Hawkins Family group #1

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.

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.
