In my grandmother's Hawkins family bible- they only refer to this area as Short Mountain. ) in TN. My grandfather was Willie Richard Hawkins from Short Mountain ( Cannon county ), his father was Joseph Irvine Hawkins born Feb, 1847 in Warren county, died 1919 in Cannon county, and is buried in Dekalb county. His father was Joseph T. Hawkins born July 1810 in Warren County ( McMinnville is in Warren County not to be confused with McMinn county- they are not related. My Hawkins family lived in McMinnville in Warren county ). He died in Aug 1868 in Warren county and is buried in Dekalb county. You can walk from Short Mountain in Cannon county to the Dekalb county line in a matter of minutes. I have photos of me and 2 Hawkins cousins, William Ray Hawkins of TN and Nolan Hawkins of Texas, standing next to our great grandparents ( Joseph Irvine Hawkins and Florence Elizabeth Burger Hawkins ) grave in Melton Cemetery, Dekalb county. I do not know who Joseph T. Hawkins's father was. Hope someone can help me! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14994179989622984409noreply@blogger.com
