Jacob Burger Hawkins was my GGGGreatgrandfather and is listed on my family tree at www.kristimoffitt.com If you go to that site you can search by name and find a picture of his wife Sallie Laurence. I thought I had his picture on there, but turns out I don't. I will try to get it updated. I am always working to get more photos online. Kristi P.S. I will scan those documents for you as soon as I get a minute. Also, my great grandmother Edith Stone Grizzle wrote two pages about her grandfather that I have yet to get on my website, but I have transcribed the originals. Here it is. In case anyone is interested. I treasure this information and I am so grateful that even as a relatively young woman, she had the foresight to write this down for future generations. I am only 28 years young and I sure hope I can do the same favor by preserving some of my history... I left the spelling just as it is in the original. 1. Individual , Edith Stone Grizzle.
