General Notes: Husband - James C. Hawkins
He was born on the old Hawkins' homestead, near Beallsville, Pennsylvania, remained there with his parents until 1814, and with them moved to the new home on Ten-Mile creek. He received a good common-school education, and some additional training in a select school at Beallsville. Until 1835 he fol-lowed teaching and farm work, and then purchased a farm in East Bethlehem township, Washington County, known as the "Montgomery Patent," lying on the waters of North Ten-Mile creek, immediately adjoining the farm of his father. Soon after his marriage, in 1836, he moved onto this farm, and carried on farming, sheep breeding, and the carding of wool and fulling of cloth. For several years he owned a general store in Clarksville, Pennsylvania, and bought wool for the general market for a number of years. He was successful in busi-ness, and retired in 1881 from active life (his sons assuming his business cares), and moved to a home opposite Clarksville, spending his declining years in quiet comfort. He and his wife were for many years members of the Baptist Church; in 1849 he built a church on his farm, and gave it a willing support, leaving by his will a generous annuity to its pastor.
He resided on the Hawkins homestead, situated in East Bethlehem Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, the original tract that came into the Hawkins family in 1772, on letters patent granted to his [grand?] father, Thomas Hawkins, by the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
