I had spent several minutes answering a query from a woman who lives .....probably in London.....who has Hawkins maiden name. She has three brothers and a sister or two. Here was my answer to Sally:</p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">Great to hear from you, Sally. This is a good time of year to ask about dna tests as there are always sales at Christmas. I have no way of knowing how much you know….but there are three kinds of dna testing that one can do: yDNA, autosomal, and mtDNA. If you are a beginner with usual questions, you do not need to buy mtDNA as it is the dna passed from mother to all of her children….thus the surname changes with each generation as a woman usually gives her children the surname of their father.</span><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">yDNA is offered from only one company at this time for genealogy purposes….that is FTDNA. It is the dna passed from father to son and only males can take the test because only males have yDNA.</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">Everyone can do autosomal testing. There are five major companies and each has different bells and whistles. Ancestry has the largest data base and their bells and whistles are pretty wonderful…..however, they do not tell you on which chromosome your match matches you nor which segment. However, you can upload your Ancestry results to gedmatch to get that information for free. MyHeritage probably has the next biggest data base and they do not only give you which chromosome and which segment ….they do some triangulation for you as well. FTDNA calls their autosomal test Family Finder and it is quite good, but not as large of a data base. I have used 23 and me very little….I did test there but have very little experience so am not a good source of information. And Living DNA has a few bells and whistles that the others don’t offer. Last year they let me buy an inexpensive test that told me about my Viking ancestors which I found fascinating!</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">Here is a link to the Black Friday deals: <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-dna-testing-kits">https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-dna-testing-kits</a></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">However, I suggest that you go to their sites for the prices being offered today. And I highly recommend going to you tube and watching a few videos. Ancestry’s spokesperson is the Barefoot genealogist, Christa Cowan. FTDNA has made their own videos that can be found on you tube….as has MyHeritage….The videos are really helpful. </div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">Our project is ongoing. (This would be the Hawkins yDNA surname project for which I am adminstrator that she was asking about) I suggest that you test one of your brothers….Choose the one most likely to have absolute assurance that he is the son of your father. 37 marker test is quite likely to be adequate to show if there are other Hawkins males who your family connects to….if you are going together and budget is not an issue, go for the 111 marker or Big Y. You may not be ready to interpret the extras that you get, but it is possible that you will get extra information. </div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">I maintain a blog site for our group. It is a kind of easy newsletter format that lets others share information with the world….</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><a href="http://hawkinsdna.blogspot.com/">http://hawkinsdna.blogspot.com/</a></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><div class="apple-rich-link" data-url="http://hawkinsdna.blogspot.com/" draggable="true" role="link" style="-webkit-user-drag: element; -webkit-user-select: all; display: inline-block;"></div></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">Take a look. The search engine is excellent since it is hosted by google. I suggest that you geographical places and women’s maiden names to see if there are posts of interest to you.</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">FTDNA hosts a website:</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><div><div class="apple-rich-link" data-url="https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/hawkins/about/background" draggable="true" role="link" style="-webkit-user-drag: element; -webkit-user-select: all; display: inline-block;"></div></div><a href="https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/hawkins/about/background">https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/hawkins/about/background</a></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">Then I would buy at least one autosomal test…if you are paying, I would do the test for you….I can not tell you which place to do this testing, but if your budget allows, I would personally buy at Ancestry, FTDNA and MyHeritage…..A google search using these three names as search subject will show the price being offered today. If your siblings are interested and willing to buy tests, buy from different companies so that you get as much information as possible. You are relatively sure that each of you will match each other and you can use your siblings test to look around at each of the sites. </div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">Let me know if you have more questions. marsha hawkins moses</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><p> </p>marshamoseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12638321623337798500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385252747351023559.post-75593288790953152792023-09-02T11:46:00.004-07:002023-09-04T10:24:49.883-07:00John Hawkins of Elk River, Maryland/Family group #5<p>Bob Hawkins who is a participant who connects to family group #5 prepared a paper that he has graciously consented to allow me publish on this blog site. In this paper Bob identifies and clarifies the connection of John Hawkins of New England, Mariner to John Hawkins of Elk River, Maryland and explains that he can find no connection between John Hawkins of New England, Mariner with John Hawkins who was a Quaker of West River who lived in Ann Arundel County. These two men with name John Hawkins who lived in Maryland appear to be separate men.

