    1. Re: [MADKY] JOSEPH HAWKINS on 1792 Madison County Tax List
    2. Ann B. Chambless
    3. My William Campbell was born circa 1776 in Virginia and married Susannah Hawkins in 1795 in Madison Co, KY. Susannah Campbell is mentioned in her father's will (Joseph Hawkins) which was recorded on on August 1, 1803. (I have been told some of Joseph Hawkins' land was sold by his children in 1805. My heartfelt thanks is hereby extended to the wonderful lady who is working on that piece of the puzzle for me.) William and Susannah (Hawkins) Campbell moved to Tennessee along with her sister Martha (Patsy) Hawkins who married Richard Butcher and her sister Sarah Hawkins who married John Pitts/Pits on Aug 17, 1796, and her brother Reuben Hawkins. John Pits, William Campbell, and John Hawkins all appear on the 1812 Wararen Co, TN Tax List along with several of the Butcher clan. William Campbell and Richard Butcher both bought land in the area of Short Mountain, in the section which became Cannon CO, TN, in 1836. Reuben Hawkins was enumerated in the household of William Campbell in the 1850 Cannon Co, TN. In 1852, William Campbell served as the administrator of Reuben Hawkins' estate. In the transcribed Madison County, KY marriage records, one finds that a William Campbell married LUCY Hawkins in 1795. This makes me wonder if a clerk entered the first name or even a wrong name for Susannah Hawkins who married the William Campbell connected with the family of Joseph Hawkins whose will was recorded in 1803 in Madison County. William and Susannah Hawkins' first child was James Campbell born in Kentucky in 1796, according to his own family Bible records. The James Campbell, born in 1796, named his first son William Whitefield Campbell which was the name of this child's paternal and maternal grandfathers (William Campbell and Whitefield Elledge). NOTE: I have just been informed by Elaine Campbell who also descends from William and Susannah (Hawkins) Campbell that I erred in my earlier email when I stated that Joseph Hawkins of Madison Co, KY, was the son of Joseph Hawkins of Spotsylvania Co, VA, who died in 1769. Elaine further stated that the Joseph Hawkins of Spotsylvania Co, VA's son, Joseph, went to Fayette Co, KY. PLEASE make this correction in your records if you are interested in the family of Joseph Hawkins whose will is found in Madison Co, KY. I truly appreciate all the wonderful help and suggestions offered by other Madison County, Kentucky researchers. Thanks for sharing your expertise and time with me. Ann B.
