I encourage you to submit a rejoinder to any error in fact that you see in these reproduced pages.

Please note the addition of the South African flag in our masthead, signifying the addition of a new participant born there.

Check out the genealogy wiki at http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Main_Page. VERY interesting. If you have added anything there, please contact me with what you did.

We need to have an Assistant Administrator for each of our Family groups. It is just no longer possible for me to provide the attention to the individual family groups as I have tried to in the past. It is not necessary that the Group Administrator be a testing participant, just a keen interest in advancing the knowledge within their family group. The family Groups that we have identifed that do not have a leader are 03, 06, 09, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, and 21. Your help is needed. Please contact me. Phil

Genealogy Gems: News from the Fort Wayne Library, No. 95, January 31, 2012

[WHY, Phillip, are you including these “Office” how-to tips in a genealogy newsletter? I know a lot of you are raising that question every time you open the newsletter. The answer - When I transitioned from Office 2003 direct to 2010 I was lost. I am a pretty smart feller, so I knew that there were other lost souls out there in newsletter land. So, I’m helpin.]

Technology Tip of the Month--The Microsoft Word 2010 Ribbon: Mailings and Review Tabs by Kay Spears.

Let’s look at the Mailings tab first. There are three tools of interest on this tab: Envelopes, Labels and Mail Merge. I will describe the first two here: Envelopes and Labels. Both of these are fairly simple tools.

Envelopes: When the Envelopes dialog box is open, you will notice boxes labeled “Delivery address” and “Return address." All you need do is enter the correct addresses in each box and print. However, if you are using an envelope with a return address already printed on it, you will want to leave the return address box blank or make sure the “Omit” box is checked. To change the size of the envelope, select “Options.”

Labels: First, open the Labels dialog box, go to “Options,” select the kind of label you will be printing, 1 and click “OK.” The Labels dialog box will return. If you are printing only one label, enter the “Address,” then select “Single label” and the appropriate “Row” and “Column” in the “Print” box. If you want to print an entire sheet of labels with the same address, enter the “Address,” then select “Full page of the same label” in the “Print” box. If you want to print an entire sheet of labels, each with a different address, click on “New Document.” This will open an entire page of blank labels on which you may enter addresses. Or, you may use Mail Merge instead. I will cover mail merges in the next article.

Now, let’s look at the Review tab. This is where Microsoft has located the Proofing tools most often used in reviewing documents. Included are Spelling and Grammar, Research, Thesaurus, and Word Count. The Review tab also contains a Tracking tool, which I suggest that you use sparingly. While this tool may help you keep track of changes, sometimes it can create confusion and frustration for the person who will be receiving your document. Next month: The Microsoft Word 2010 Ribbon: The Joys of Mail Merge

The following was an ISOOG post by Ann Turner. I did read it and thought some of you would have an interest. The article is entitled, “The scientists behind Mitochondrial Eve tell us about the "lucky mother" who changed human evolution forever”

This is an interview with two of the scientists who published the article in Science, January 1987 (Rebecca Cann and Mark Stoneking; Allan Wilson died in 1991). When you read about the tools they had at their disposal, it was quite a tour de force.

Hawkins Family Group-01 (Group Administrator is Marsha Moses, [email protected].) http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hawkinsdnaproject/tree_g-1.html#Group-01

