The Thomas
Hawkins Family arrived in New York from England in the early 1830's.
They may have already lived in New York City in 1830, and later possibly
in Albany NY. Thomas was a machinist and moved to Mobile, Alabama in the
1850's, where he set up a large machine shop.
His
son, John T. Hawkins, taught at Annapolis according to family lore. I am
wondering if he's the same John T. Hawkins - second assistant engineer
- whose journal
of his voyages on the USS
Pensacola (photo)
from 1861 to 1863 is at the New York Public Library's Manuscripts and Archives
Division. Any information would be greatly appreciated. He also may have
served after 1864-1865 as second assistant engineer on the US
Steamer Mattabessett or on the USS USS
Stettin. I am in the process of requesting his Navy records.
His brothers,
William E., and George W., settled in Red
Wing, Minnesota, in 1855 and after 1868. They were partners in a carriage
and sign painting and paint selling business. George may also have been
in the Navy prior to 1868.
The handwriting
on Hawkins family photos is that of Odila Hawkins Warren, who wanted to
pass on the Hawkins and Burkard family histories to the next generation.
