Hi Edie, Don't believe there is a connection to my line. I have a Benjamin Preston married a Mary Ethel Ashby in Greenbrier County. The information that I'm trying confirm would be on brothers John and Martin. Do believe there are maybe three lines of Hawks. One from Germany, one from England, and a Native American line. Isaac that came from England is the one that is in my line. The Hawk families named their children the same every generation so it is a nightmare trying to keep straight. Does any of this sound familiar? Charlotte