When I agreed to be administrator, I told Phil that I had not even managed to write one article for his newsletters every month. I knew that it was beyond my capabilities to produce an entire newsletter. There is a lot of excellent information in the newsletters! If you find time to browse and find articles about your own family group, I would love to add a link to that specific newsletter on to this blog site. Just send me a link to the article and I will try to add it with a title o family group so it can be easily accessed by others. This will be a kind of indexing project that we can all work on. </p><p>My e-mail is <a href="mailto:mosesm@earthlink.net">mosesm@earthlink.net</a></p><p>Here is the link to the home page for Phil's website.

Her father was James Edgar Hawkins, Jr. His father, of course, was James Edgar Hawkins, Sr. James Sr.’s father was William Louis Hawkins, b. 1820. William Louis was a judge of the Orphan Court and a Justice of the Peace in Ann Arundel County. James Sr was a grocer. He owned a grocery on Patapsco Street called Hawkins Market. But he owned the farm called Best Success in Anne Arundel County, MD, south of the Patapsco River. William married Leah Lee of Howard County, daughter of James Lee Jr. and Lethe Trundle Lee. </span></i> </p><p>So I would add a few maps and images to get my head organized on where this family was living. Anne Arundel County is outlined in dotted red line in below map. It is the land just south of what is now the city of Baltimore.

There are land records recording Best Success from 1683. Matthew Hawkins purchased 250 acres of Best Success in 1705 and deeded 90 acres to his brother, Joseph Hawkins, calling it Brother’s Kindness. Matthew’s Will gave the remaining 160 acres of Best Success to his four daughters, who subsequently sold it. In 1742 Joseph & Aaron Hawkins, sons of Matthew’s brother, Thomas, bought back the 160 acres, then in 1750 they purchased 90 acres. Now they owned all of Matthew’s original 250 acres. In 1753, Aaron and Joseph Hawkins along with Thomas Wright, purchased 600 additional acres of Best Success. 500 of those acres were owned by the Hawkins brothers, 100 to Wright. Here is where we lose the trail between them and my Aaron Hawkins b.1793. My thought is that we likely descend from Thomas Hawkins via one of Thomas’ sons since the farmhouse and some portion of the Best Success tract remained in the family until the 1990s.</span></i><span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 15pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #26282a;"> </span><span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 15pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;"><i><span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 14pt;">I am working on the theory that my missing generation(s) between the brothers Aaron & Joseph Hawkins and my Aaron Hawkins, will be found based on records involving the farmland, Best Success.

Best Success was on the South side of the Patapsco River. When my grandfather grew up, the area was known as Brooklyn. It is now part of Baltimore.

That is where most of my ancestors from this line are buried, including those disintered from the farm and reburied in Cedar Hill Cemetery.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I hope this helps with the location.</span></p></div><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><p></p><br /><p><br /></p>marshamoseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12638321623337798500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385252747351023559.post-44891820877631641122023-01-18T15:23:00.001-08:002023-01-18T15:23:20.952-08:00Hawkins in Bedford County<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhvLGJ89sXCWYlp1lOTxUpfxzA6FDXuUio7yhAfBq1k0KlMxKssQEE4x9mVpYpwqCMJs_EmrfAVV2ayoLUuRx3sxr7xIeDP_PiHZUvI5znzmZJSHbzTRS3UU-egecIjoWfyKKjhApEWv7TiWGTvSw-cxwuHzT8YOheAFm7BOPhIZ8_yjRo58RPu1KGUmw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="474" data-original-width="1366" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhvLGJ89sXCWYlp1lOTxUpfxzA6FDXuUio7yhAfBq1k0KlMxKssQEE4x9mVpYpwqCMJs_EmrfAVV2ayoLUuRx3sxr7xIeDP_PiHZUvI5znzmZJSHbzTRS3UU-egecIjoWfyKKjhApEWv7TiWGTvSw-cxwuHzT8YOheAFm7BOPhIZ8_yjRo58RPu1KGUmw=w640-h222" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Hawkins DNA Group #1 Possible Connections to Bedford County, VA</p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">A genealogy buddy of mine and I were chatting about the importance of looking at original documents. Transcriptions and reports are great for getting clues, but often there is much more to the story when one looks at the originals for oneself.</p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">My friend told me that the wife of one of her husband’s ancestors had been reported to have been Mary Cope. This lady’s ancestry had proved to be a dead end. On a trip to the VA library in Richmond, my friend found that the lady had actually been Mary Hawkins before her first (and very brief) marriage to William H. Cocke who was killed during the Civil War. Mary Cocke had then married George William Johnson in 1868 in Bedford County, Va. All of this was very clear upon looking at only one page of marriages for Bedford County for herself.</p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The Bedford County caught my attention as while I don’t seem to have any documentation for the Hawkins families found in Bedford County to be a part of DNA group #1, there are many guesses and premises that would point to that being the case. </p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">So here is the little bit that I know.

