This is my first message to the list. My g-g-grandfather, John H. HAWKINS, was in Saline Co., AR by 1851, at which time he married Rachel RICHARDS = d/o Hannah ( ? ) RICHARDS, father's first name unkown. They were in the Saline Township during the 1860 census and in the 1870 census they were located in Fenter, Grant Co., AR. It is most likely that they never moved, the boundry line was on their property and when Grant Co., was formed their property was then located in Grant Co., AR. Part of their property remained in Traskwood, Saline Co., AR. They had the following children: 1. John Cicero HAWKINS m. Laura L. MITCHELL d/o Alphonso Franklin MITCHELL and Sarah PHILLIPS 2. Nancy H. HAWKINS m. Alphonso P. MITCHELL (brother of Laura) 3. Sarah HAWKINS 4. Mary HAWKINS 5. Harvey Ann HAWKINS m. Halliburton SANFORD Just wondering if anyone on the list is researching this family. Related familes in Saline County, Arkansas: BRASWELL....BENEDICT....CARAWAY....MITCHELL....DODDRIDGE
