Personal replies to [email protected] My family roots seem to be quite long in Kentucky and quite a bit in Anderson County, KY. I have Captain James Hawkins (1750-1819) m. Jane Bourne (1763-1842) who were bothborn in VA, married in Va but about 1790 or earlier moved to KY. Their only son James Morton Hawkins was born in Jessamine KY in 1793 m. Sarah Buntain McMichael in 1819, Franklin Co., and then died in Anderson County, KY in 1864. His son, Benjamin Hawkins 1830-1916, Anderson County and was in the Civil War, Union Army married Jane Bucy and then Anne Peach Murphy in 1879. He had 8 children w/ Jane: Minnie, John, Kate, Ida, Schuyler, Jerusha, Mary Elizabeth, Hardin. He had 6 or 7 w/ Anne: James Morton, Thomas Beebe, Alexa Logan, Addie, Dekalb, Mary Elizabeth (not sure on this child) and Benjamin (this is my grandfather). Sometime in 1956, James Morton - my grandfather's brother was still on the family land in Anderson County, KY - near Beaver Creek I believe by my uncle who wrote in down in the family papers when he was doing family history. I am curious if there are still Hawkins there. My grandfather moved away from KY to Louisiana and then back to KY and then back to Louisiana. In the one trip back to KY w/ his bride Maude Weekley the majority of his 8 children were born in Lawrenceburg, KY (1920s). By the time I was born, I never even heard nor saw KY. I didn't even know my GGF had 14 or 15 children. If any of this sounds familiar to anybody or anybody knows about the Hawkins of Anderson County, KY please contact me - personal replies to [email protected] Would love to find I have a whole bunch of family there. Thanks.