Dot’s best guess BEFORE this family lived in Buncombe County is Bedford County VA/ Campbell County (Campbell County was carved out of Bedford in 1781) A William Hawkins died in 1793 in Campbell County and his will lists all of his sons and 1 daughter for sure with the possibility of a second one. This William's wife was Mary (according to the will) and some say she was a Littleberry. The curious thing is that William's sons names appear in the Benjamin of Buncombe County family with 2 prominent uncommon names for Hawkins -- Robert and Littleberry. This William of Bedford County was born c1735 +/-, and that's about all we know about him at this time. </p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Kits #95267 and #11301 are Hawkins DNA group #1 matches. Both believe that they descend from a couple named John and Winnie Hawkins. John (b.1754) left a will in Henry County, Ky when he died in 1821. </p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">John and Winnie Hawkins had children who seem to have lived in Bedford County, VA. One son, William was married to Jane Bayne and the couple lived in Bedford before they moved to Craig County where this WIlliam died. </p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Another genealogy buddy of mine, Sara Powell, has Hawkins lines in Bedford County, VA as well. The name that connects to her that pops to my mind is Lucas Powell Hawkins. Sarah has indicated that she has no participant who has done DNA testing for this connection. My notes say that Lucas Powell Hawkins lived from 1803-1889. I have wondered if Lucas Powell Hawkins connects to the man that I call Thomas Hawkins of Old Rappahanock County, VA (1635-1677). Thomas Hawkins of Old Rappahanock County had a wife with maiden name Lucas. This family favored male names of William and Thomas.

