HAWKINS, GRAY

My 2nd great grandparents were John and Rutha Gray Hawkins. According to the U.S. Census, John was b. 1817 TN and Rutha Gray Hawkins was b. 1818 TN. Their sons were, Nathan, Hiram, William H.H., and Squire Robert Hawkins. John's possible siblings may have been named, Joseph, Hiram, and Mary. At some time these Hawkins moved to Obion Co., TN, prior to the War Between the States. ****Who were the parents of the above John Hawkins and his wife Rutha Gray and if possible, their siblings. I'd really be grateful for any information on this branch of Hawkins'. Thank you, Lynn Hawkins

GILBERT

Am interested in any information about the Gilbert family of McKenzie, TN. The original settler in the area was Benjamin Gilbert, Jr., a Revolutionary War Veteran (named on a plaque in the Dresden courthouse), who came to the area with his son, Jonathan Moore Gilbert, Sr., in the early 19th Century. Many Gilberts are buried in an old family cemetery on a private farm off the Dresden road near the pet food plant. I know that at least J.M. Gilbert, Sr. and Jr. are buried there, and would like to confirm that Benjamin, Jr. and his wife, Millie McKenzie (sister of Captain John McKenzie) are as well. Would also be interested in knowing if any efforts are under way to refurbish or otherwise research that cemetery.

John MOORE md. Sophia E. JONES on 30 Jun 1870 in Benton Co., Tenn. (That is as early as I have on John Moore.) They soon moved to Nashville, Howard Co., Arkansas. Sophia's father was Robert Paul JONES (b. 9 Jun 1827, in North Carolina - d. 3 Nov 1900 in Howard Co., Ark.) Who are his parents? ( In 1850 Carroll Co. census, Robert Jones family is living not too far from William & Lucinda JONES. ???) Sophia's mother was Martha Jane TROUTT (b. 6 Dec 1832, in Tennessee - d. 20 Jun 1926 in Howard Co., Ark.). Martha TROUTT's father was Henry TROUTT (b. ~1805, in North Carolina; living in Carroll Co. in 1850 with his 2nd wife {Sabeary Denton} and his six sons: Alfred, Green, Micajah, Granville, Henry C., & Elijah). Who was Martha's mother (she d. by 1848)? [I'm stretching with the following: There was a Green SMOTHERS living near the Henry TROUTT family. Could this point to the possibility that Henry's 1st wife (Martha's mother) was a SMOTHERS? Both TROUTTS and SMOTHERS families are living in Wilson Co., Tennessee according to earlier censuses (eg. 1830)] Contact Rev. Steven J. Porter at S_and_S_Porter@juno.com
