Stephen Hawkins, Mystery Man AR/TX/TN/NC
I'm Kyle Hawkins (MO), son of Fred H (AZ), son of Stanley H (TX). son of Stephen H.(TX), son of Albert Pierce or Pearce Hawkins b. 12-25-1853 in Independence County Arkansas. His father is a mystery. Please help me figure him out.
In 1861, he is listed in the Henderson County, Texas Census as follows: Stephen Hawkins, 33, farmer, b. Tennessee (TN). Living with his wife, Sarah M. Hawkins, age 29, b. Illinois (IL). 4 kids listed. Marion C. Hawkins, age 9, born Texas (TX), Albert P. Hawkins (my ancestor) age 8, b. Arkansas (AR), Henry M. Hawkins, age 3 b. Arkansas, and Martha Hawkins, age 2 months, b. Arkansas.
Here is where the mystery begins.....
In 1850, for the census of Independence County Arkansas (where Albert P was born....)
Stephen Hawkins, age 24, a farmer, (still b TN) and his wife Sarah M, age 22 (but she's 29 ten years later..... go figure) (still b. IL) are living with 2 very unlikely people...... Anna Hawkins, age 64, b. North Carolina (NC) (I would go so far as to guess that this is his mother? If so, born when she was 40, he would likely be the youngest child?) She COULD be his grandmother or aunt...... who's to say.
The other person he is living with is one William J. Barnhill.... a 12 year old boy born in Mississippi. Is any of this making sense to anyone else?
OK so the mysteries are..... Who's this kid - is he related or not. How is the older lady related to Stephen, and how old is Stephen's wife?
This is all the information I have on my family. If ANYONE can shed any light on them or can plug them into any of their families PLEASE let me know. I can trace so many of my family branches back into Europe, but the one branch of my family where I get my last name has been such a struggle for me to get any information on.....
Thanks