He was the ancestor of many of the Hawkins lines that moved south and west, and was the maternal grandfather of Davy Crockett. [1] His mother Rebecca had been orphaned (with her older siblings) in 1705, and had lived since then with her paternal uncle Joseph Hawkins in Baltimore. [2] Rebecca was presumably unmarried at the time of Nathan's birth, as she is listed by full name, and his father's name is given in the church records simply as "John." [3] As a result, Nathan's parentage is not entirely clear, but previous research, especially by Jeanne Bornefeld, as well as the advent of yDNA relationship testing, has narrowed things down considerably. [4]<br /><div><br /></div><div><div><b>A "Double Hawkins"</b><br /></div><div><br /></div>In particular, Jeanne noted that "We have the male Hawkins line through the YDNA of Nathan's sons and his mother, Rebecca's, brother's male descendants." [5] This statement is somewhat unclear, but after discussion with Jeanne, she clarified that "[A] direct male descendant of Rebecca's brother, Matthew ... matches YDNA to Rebecca's son, Nathan," but that "I do not know the strength of relationship between Nathan and a male of Rebecca's kin, his father." [6]</div><div><br /></div><div>If the yDNA of his descendants matches that of his uncle Matthew, then Nathan's unknown father was also part of Hawkins Family Group #5, and thus a first- or second-generation descendant of John Hawkins I, "Mariner of New England" (died 1675 O.S., Anne Arundel County, Maryland). [7]</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Candidates for Nathan's Father</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Because Nathan's father has to have been a descendant of John Hawkins I, the list of potential candidates is short. John I is known to have had 5 sons: John II, Matthew, Augustine, Joseph, and Thomas. All together, there are 13 known male descendants of John Hawkins I through the second generation. [8] Of those, 6 can be ruled out immediately as they either were already dead, or were too young at the time of Nathan's conception (abt. Feb 1722) to have been his father.<br /></div><ul><li>John II (uncle, also called John Sr.): roughly 60yo, living either in Anne Arundel County or Baltimore County<br /></li><ul><li>John III (cousin, also called John Jr.): about 28yo, living in St George's Parish, northeastern Baltimore County<br /></li><li><strike>Joseph (cousin): was only ~10yo in Feb 1722</strike></li></ul><li><strike>Matthew (father): died in 1705</strike></li><ul><li>Matthew (half-brother): about 28yo, living in Baltimore County<br /></li><li>Augustine (brother): about 20yo, whereabouts unknown<br /></li></ul><li><strike>Augustine (uncle): died in 1700</strike></li><ul><li><strike>had only daughters</strike></li></ul><li><strike>Thomas (uncle): died in 1715</strike></li><ul><li>Aaron (cousin): was ~16yo in Feb 1722, prob. living in Anne Arundel County<br /></li><li>Joseph (cousin): was ~14yo in Feb 1722, prob. living in Anne Arundel County</li></ul><li>Joseph (uncle): about 47yo; Rebecca was living at his house in Baltimore<br /></li><ul><li><strike>John (cousin): was ~8yo in Feb 1722</strike></li><li><strike>Augustine (cousin): was only 1yo in Feb 1722</strike></li></ul></ul><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Speculation</b><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>None of the other candidates can be conclusively ruled in or out based on either age or location, as they all seem to have been living within about 30 miles of Baltimore, where Rebecca was living with her uncle Joseph. Recalling that the Maryland Births and Christenings database listed Nathan's father simply as "John" (see Note 3), there are two possibilities:</div><div><br /></div><ol><li>If the database is accurate, then Nathan's father must have been either Rebecca's cousin John III/John Jr., or perhaps less probably, his father John II/John Sr.</li><li>If the database is wrong, and "John" was just a random name, then Rebecca's uncle Joseph is probably the most likely candidate, as the two were living in the same household. One of her brothers could be Nathan's father -- it was after all a descendant of her half-brother Matthew whose yDNA provided the match for Nathan's descendants -- but (purely subjectively) that seems less likely than for Rebecca to have become pregnant by her uncle. In any event, Rebecca's cousins Aaron and Joseph seem the least likely options, as they were both the youngest, and lived the farthest away.</li></ol><div><br /></div><div><b>Summary</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Nathan Hawkins's father was a close relative of his mother, Rebecca Hawkins, and was one of 7 men, all descendants of John Hawkins I the Mariner. Any specific identification is speculation unless and until yDNA can conclusively establish that one male line is a stronger match to Nathan's descendants than the others.</div><div><br /></div><b>Notes:</b><div><br /></div><div>[1] Robert W.

He is a clear match to Phil Hawkins. Phil is the reason we now have a Hawkins yDNA project! He started our project and has maintained the website since the first days of yDNA....back in the days when we could only test 12 or 25 markers. </p><p>Family Group #4 consisted of a hardworking, serious, family members. I spent many hours looking at them before the yDNA confirmed that they were not matches to my own family group #1. But I do a lot of Quaker research and often Phil's Hawkins line was living quite close to one of my Quaker families.

