they were in Missouri but came to Brown County before the 1870 census. Nancy A Petro
is a sister of Daniel's wife, Rebecca. I presumed that Preston & Daniel Hawkins
were brothers as suggested in the Hawkins file by Helen & Kenneth Reeve who married
sisters. I have tried to find their parents in Virginia but have had no success,
Is there a transcript of the trial? The Hawkins file says that George Rutter was accused
but acquitted by the jury. George Rutter was the spouse of Elizabeth Hawkins at the time.
Joseph Petro married Jane Pittman in Bartholomew Co in 1868. Is this the Jane in
question?
