Much speculation exists as to the parents of Drury Hawkins, but proof is, as ever, scarce. This page outlines only from Drury down, leaving the speculative connections backwards to other places for now.

1.Drury HAWKINS, (1792 - 18??)

Drury Hawkins is known to have married Sarah Walton SMITH on 16 JUL 1817 in Hancock County, GA. I believe this family is in the 1820 census in Washington County, enumerated as "Drury BURGAMY". The HAWKINS and BURGAMY families were neighbors and were related and there was never a Drury BURGAMY. This listing comes immediately after the listing of William BURGAMY who married a Susannah HAWKINS in 1759.

The children of Drury and Sarah HAWKINS were:

1. a son - b. 1810-1815 per the census, he may belong to Drury from an earlier wife.
2. Lourana HAWKINS - b. 1816, m. 10 JAN 1839 in Washington County, GA to Charles A. COFIELD (6 children)
3. Henry HAWKINS - b. 1820-1823, d. 1878 Washington County, GA; he m. Emily F. ??? and had 10 children

Drury Hawkins married next to Artemisia COOK (b. 1804-1810) on 1 MAY 1828 in Washington County, GA. For the parents of Artemisia, I am interested in an Allen and Lydia COOK who were in the areas where the HAWKINS family resided.

The children of Drury and Artemisia HAWKINS were:

1. Caroline Frances HAWKINS - bc. 1828 dc. 1907 Washington County, GA; she m. Henry BLOUNT 18 DEC 1849 Washington County, GA (10 children)
2. Susan HAWKINS - bc. 1828, d. 16 FEB 1913 Washington County, GA; she m. Clemmons Calvin COBB 21 DEC 1848 Washington County, GA.
3. Marian HAWKINS - b. 1833-34, m. 12 MAY 1853 James A. DICKENS Washington County, GA (4 children)
4. Hiram H. HAWKINS - b. 18 AUG 1833, d. 7 JAN 1879 Glascock County, GA; m. 22 MAY 1854 Eliza KITCHENS (7 children)
5. Thomas Jefferson HAWKINS - bc. 1834 d. 9 JUL 1862 in Richmond, VA; he m. Sarah Ann Melissa HARRISON 13 JAN 1854 (5 children)
6. William A. HAWKINS - b. 26 OCT 1836 m. Mary A ALFORD 4 JAN 1864 in Washington County, GA (8 children)
7. Nathan R. HAWKINS - b. MAR 1837 m. Henrietta HARRISON 19 JAN 1858 Hancock County, GA (6 children); and 2nd m. Matilda GRIZZLE 29 AUG 1891 Warren County, GA (5 children)
8. Sarah Jane HAWKINS - b. 4 MAR 1840 d. 2 AUG 1890 Warren County, GA. She did not marry.
9. Arraminda HAWKINS - b. MAY 1842 m. 2 MAY 1860 Warren County, GA to Calvin TYRE, her stepmother's son.
10. James F. HAWKINS - b. 12 MAY 1844, d. 30 MAR 1917 Laurens County, GA; m. 4 JAN 1864 Washington County, GA to Julia Augusta HARRISON (8 children)
11. Catherine HOWELL - b. 2 OCT 1846 d. 29 DEC 1888 Warren County, GA; she m. Daniel R. HOWELL 6 FEB 1866 (7 children)

Drury HAWKINS married thirdly to Sarah TYRE on 13 DEC 1852 in Hancock County, GA. She had two children, Calvin who married Drury's daughter Arraminda, and a daughter Sarah. Drury and Sarah had no children of their own.