About the same time two of Gregory’s cousins, William H Hawkins b. 1749 and Thomas Hawkins b. 1745 moved the same area in Pennsylvania. They were the founders of the "Hawkins Church" near Brownsville, Pennsylvania. Gregory and his cousins, William and Thomas, were grandsons of Robert Hawkins Sr. b. 1691 d. 1761. <p></p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7HTcFa2LDTFYBB-thJ-2E2w8lPo6qTWzRgWn9twI_5cBjHYGsZhsF5SO8A2XZ2yrMaLgNrNoUlrY41wAHpO_yfYvo-59useg8XRiu8eKkI8VRHJYmJNlreyjbHYEioGxo_LXqHXprehIm/s1606/Screen+Shot+2021-05-05+at+3.37.45+PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1606" data-original-width="1504" height="696" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7HTcFa2LDTFYBB-thJ-2E2w8lPo6qTWzRgWn9twI_5cBjHYGsZhsF5SO8A2XZ2yrMaLgNrNoUlrY41wAHpO_yfYvo-59useg8XRiu8eKkI8VRHJYmJNlreyjbHYEioGxo_LXqHXprehIm/w653-h696/Screen+Shot+2021-05-05+at+3.37.45+PM.png" width="653" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />The writer of this story, Alan Arthur Hawkins b. 1944, who is a descendant of William Henry "Robert" Hawkins, has 5 DNA matches with individuals having ancestry going back to Gregory Farmer Hawkins and 15 DNA Matches with individuals with ancestry going back to Robert Hawkins Sr b. 1691. This Robert Hawkins Sr. b. 1691 is the great grandfather of William Henry "Robert" Hawkins b. 1766. William's father, Gregory, remained in Pennsylvania until about 1799. He then moved to Kentucky. William Henry "Robert" Hawkins resided in Pennsylvania until about 1803 or shortly after the death of his wife, Cassandra in 1802. William H. Hawkins b. 1749, who was married to Cassandra Wells, remained in Pennsylvania until about 1790. He and some of his older sons went to Ohio where they prepared for the arrival of the rest of the family who arrived sometime later. Because William Henry "Robert" Hawkins and William H Hawkins had similar names, and whose wives were named Cassandra, and both being involved with the Methodist Church, some of their historical events and records have been intermingled. A brief account of the "Hawkins Church" is given as an example. Even though William H Hawkins b. 1749 was the founder of the "Hawkins Church", many historians have credited William Henry "Robert" Hawkins b. with the event. William H Hawkins b. 1749 acquired a 95-acre farm by means of a work contract with Jacob White of Centerville Borough, Washington County, Pennsylvania from 1783 to 1788. On June 9, 1790 William H Hawkins b. 1749 and Cassandra Wells sold the 94 acres to William Taylor for 140 Pounds. They also deeded a 1-acre plot containing the church building to the Methodist trustees. These events took place at the time of William H Hawkins' move to Ohio where their descendants lived and prospered. William Henry "Robert" Hawkins, while living in Pennsylvania, married Cassandra Roberts in about 1785. They had eight children together. After Cassandra Roberts died in 1802 following the birth of Isaiah Hawkins b. 1802, William took his eight children, together with his sister Ruth, and moved to Mongolia, Virginia. He then married Catherine Brumage and they had three children together. Catherine died in 1814 after giving birth to Josiah L Hawkins b. 1814. William remarried in 1816 and had two sons and two daughters with Martha Snodgrass. Martha died in 1841. Martha is buried next to William Henry "Robert" Hawkins in Minister's Cemetery 1.6 miles up Ministers Run Road (County Road 25/26) from Baxter on Moses Cox farm. This cemetery was cleared by Harry Denzil Hawkins who left it in good condition in about 1988.

