Willam C. Hawkins, Pike Co AL died 1835

I also am researching this line.Thank you for the information you provided.I understand that William Curtis Hawkins was murdered.This is information I just posted to the Curtis genforum with information on the Hawkins.I just got the information on that loop that our Elizabeth Curtis was probably married previously to a Horn.The marriage of Robert Curtis and Elizabeth Horn is recorded in Hancock county, Georgia Marriages as having occurred on August 21, 1806.William Curtis Hawkins was born in 1807.Elizabeth is supposed to have been the daughter of Blundell Curtis, had one illegitimate child, and two by Mr. Horn before marrying Robert.These are not proven facts, just clues that have been pieced together.
Dear Rachel:
Thanks so much for your response.It has been quite a while since I checked the Curtis loop.Your information fits with my suspicions that the Elizabeth Curtis Hawkins had been previously married.William Curtis Hawkins, son of Robert Hawkins and Elizabeth Curtis Hawkins, cited Georgia as his place of birth in the census.In searching Georgia marriages I discovered a marriage of Robert Hawkins and Elizabeth Horn on August 21, 1806 in Hancock County Georgia.Please note another email that I received with information connecting our Hawkins to Sumter County, South Carolina.I also got information from someone that connects our Robert as being the son of William hawkins who married Mary Littleberry and hadLittleberry, William, James, Mildred, Benjamin and Joseph Hawkins in Buncombe or Campbell County, Virginia.Still piecing together clues!Sharman Ramsey

Notes for MARY ELIZABETH HAWKINS:
Sharman,
Thanks for the information. Years ago, I got some information from those
Adams who were mentioned in your notes. I see a definite list of who Epsy's
father was supposed to be, but isn't it curious that she was listed as a Goodman
in Mandy Hawkins DuBose's Bible? But at least that will give me something to
check on. I had seen the Gooding notation before, as I said, but never with any
proof attached. I would like to put that matter to rest, once and for all.
Something is off about those different names, and I would really like to know
the truth.
I meant to mention that my best friend here has Ramseys in her line, and I
told her about your site. She has already been in contact with you or your
husband, I think. She is originally from Wesson, MS. Sharron Baird has worked
on a DAR line through someone like William Ramsey. Small world.
Going back to the information on the DuBoses and the two Hawkins sisters,
Mary Elizabeth and Amanda Evelinah. Go back and check those dates for the
sisters. Mary Elizabeth died in childbirth in 1845, and it was Hezekiah, not
her, who died in 1902. The dates I quoted yesterday came from their tombstones
in the Marlin Texas City Cemetery, and are verified by obituaries and funeral
cards. I am personally certain of those dates. Mary Elizabeth's son was
William Joel DuBose, not William Joseph. I also see that someone had William
M. Gray as my great grandmother Epsy Ann DuBose's husband. His name was William
Garrett Gray. Her sister Melissa Jane DuBose married William Garrett's brother,
Clinch Marzette Gray.
More later....I want to look at the Hawkins possibilities in the 1790 SC
census when I get a chance.
