Anyone have help for this researcher? La Darla Hello, I am doing research on the first pastor of First Baptist Church of Bridgeport, Texas. His name was A. Hawkins and the church was formed in 1882. He was also the pastor at Pleasant View Baptist Church that was formed in 1881. He pastored both churches at the same time as he was a “circuit preacher” Bridgeport met on the fourth Sunday of every month and Pleasant View met on the second Sunday. Any help you can give would be most appreciated. There is the distinct possibility that A. Hawkins is related to W.A. “Alf” Hawkins, Sr. that founded Hawkins Funeral Home in Bridgeport in 1906. Thank You, John Bell, Assoc.