The book from which I took the cover page and a page about the Walker family was "Our Kin": The genealogies of some of the early families who made history in the founding and development of Bedford County, Virginia by Mary Denham Ackerly and Lulu Eastman Jeter Parker. <br />
<br />
I took about 20 minutes to browse through the book and copied the following information:<br />
<br />
William Hawkins was the first Hawkins to come to Bedford. He arrived in Campbell County in 1793. <br />
<br />
His will mentions wife Mary and children William, Littleberry, Robert, Joseph, Benjamin, James, Mildred Hicks.<br />
<br />
Son, Robert, died in Bedford in 1820. He married Nancy Fourqueran 30 Dec 1794.<br />
<br />
My additions to the information above from this book are:<br />
<br />
This is Dot's family. Dot's husband descended from Benjamin in the list of children above. Benjamin was married to Hannah. He moved his family to the area of NC that is now a part of the Biltmore estate. There is some thought that this family group connects to the orphan William. The orphans of John and Elizabeth Hawkins were getting fairly old when this William arrived in Bedford County if they were not already deceased. I am not clear on who this family group would connect to William the orphan. marshamoseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12638321623337798500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385252747351023559.post-42206684370576470582019-08-15T17:40:00.001-07:002019-08-15T17:40:29.721-07:00Hawkins Family group #1<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSSRuorm312h4cLl9eq8IFOhxETX1WNvyBOhoyV8JT7ORzaqZy5SN3nSAdio_cuGtGpUJ5_ECWPfU2wTaGE4DgGl6F84eunqNqMV8pz9mFUqK29cPaXcY-jePwesYcc8XXO84-VTxMmGkE/s1600/58842375_10219145775938290_83998977510342656_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSSRuorm312h4cLl9eq8IFOhxETX1WNvyBOhoyV8JT7ORzaqZy5SN3nSAdio_cuGtGpUJ5_ECWPfU2wTaGE4DgGl6F84eunqNqMV8pz9mFUqK29cPaXcY-jePwesYcc8XXO84-VTxMmGkE/s640/58842375_10219145775938290_83998977510342656_o.jpg" width="480" /></a>We have a subgroup of Family group #1 that I have begun to call the Short Mountain group of Tennessee. These are Hawkins lines that were likely originally from the Northern Neck of Virginia.....moving up the Rappahanock River in the early to mid 1700s into the area around Orange and Culpeper Counties. Then moving to Madison County Kentucky. And finally moving to the area in Tennessee near Warren, DeKalb, and Cannon Counties. Some of them, of course, moved on after a generation or two. But most of them have a connection to TN.<br />
<br />
Bret Hawkins still lives close to this area and has been involved in maintaining the cemetery of his ancestors. He just sent some great photos of his buddies and him working on this project. After the photos I have a few links to some other blog posts about this group.<br />

Deane left a couple of comments on a blog post that I had written recently. Instead of answering the comments, I am going to start a new blog post about Hawkins family group #1 and Barnes connections. I hope to write it with the help of Joanna, Jim Barnes, Sandi Vaught, and Patrick Hawkins. And anyone else who wants to chime in is very welcome!<br />
<br />
So first fact is that Joanna and Jim Barnes and Patrick Hawkins are all autosomal dna matches. I have not checked to see if their matches are all on the same segment of the same chromosome yet of if they are matches to each other but not in the same spot. I will add that information when we have figured that out. <br />
<br />
Joanna sent me some Hawkins/Barnes marriages that she found on Family Search:<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: small;">There are also some more Hawkins/Barnes marriages in the below screen shot from Milly Farmer's book.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<br />
Joanna also sent me a marriage that I had seen before that is of interest to this blog post:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The original evidence is John Hawkins and Milly Barnes marriage bond (original found on </span><a href="http://familysearch.org/" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">familysearch.org</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">) in Mercer Co KY. Reuben Boston posted bond and signed with John on Dec 3 1808. Feilden (Fielding) Barnes and Reuben Boston appeared before the Justice of the Peace and made an oath that Milla (Milly) Barnes, daughter of William Barnes is 21 years old.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
My own personal research indicates that Reuben Boston was married to one of Benjamin and Nancy/Ann Bourne Hawkins' daughters. Reuben signed the document in which each of the heirs of Benjamin gave up their part of the land that was inherited by the group of children in return for $2000. I believe that he was signing for his wife's part of the inheritance. I believe that Reuben was married to daughter, Sarah. Fielding Barnes was married to Benjamin and Ann/Nancy's daughter, Elizabeth when the above marriage took place. Fielding died young in 1810 according to other researchers. <br />
<br />
So we know who the men were and how they were related to the Hawkins line in the above. But which John Hawkins is it that is marrying Milly Barnes in 1808? Most of the children of Benjamin and Ann/Nancy Bourne Hawkins were born 1769 to 1785. I think that many of us have assumed that the son of Benjamin and Ann/Nancy Bourne Hawkins who had name John was John B. Hawkins (and that likely the B. stood for Bourne). What do we know about John B. Hawkins? He first married Mahala Randolph in Culpeper County in 1795. That is a good date for marriage for one of the older children of Benjamin and Ann/Nancy. He second married Ann Ford. After his marriage to Ann Ford in 1812, he and Ann moved to Kentucky where they had perhaps six children. It is definitely NOT John B. Hawkins! He is not in Kentucky in 1808. Is the John Hawkins marrying Milly Barnes a grandson of Benjamin and Ann/Nancy Bourne Hawkins? And it is his two uncles who are named in the marriage above...or an uncle and his father? Or perhaps the idea that John B. Hawkins is the son of Benjamin and Ann/Nancy Bourne Hawkins is not correct. John B. is said to have died in Owen County Kentucky which is not next door to Mercer County where Benjamin and Ann/Nancy Bourne Hawkins died.<br />
<br />
Joanna says about her John Hawkins: <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 18px;">John who married Milly Barnes and is Vardimans father was born in 1787 in Virginia and died between the 1860 and 1870 census. I think he is a son of Benjamin and Nancy Ann borne and the brother of Abraham. I’m thinking Abraham was born in 1776? </span><br />

