Family Group #5

Jo Qualls (joqualls@comcast.net) has shared with me information about her Tennessee Hawkins family.  Her first cousin  has done yDNA testing and his results match with Family Group #5.  His kit number is 474304.  Thus, Jo is able to assume that her Hawkins line is a match to FG #5.  And the good news is that indeed Jo believes that the paper trail for her Hawkins line connects her to John the Mariner.

 Also from Jo:

I’ve found many descendants of Joseph, d. 1844, and now with the DNA matches, I’m discovering more and more. I would love to participate and share information with anyone. Here is a link to ECHOS OF SPRING CREEK, published by Harold A. Hawkins, a descendant of James Hawkins, the 4th son of Augustine d. 1808. It’s the story of the Tennesee Hawkins family. A lot of the information in the book was given to Harold by Jeanne Bornefeld.  The book does have some mistakes in it, but it also gives a  good picture of the Tennessee Hawkins Family. Below is the link.  It’s a large book of over 750 pages, so give it some time to load.
