The Participant who was sponsored by Richard Wilstead falls into family group #2. This is also the family group that Sandi Vaught's research would lead her to believe her family would connect. Richard's research connects him to Manoah/Noah Hawkins who died in 1814 in Montgomery County, Virginia. His birth date is circa 1767. Manoah/Noah was married to Susannah Reynolds. I had been told that Susannah was born in Botetourt County, Virginia and probably the couple married there. However, if you look at the comment below, you will see that it is unlikely that Susannah was born in Botetourt County as her father does not show up in the tax lists until 1787 and Susannah is said to have been born in 1772.
Sandi believes her family line that goes back to Jehu Dyer Hawkins born 25 Aug 1756. Most likely scenario is that Manoah/Noah is the nephew of Jehu Dyer. William Hawkins who died in Franklin County, Kentucky in 1818 is father of Manoah/Noah and brother to Jehu Dyer Hawkins.
Joseph Reynolds, father of Susannah Reynolds who married Noah/Manoah Hawkins, is not shown in Botetourt or Montgomery Co VA until the 1787 tax list. There is no documentation of him being in the area prior to this time. Susannah's tombstone states she was born 6 November 1772. I don't believe Susannah Reynolds was born in Botetourt Co VA.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much C. Thoms! I will edit the post to show your suggestion. But I will also leave your comment in place so that others can see it. If you would like to contact me directly, I will put you in touch with other researchers who look at this line. Also feel free to put your contact information here if you would like others to contact you directly. This is not my own Hawkins line. I only know mostly what others tell me. marsha
ReplyDeleteHi, Marsha. We have been in contact previously about Noah/Manoah Hawkins. I wrote the comment above about Joseph Reynolds. I don't know why my name is showing up as "Thoms". It should be Thomas. Cindy Thomas cthomas5@prodigy.net