I find that in my VERY unproven data base, I have attributed this group to the orphan William and given him wife, Mary Margaret Smith. Then the son of this couple as Elisha who is named above. Dot Hawkins and her daughter believe that they descend from the orphan William Hawkins<br />
<br />
Note: when I use the term orphan in talking about Hawkins family group #1, I am talking about the generation born in the early 1700s who are named in the will of John Hawkins who died in what was probably an epidemic c. 1715 in Richmond County, Virginia:<br />

Here is Jeanne's answer to the question posed about the relationship of Family group #5 and Sarah Hawkins Sevier:<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
You ask about Group # 5 Hawkins relationship to Sarah Hawkins Sevier. There is no relationship.</div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
John Hawkins, Mariner of New England came with the Winthrop Fleet,1630. He was born ca 1599/1600. He immigrated into Maryland in 1651. He was a mariner and was in and out of Maryland many times. He died by 17 March 1675. He wrote his will 3 Feb 1670 and it was in 1676, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, when his relatives, Robert Franklyn and Walter Carr, signed the appraisal of his earthly goods.. When he lived in Maryland, he was always in Anne Arundel County on the Patapsco River where it runs into the Bay under the Chesepeake Bridge. He was an early Quaker in Maryland and they met at first at William Richardson's house, and later at West River. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
He first married in New England. She was a widow who died. No children from that marriage. She brought a son into the marriage. John Hawkins signed all property over to her son that she brought in to the marriage when she died and he left Mass. He married 2nd to Mary. I have not been able to identify Mary. John and Mary had: John, Augustine, Matthew, Anne, Joseph, and Thomas - not in birth order. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I descend from Matthew who married 1st Ann Parrish; and, 2nd Mary Parrish. Both women were daughters of Edward Parrish. Matthew and Ann had: Anne, b 1693; Matthew, b 1694.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Matthew and Mary had: Mary, b 1697, Dinah, b 1699, Augustine, b 1702, and Rebecca, b 1704. Matthew wrote his will in 1705 and died shortly after. Matthew wanted his brother, Thomas, to raise his children, as Mary had predeceased him. Thomas declined and Joseph raised his children.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Rebecca Hawkins appears to have grown up in Joseph's household. She conceived a son, Nathan, who was born 16 Nov 1722, Baltimore County, Maryland. He died in Sullivan County, N. C. His estate settlement was1781-1783. The estate settlements are bundled together in that time period. He married Ruth Cole in Baltimore County, MD on 14 Feb 1744 at St. Paul's Church, Baltimore Co., MD. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Nathan's and Ruth's children were born in MD. Nathan and his son, Aaron, both signed a petition to move the county seat of Baltimore from Old Joppa to Baltimore Town. By the very early 1770's, Nathan, Aaron, and another son, Matthew, are in the VA Colonial Government Records as having served under David Looney in the Fincastle County Militia. These records are in the Virginia State Library.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We have the male Hawkins line through the YDNA of Nathan's sons and his mother, Rebecca's, brother's male descendants. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div>

