If anyone else is working on Hawkins in New England(Abraham Hawkins in particular) I'd be glad to hear from you, please write Maurice.

6.George W. Hawkins married Mary Elizabeth Gifford (Campbell?) abt 1880;they are on the 1880 Mason Co Kentucky census. They both are mentioned in a deed dated Nov 1897 also in Mason Co. Ky. I have 2 children listed for Mary Elizabeth, Ellie Campbell b abt 1866 and George W. Campbell b abt 1868. I find this interesting that there is a child named George but as far as I can tell Mary Elizabeth was still married to James Campbell in 1868. George Hawkins was born Mar 4 1846, d Oct 8 1915 in Mason Co Ky. Death certificate has his parents as Elijah Hawkins and Presalla(spelling ?) Columbia.Would appreciate any additional information on this line. Please write Mary Swearingin.

11.My Hawkins line goes back to William and Cena thru their son Wm Jefferson Hawkins who married Serepta Williams. Their daughter, Elizabeth was my greatgrandmother. We know that Wm J either died a tragic death or from an illness. That is all the family remembers of him. He died young at age 38 or so and Serepta remarried and had other children. We know about her, but not him and would like to know more about him and his parents. I know where they are buried and where we think he is buried. Sharon Rensberger