It is with great sadness that the Hawkins DNA group #1 reports the death of Hawkins DNA Participant #11301. James Robert Hawkins The last photo is the Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary of James and Juanita Edward Hawkins. Back row died 18 (standing) are: sister-in-law Aline Edwards Pruet (1923-2009) and her husband Woodfin Pruet (1915- December 2011. 2003); brother Jefferson Hawkins (1922-2008); sister Carolyn Hawkins Palmer (1931-2004); sister Betty He was born on Hawkins Norton (1927-2007) and her husband Robert Norton (1916-2011); widow of brother Don, 15 February Jean Hamblin Hawkins (1925-2004). Front row (sitting) are: widow of brother Bill, Bea McAteer (1931- 1918 the sixth 2010); James Hawkins (1915-2011) and his bride of fifty years Juanita Edwards Hawkins (1918-2001); and wife of brother Jeff in the back row, Elizabeth Stewart Hawkins (1924-2010). child (twelve 2 total) of Clara B Lewis (1886-1968) and Harry Wilmer Hawkins (1883-1966) in Birmingham, Alabama. An older brother, Clifford Wilmer, died as an infant before age one. James was gravely underweight as a young child. With the constant care of his mother and three older sisters, James grew to adulthood in the Fairview and Glen Iris neighborhoods of Birmingham. James graduated from Ramsey High School and was mechanically inclined. He enlisted as a marine early in WWII serving as a plane mechanic for much of the war, including the Black Sheep Squadron made famous by Pappy Boyington. In the midst of the war in the Pacific, his sweetheart Juanita Edwards traveled to Los Angeles to stay at a "Women's" hotel for one night. The next day the couple was married at City Hall, Los Angeles. Building their home with his own hands in Forestdale (then county), Jimmy and Juanita raised five children who all remain in the Birmingham area: Dr. Don (Kathy) Hawkins, Suzi Hawkins, Becky Hawkins Usher, Paul (Theresa) Hawkins, and John Hawkins. After the war Jim worked for Southern Railroad and then Northern Southern as a fireman and later Jimmy, Clara, Harry, & Jeff – WW II engineer. He engineered both steam and diesel locomotives. The last steam locomotive moved in Alabama from a train yard to a museum yard, was driven by James Hawkins, selected for his long time service and knowledge about those trains. His youngest son, John, follows in his father's footsteps at the railroad. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife of over fifty years, Juanita Edwards Hawkins (1918-2001), and all five of his brothers and six of his sisters and their spouses (two died as children Clifford (1909-1911) and Marian(1920-1928)), The six remaining children of Harry & Clara Stanley (Lillian Copeland) Hawkins (1911- Hawkins at sister Marjorie’s funeral in 1986. 1976), Jefferson (Elizabeth Stewart) Hawkins (1922-2008), Donald (Jean Hamblin) Hawkins (1924-1989), William (Bea McAteer) Hawkins (1929-1979), Dorothy Hawkins (1907- 1990), Ruth (Bill) Hawkins Shively (1913-1980), Margie (Summers) Hawkins Needham (1915-1986), Betty (Robert) Hawkins Norton (1927-2007), and Carolyn Hawkins Palmer (1931-2004), all originally of Birmingham.

Hawkins Family Group-02 (Group Administrator is Bob Hawkins, [email protected]) (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hawkinsdnaproject/tree_g-1.html#Group-02)

Our earliest ancestor is William Hawkins of Orange County, VA. Other lines in successive generations are: Jehu Dyer, Burton, Bluford and Joseph Ferguson. As of the date of submission of this article we are unable to link any of the different lines in our group. We also have a new participant with the name of Kirkpatrick that matches us on 37 of 37 markers. In all of the Hawkins groups that participate we probably have more issues than any of them. I have scanned many records trying to link at least one line with no success. Many records still need to be scanned for that magic link. For us DNA testing could be the answer, but we need participants to step up. FT-DNA has run many specials, but participants are not stepping up. Please encourage Hawkins descendents to get tested.

3 Hawkins Family Group-04 (My, your editor’s, family group, [email protected].): Earliest known common ancestors are Jeffery and Dorothy (Mattock) Hawkins, emigrating from Wilts, England in 1682 to Bucks Co., PA. (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hawkinsdnaproject/tree_g-1.html#Group-04)

We have a new participant, 221141, in our family line. He is a descendent of James Andrew Jackson Hawkins, a son of Jonathan, son of Isaac, son of James and Martha (Hollowell). He has been entered in our data table at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hawkinsdnaproject/tree_g-1.html#Group- 04, and a personal section has been created at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hawkinsdnaproject/tree_g-1.html#221141.

He is the first from Isaac’s branch to test. I think that I was a bit surprised that he tested at 13 alleles on Marker 09 (DYS 439). I was rather expecting a 14. We badly need a couple more testing participants to confirm that number.

Please check over the following tree. If you see an error, or can provide additional data on Isaac’s line, please contact me.

This seems to connect the Hawkins’, at least to me. It appears that since son of Zachariah, John, moved to KY from Halifax Co. VA that possibly Zachariah & family may have moved after he & Elizabeth sold their land on Sandy Creek in 1765

Hawkins Family Group-14 (Group Administrator is Dolores Hawkins Whitaker, [email protected].) (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hawkinsdnaproject/tree_g-1.html#Group-14.)

GEORGE TAYLOR HAWKINS, 1853 DYER, TN TO 9 JUNE 1897 ZIONHILL CEMETERY, DYER, TN 7

Based on the 1860 census George Taylor Hawkins was born in 1853. He was the son of Simeon Peter Hawkins and Isabella Taylor Hawkins. He was also my (Dolores's) second great grandfather. He was a farmer, a saddler and a harness maker. He was a Missionary Baptist. He died 9 June 1897. It sounds like it might have been appendicitis or stomach cancer. He married Rachel Francis (sic) Hickman in Crockett County, TN on 21 September 1877. She was the daughter of William Dixon Hickman and his first wife, Rachel Browder. Rachel Browder Hickman died 18 October 1877, not quite a month after her daughter's wedding. Three and one half months later, the widower married his second wife, Rebecca Hardin of Dyer/Crockett counties.