Children out of marriage of Nathan Hawkins and Ruth Cole, both of Baltimore County, Maryland:</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Aaron, b MD, served in the Fincastle County, Virginia Militia during Lord Dunmore's War in the Valley of Virginia under David Looney. He owned land in Sullivan and Washington Counties, NC/TN. He married Margaret Stonecypher. Aaron died during the Rev War in the late 1770's- early1780's. Matthew took Aaron's widowed wife, Margaret, and her children, his own wife and their children, and several neighbors and friends to Greeneville, SC (the Upcountry) for safety under King George. Where they stayed until 1799, when they started meandering back up to Knox Co and the environs.</div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Matthew, b MD, served in the Fincastle County, Virginia Militia during Lord Dunmore's War under David Looney. The abovementioned Matthew left E. TN. for the Yellow Banks (Owensborough, KY) in 1817, where he stayed until ca 1824 when he left for land in Fountain Co IN. However, he died on Honey Creek Prairie in Vigo County, <a href="http://in.ca/">IN.ca</a> 1814. His wife continued on up to Fountain Co with many of the same people who had originally gone to SC earlier.</div>

Rebecca, b MD, m John Crockett, and they lived on Limestone Branch of Lick Creek, Washington Co., TN. They are the parents of "Davy Crockett". (As a sidelight - Davy Crockett and his mother's brother's son, Aaron Hawkins, s/o Matthew abovementioned, both fought under Jackson - thought by his men to be a poor leader. Janaluska - a respected leader, led the battle at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, in 1814. They were stationed at Fort Strother on the Coosa River in Alabama. It was part of the 1812 War- aka the Creek Indian War. Loyalties were not set in stone.) </div>

<br />
<b>My first ancestor to come here from Devon, England was John Hawkins, Jr. He was born in 1633 and died in 1676. I have been trying to find a possible connection to Sarah Hawkins Sevier, wife of Tennessee's first governor, John Sevier. I am told she was also related to Rebecca Hawkins Crockett, other of David "Davy" Crockett. I have found that I am a descendant of the same line as Benjamin Hawkins who is buried at Biltmore Estate, but have not yet connected him to the others. </b><br />

There are so many ideas on this paragraph that I wanted to be able to make comments and links and also give any of you reading this the chance to make your own comments. Please send me any comments that you would want to add to: mosesm@earthlink.net<br />
I will add them to this post or to this blog site.<br />
<br />
So I would comment that the Benjamin Hawkins who is buried at the Biltmore Estate is connected to family group #1. That is the same group that my father's yDNA is a part of. Most of us in this group believe that we connect back to John and Elizabeth Butler Hawkins who seem to have died in an epidemic c. 1715 in Richmond County, Virginia. This was a part of the Northern Neck of Virginia. There is not proof that I know of that Elizabeth's maiden name was Butler. However, John's will infers that she was the sister to two Butler men as he asks these men to care for his orphans in his death bed will. We do have a member of family group #1 whose family never left England and he still lives in London.<br />
<br />
I have written many posts about this family line on both the Hawkins DNA blog that you are on right now and also my own private blog site:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://marshamoses.blogspot.com/">http://marshamoses.blogspot.com</a><br />
<br />
I suggest that you use search words such as Northern Neck and Hawkins to pull these posts up to read. <br />
<br />
More than 10 years ago, Dot Hawkins and I chatted about the Biltmore graves. She was a part of a celebration at the time that the Biltmore put on for the small cemetery on their property that the Biltmore actually maintains. Dot sent photos for the newsletter. I tried to pull this up this morning without luck. Phil and I will work on doing this and when we are successful, I'll do something to make this even accessible.<br />
<br />
No one that I know of claims Sarah Hawkins Sevier in family group #1. But you are correct that family group #5 claims Rebecca Hawkins Crockett who was Davey's mother.<br />
<br />
We have several researchers who have lots of good information on family group #5. One of them is Jeanne Bornefeld. I asked her to comment on your question. You will find her comment at:<br />

<a href="https://hawkinsdna.blogspot.com/2019/06/family-group-5.html">https://hawkinsdna.blogspot.com/2019/06/family-group-5.html</a><br />
<br />
Jeanne suggested that Sarah Hawkins Sevier who was the mother of John Sevier is from the same group from which Benjamin Hawkins who married Martha Borden connects. My notes say that this is Hawkins family group #7. I have written several blog posts about this family group. Find them by using Family group #7 in the search box on the blog site.<br />
