I for one find all the information regarding Hawkins County very interesting and read most of the emails people have sent regarding information, I have found some of my ancestors listed amongst many of the people of Hawkins County. On another list I belong to, it came down to a very small article that helped the brick walls in my family search and one never knows when a name may be mentioned that will drive a wedge into that chink. I also enjoy reading when someone did find a great discovery about their ancestor, it gives me some hope that maybe someday I may be able to gather more information Pine, Morris is my main research for Hawkins County. I found that my great-grandmother's brother John Pine married Nancy Shanks and Shanks are related to the Lawson's of Hawkins County and many other names, if I hadn't read the emails, I wouldn't have seen some of the relations. My great-grandmother Mary Pine married my great-grandfather George W. Morris who I found was living with his sister in the 1860 census and were married in December 1860. I also am finding what great history Hawkins County has and the people who settled this part of Tennessee and the different counties one needs to look at as well when searching Hawkins County. Without information provided who would have known so much about this county, its ties with the revolutionary war, the civil war, etc.. This is also one of the most active lists I belong to besides Massachusetts, others I have to see if I am still subscribed so please continue everyone to provide information and names. Right now I am housebound for a few weeks after a heart attack and this is my refuge.
