Mather Catherine Hawman siblings
I just received notes on an interview that took place regarding the Hawmans a few years back. Mary Catherine married William Lee Harrington. My great-uncle, her son, knew some members of his mother's family quite.
Here is what he had to say:
Mary Catherine had 2 brothers for sure, perhaps more in Memphis.
There was a brother George who lived most of the time in Arkansas on a ferry boat. He had a disease and was crippled. Apparently he chewed tobacco and Mary warned the my great-uncle and George that "if you get sick from it, don't come to me." George also came to Mary's house quite a bit to cut wood.
Mary had another brother, John. Chances are he passed away down near Memphis.
The following information is based on the Harringtons, but perhaps this will help anyone looking for info on the Hawmans since the Harringtons and Hawmans were close.
A grandchild of Mary and Williams was born in Lambertville, Crittenden County, Arkansas. Also, William's parents, according to my great-uncle, lived in south Arkansas on the Mississippi river. They lived in a cabin boat.
We also have a photo of George Hawman and his wife.