George was 24 when he married but Fannie, as RF Hickman Hawkins was known, was only 16. Whether it was customary for females in rural areas to marry that young or she was escaping a troubled family life, I don't know. I was given a picture of George T. Hawkins and Fannie Hickman Hawkins by a cousin, but I cannot find it. It shows a dark haired man with dark eyes, very nice looking, but he seems dwarfed by his very blonde wife, who has fleshier features. I know she is younger than George Taylor Hawkins but looks somehow older. I would say they are in their 40's, so this was taken before 1897. I was surprised by how blonde Fannie appears in this old timey photo. I have a photo of her father who is quite brunette and in the 1870 census her paternal grandfather, D. D. or Dixon D Hickman, is listed first as white and then a big B was put over the w. Whether this was in error or not, I have no way of knowing.

George Taylor Hawkins and Fannie had five sons; Walter W, Curry Meldrow, Joseph Fletcher (known as Fletcher), Donnie and George James.

George Taylor Hawkins and Fannie Hickman Hawkins' first child was Walter William Hawkins and he was born 7 Aug 1878 in Dyer county, TN, so it wasn't a shotgun wedding. Walter would eventually marry the next door neighbor girl named Lula Harwell. Walter had blue eyes and auburn hair on his WW I registration form. It looks like he and Lula had six children. Walter seems to have been an upstanding citizen. I don't know where the name Walter came from. I don't know of any earlier Walter Hawkins, but William is his maternal grandfather's name.

George Taylor Hawkins and Fannie HIckman Hawkins' second child was Curry Meldrow Hawkins or Charles Curry Hawkins and he seems to have been a different type altogether. For one thing, as he was frequently in trouble, he kept changing his names as well as his children's. He was born 21 June 1880. I obviously never met the man, although he is my great grandfather. If any descendants have any redeeming stories, I'd love to hear them. Otherwise, I'll base my next installment on what my grandfather and father told me about him. WW I registration shows him as 38 with Curry, 1917, in North medium height, auburn hair, blue eyes and a Little Rock, Arkansas. stout build. He is a train conductor/locomotive engineer for the railroad in the 1920 census. He favors his mother in his coloring and body type.

In the picture to the left, both brothers are behind their wives or future wives. Fletcher looks taller but I believe he is two years younger. I do not know what the occasion was. In the picture above, Fletcher and Crickett Hawkins are on the left and Curry and Audie Hawkins are on the right.

Child number three for George Taylor Hawkins and Fannie Hickman Hawkins was Joseph Fletcher Hawkins who was born 18 8 September 1882 and died 25 March 1986 at age 103. He was married to Crickett Briggs. In the 1900 census she is 15 and living next door to Curry and his wife Audie Horner Hawkins. Fletcher and Crickett were married sometime before 1905 and have five son’s: Roy, Lowell, Victor, Follis and Hollis. Fletcher as Joseph Fletcher was known had gray eyes and dark hair according to his WW I registration card.

He looks like a taller version of his father. Fletcher is obviously young in this picture and although he looks like his father, in the picture of George Taylor Hawkins that I remember seeing, George's face was not so long.

George Taylor Hawkins and Fannie Hickman Hawkins' fourth child was Donny Peter Hawkins born Oct 1890 and died at age 11 in 1902. He is buried at Zion Hill Baptist Church. George Taylor Hawkins and Fannie Hickman Hawkins had a fifth and final child named George James Hawkins. I think he was born in 1893. I think he is listed in the 1910 census as James G. Hawkins as a 16 year-old in North Little Rock. This is where his brother, Curry, went after leaving Friendship. George James lived in the 5th ward, Pulaski county. His WW I registration card shows he is tall, stout, with blue eyes and dark brown hair and bad feet. By the 1930 census he is in North Little Rock and has a wife named P. Alice. He is a punch shear operator for the Missouri Pacific RR.

TIMELINE FOR GEORGE TAYLOR HAWKINS:

1860 census, Dyer district 2, under parents S. P. and I. Hawkins. He is shown as seven with siblings. His father is a farmer with value of real estate of $1100 and value of personal estate of $655. They are family #74.

1863: Death of father, Confederate soldier, in Atlanta.

1870 census, Dyer district 2, living with Isbell Hawkings (sic) , his mother, and siblings and one helper named Tyler Jones. He is shown as age 18.

7 August 1878 - birth of first child, Walter W. Hawkins

In the 1880 census George Taylor Hawkins is living with his wife and one year old son, Walter W. He has a broken shoulder. According to a note I have from a Kevin Campbell his shoulder had been broken by a runaway mule and was never set by a doctor. It left him deformed. In that same census he is living next door to a J. G. Brahars and a Harwell family. They are family #175 Crockett, Friendship.

1890 census missing.

9 June 1897 died. *** *** *** If you maintain a web site with Hawkins information, please add a link to our Hawkins DNA Project.
