Family Group #1

I am not sure if this is Bret in the photo? Bret I have lost your e-mail address will look for it soon

Kenneth Hawkins posted a comment to another blog post on this site that grabbed ,my attention. Kenneth has done yDNA testing and he does match family group #1. His comment was that his son looked a bit like Bret Hawkins. I thought it would be fun to compare the two photos. Here is Kenneth's son:

I can not find a quick photo of Bret....so I'll get back to this ....but Kenneth sent me some more information about his family line that I don't want to loose so I'll add it before I quit for the day.

Here is information for Kenneth's family:

My great great grandfather was James C. Hawkins from Lawrence county Alabama. He was born in 1838 and was married to Artimissa Barbee, the daughter of James Barbee a captain the War of 1812. I think Barbee may have received a land grant for his military service in Alabama.

Their children are names as follows:

JOSEPH B HAWKINS B: 1867
James W -HAWKINS B: 1854
Henrietta Hawkins B: 1850
Reuben T Hawkins B: 1852
Sarah Laurenia Hawkins B: 1856
Mary Elizabeth Hawkins B: 1850
Ida Blanch -HAWKINS B: 1858
Willie Hawkins B: 1868
John B Hawkins B: 1855
Francis Hawkins B: 1847
Joseph Branon Hawkins

My grandfather was Joseph Branon Hawkins. He died in McNairy County Tennessee and his grave stone can be seen at the the Pleasant Hill Cemetery site.
The names are similar to others on this blog, but there is no listing for the parents of James C Hawkins.

here is the find a grave link for Joseph Branon Hawkins

Hawkins DNA

I hope that this blog will be a place for researchers who have interest in the Hawkins surname can chat and present thoughts about the particular line of Hawkins families that they look at.

Phil Hawkins maintains a wonderful website that you do not want to miss!

http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~hawkinsdnaproject/genealogy/tree_g-1.html

I think that you will find Phil’s site more organized and easier to navigate than a blog tends to be. However, use the search box on this blog to zero in on posts that are about your DNA group. I will try to label each post with the DNA group that is being discussed unless I think that it is a post that is relevant to everyone.

This blog is not meant to replace Phil's site. This blog is more like Phil's more informal newsletter where you are invited to chat about ideas you have about your Hawkins research regardless of which DNA group you match.

I also encourage you to read the archived messages on the Hawkins mail list. Better yet, you may want to subscribe if you are not already a subscriber. The Hawkins mail list is a rootsweb mail list and has the advantage that many people read the posts and that all of the posts are archived and are fully searchable. I personally have made contact with many people who have given me a great deal of help with my own Hawkins line through that mail list. I do not mean for the blog to replace the mail list either. Instead I mean for this blog to enhance the mail list as I can place photos and maps and illustrations on the blog that give more meaning to the mail list posts. Rootweb mail lists can not accept photos, maps nor illustrations.

Please send me anything that you would want to share with the world about your own Hawkins DNA group. This can include your research that you would want to share. It can include questions that you would want to ask. I will work on this little by little for the next year. Please be patient. I am just like you. I have limited time. I have great interest, but my non-genealogical life limits what I can accomplish. If we find that this format is not helpful, we'll try something else.

I welcome your input! I welcome your criticism! I welcome any editing that you can do for me! Send me your ideas, and we'll work on them together! Many of you are already my good buddies. I look forward to your help in continuing the hard work that Phil has done so far.
