Notes:

[R06.2.15.1]

married in Chatham Co NC

--
If it is true that Elizabeth named each of her sons with his father's surname, Hawkins' father was the
John A Hawkins who lived in Chatham Co. There doesn't seem to be another Hawkins family in the
area at the time.

--
Some genealogy sites show him with first or middle name Henry, but I've only seen him referred to as Hawkins.

--
He was a farmer.
