I have just found the following information regarding Lillie Bell's parents Visa LaRue & Harbert Hawkins at the TN State Archives.Note that there is some question as to whether all of the Hawkins listed below were children of Harbert and Visa, as she would have been 49 when Delitha was born.However, all of these "children" appear on some or all of the 1850, 1860 and 1880 McNairy Co., TN censuses within the Harbert Hawkins household.
Harbert Hawkins (b.abt 1827 TN) m. Visa Adeline LaRue (b.abt 1829 TN).
children:
George W.b.abt 1846
Thomas Alfredb.abt 1851
Johnb.abt 1854
William C. b.abt 1858
Samuelb.abt 1861
Sarah E. b.abt 1864
Jamesb.abt 1865
Delaneb.abt 1871
Stantonb.abt 1873
Delitha A. b.abt 1876
Also, Harbert's and Visa's parents are all shown as born in TN.
On a personal note, my g-mother, who was married to Lillie Bell's son, claims she was told by Lillie Bell that Visa and her family were Indian.However, I've no proof of that claim other than family word-of-mouth.
