Marty, there is now a way to prove relationship between Samuel Williamson Hawkins and the older Williamson Hawkins of Birmingham, Alabama.If you have found a Hawkins male descendant of Samuel Williamson, or a brother of him.You could get them to do a Y-DNA test.We have now established a benchmark for the descendants of Samuel Hawkins who was a brother of WilliamsonHawkins so if your Hawkins Y-DNA matches ours, it will prove you are related.This test has to be done by a male who still carries the Hawkins name, as this Y-Chromosome is only passed down from a father to his sons, and they, to their sons, and continues down through the ages, relatiively unchanged. There is a Hawkins DNAProject at www.familytreedna.com, or e-mail, [email protected]
