Gardner Hawkins

Gardner Hawkins has been associated with the Hawkins DNA project for many years.  Gardner's son, Gerry, shared death information for our group's friend and associate:

Hi,
I’m sorry to let you know of the recent death of my father, Gardner Perry “Pete” Hawkins (II), in Olympia, Washington. A full obituary is available on Legacy.com. He was the son of Gardner P. (“Doc”) Hawkins and Hallie Gertrude Chapman. The elder Gardner P. Hawkins (1861-1949) was the son of William S. (Strother?) Hawkins (~1815-1869) of McLean County, Illinois, born in or near Owen County, KY. Our DNA line is Hawkins Group #1. Here is a picture of my dad [standing] with his late sister and younger brother.




His son, Gerry, is the researcher who is connected to Gardner's yDNA results.  So while Gardner is now deceased, his genealogy is alive and well.  Here is a link to some information from Jerry about Gardner:
