Hi
My brickwall is Armstrong HAWKINS and his wife Mary DAVIS.
Armstrong was born 25 Jan 1818 in IN. Mary DAVIS was born 22 Sep 1819
in OH. They married 17 Mar 1836 in Franklin Co. This family appears in
the 1840 fed census for Franklin Co, and 1850 Ray Twp, Franklin Co IN
census. Also in 1850 with them is Rachel HAWKINS, age 59, b in TN.
Possibly Armstrong's mother. Family history states that his parents
were a John and Rachel HAWKINS. Both Armstrong's and Mary's birth yr
are in question. Could be as early as 1812 or as late as 1819. The
family removed to Jackson Co, IA in about 1854 and both died in 1869.
Also in the 1850, Metamora, Franklin Co fed census are a John and Mary
HAWKINS, who named a son, Armstrong. I have not been able to find
anything further on them.
I have found three main HAWKINS lines in this eastern area of IN.
HAWKINS/HACKLEMAN; HAWKINS/ LYTLE/LITTLE and John and Nancy HAWKINS, but
have not been able to count any of them completely out. I have not been
able to connect Mary DAVIS with any DAVIS line. Any help will be
greatly appreciated.
