Edward Hawkins and wife Winnie Wells were the parents of several children, most of whom were born in S.C. in the late 1700's. One known son was Williamson Hawkins who was born in 1790 in S.C. and went to north Georgia while still in his teens. He worked in North Ga, (Cherokee Country) a few years, then sometime around 1810 or before, he went to Tennessee, met and married Elizabeth Nations and then, about 1818 moved to Jefferson County, Ala.with his wife. During the time in North Georgia, there was also other Hawkins who probably were older brothers of Williamson, There was Edward ( either his father, or Edward, Jr., a brother) and Samuel, b ca 1875 S.
