I just picked up the Hawkins in these messages. I monitor this list because of my husband's Montgomery county, Va Martin connections. But this year I am pretty much zeroing into the Hawkins surname in Orange County, VA and in the part of Kentucky that I always describe as "if you draw a circle around Lexington most of the Hawkins lines that I research are somewhere in that circle"....but it is a fairly good sized circle taking in many counties....If I can help with the Hawkins surname, just let me know.
