Surnames: HAWTHORN/HAWTHORNE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4R.2ADE/879.1.1.1 Message Board Post: the complete hawthorn/hawthorne history and indivuals are listed at: southern-style.com/Hawthorne.htm after reading the History of Conech County i find that the one's listed in Conecuh do not have an "e" at the end of their name, where as the one's living in Wilcox County do. They are the same family. They probably added an "E" due to the confusion over the slaves owned by the family. At any rate J.R.'s father was Joshua without an "e" and settled in Belleville. J.R. left around 1854 headed for Pine Apple in Wilcox County.
