He is a son of David and Emily (Craddoc) Hawn, of German and English descent, respectively. David Hawn was born in Catawba County, N.C., and was first married to a niece of Maj. Whitener, after which he removed to Madison County, Mo. His wife died soon after, and he returned to North Carolina and remained a short time, when he came back to Madison County and worked for awhile at the carpenter's trade. In 1831 he was united in marriage with Miss Emily Craddoc and removed to Bollinger County, and settled on a farm, where he died in 1842. To this union were born four children: Thomas, Ann, Samuel and Christian. Thomas grew to maturity on his father's farm, and received such eduction as the schools of those times afforded. In 1854 his marriage with Miss Harriet J. Yount was celebrated. Mrs. Hawn is of Dutch descent, and is the mother of fifteen children, viz.: Emily S. (Mrs. H. Lee), James C., Matilda A., Jessie D., Margaret E. (Mrs. Jacob Wallace), Samuel D., Mary C. (Mrs. John Salyer), Luvare E. (Mrs. James Wallace), William, Charles, Sarah J., Eliza R., Thomas C., Epps M. and Serepta O. During the Civil War, Mr. Hawn was in sympathy with the South, but took no part in the contest. Having been conscripted by Col. Green, he was released after paying the cummutation tax, but afterward was taken prisoner by the bushwackers, who held him two days after he had taken the oath of allegiance to the Confederacy, when he was allowed to return home. Mr. and Mrs. Hawn are devoted members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

I'm from the first marriage through Sarah Hunsucker who married Henry Bolch/Bolick. So I was just working on some updates and tracing some of the Bridges family when I discovered this Aderholdt stuff. In the Hunsucker book there is a letter from the Drum's of Cape Gireardeau Co Missouri to Mrs. J H Adderholdt in Catawba Co, so I started tracking the Aderholdt's when I discovered this!!!

Dear Friends, As the former NC State Coordinator, I'd like to insert my two-cent's worth on the up-coming USGenWeb election. I REALLY do care who our next National Coordinator is. For that reason, I am speaking out after a long period of silence. Please visit my page: http://www.hartshorn.us/LHDavenportPage.htm I am delighted to have the opportunity to endorse a candidate for USGenWeb National Coordinator whom I feel is the best possible person to lead us. I have always wished that Linda Haas Davenport would run for national office. Finally, the opportunity exists for her to lead our Project. I strongly urge USGenWeb participants to support Linda Haas Davenport for the office of National Coordinator. Derick S.

For that reason, we always welcome recollections, photos and stories of Conover and the area around us. I thank Don Barker for his many wonderful historic photos of "Olde Canova," most of which are on display, either at the Conover City Hall lobby, on display at the Catawba County Library in Newton or on the web. His personal page can be found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccconov/dbarker.htm For the folks who have an attachment to Conover, the Conover page has been the best kept secret on the Internet. It will continue to grow as long as folks care. Submissions and suggestions are eagerly sought. See: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccconov/ The Conover page was the first City Project of the USGenWeb Project (http://www.usgenweb.org/). I have had a really warm reception from folks who leave Guest Book messages. Don answers them while I attend to web duties. Maiden residents and those who seek information about this historic town have a marvelous resource. Our primo city/town Project is that of Maiden, NC http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccmaide/ Robin Barger is the host and has transcribed cemeteries, and a whole lot more. She is a really super volunteer and has a wonderful page. That's who we are! Everyone in the USGenWeb is a volunteer. We believe in FREE GENEALOGY and we practice what we preach. If enough people are interested, I'll be happy to start a Conover (and/or Maiden) discussion list. This would allow folks to share information about the Railroad "Wye, past Oyama" where the trains changed directions. --Derick S. Hartshorn www.Hartshorn.us

Dear friends, If you have enjoyed the history of the Hoke family in book "In the Name of God Almighty, I ... Hoke Bequeath.." by Jean S. Berlekamp and Hope Hoke McConnell. Jean and her daughter, Miriam are working on a new edition, currently being finalized. The first edition had an abbreviated section on Frederich Hoke and the Catawba Valley Hokes. This time, the authors hope to have a much more comprehensive section of the Hokes who populated and influenced the development of Conover, North Carolina and the Catawba Valley. I am urging anyone and everyone who might have stories, pictures or information about the HOKE family to contact Jean's daughter, Miriam K Fankhauser at <mirianda@friendlynet.com> --D
