Nancy,
I haven't been on this site in a long time and just saw your post. I'm glad to see it is so recent -- maybe you will see this reply soon. My post about Enos Hawkins and Eleanor Miller was in 2001 and since then I've gotten a great deal of information. Actually it was just this past summer that I got beyond that brick wall.
How do you relate to this family? Enos, born in 1825, was my great grandfather. His father was William R. Hawkins, born in Virginia around 1793 and died after 1860, I believe, in Hardin County. William R. was married to Susannah Shelton born around 1800.They were married August 11, 1817 in Hardin County, KY.
Eleanor Miller, born 1824 and died after 1880 was the daughter of Adam Miller, born 1788 in Virginia and Nancy Taylor, born 1792 Virginia, also, I believe. Adam died 2/16/1877 in Hart County, KY. His death certificate says he was 100 years old.I believe you are correct that Eleanor had a brother named Charles. I don't have my information in front of me at the moment but I think I remember that name from Census information. I think at one point in the 1850 or 60 Hart County Census Enos and Elenor were living next to Charles Miller and I made that assumption but after that I came up with more concrete evidence about the families. I'd just have to go through my files to find it.
If you'd like to email me off-site my email address is: [email protected]. I'd be happy to share anything I have with you and would love to know your information.
Thanks,
