Thomas married a Hawkins on Nov. 28, 1844. They were the parents of my ggg grandmother Martha Powell who married Benjamin Boling. Benjamin and Martha named one of their daughters Patience Elizabeth Boling. John Washington Boling, my gg grandfather and a son of Benjamin and Martha, named one of his daughters Patience. I have a Lizzie Milleson Hawkins who married a Powell. Do you know if that is the same Powell and Hawkins marriage? Lizzie is a grand daughter of William Eaton Hawkins and Catherine Boling. Is there any connection in the Boling family? Tommy R. Hart
