• Notes

  A letter from Dorothy Hawk indicated that Thadues HawkAnd Betsy Butler were the parents of William. Local records disagree and point to Jacob Hawk and Elizabeth WalbornInformation from Shelby, Ohio, gives William Hawk's parents as Thad Hawk and Betsy Butler, both born in Lebanon County and moving to Franklin County. The name Thad Hawk is not found in the Pennsylvania Census records of 1790 thru 1850, nor in the records of the historical societies for Lebanon or franklin Counties. Thad could, of course, be a middle name.The Lebanon County Historical Society has no file for the name Butler and only two references in other family files, both in the latter part of the nineteenth century. USCensus index lists no Butlers in Lebanon or Butler counties in 1800 or 1820 and only one in 1820 at Heidelberg.The 1850 Census shows William and Susan Hawk living in St Thomas, Franklin Co., with their children Jacob, Catherine, Rebecca, Nancy, Mary, John, and William as well as Elizabeth Hawk, aged 62, whom I assumed to be William's mother.The graveyard at St Thomas Reformed Church contains graves for the Hawk family: "Jacob Hawk, Died Dec 1, 1826 -- Sarah, His dau, died about 1834", "Elizabeth, Wife of Jacob Hawk - D Mar 3, 1865, aged 68 yr, 10 mo. 23 da.","Christian Hawk, d 1874 in 68th year", "Our Sister Margaret Hawk, d 1875 in 58th Year"In a write-up on John Hawk, born 1811. the "History of Franklin County" shows that his parents, Jacob and Elizabeth (Walborn) Hawk, natives of Lebanon County moved to Franklin County from near Myerstown about 1873 and that Elizabeth was buried at the St Thomas Reformed Church.The records of Trinity Tulpehocken Reformed Church near Myerstown show the marriage of Jacob Haack and Elizabeth Walborn. Their son Christian was born in 1807 and a daughter Marie in 1809. There is no mention of John in 1811 or William in 1813. The birthdate for Christian corresponds to the St Thomas tombstone.The birthdate of Elizabeth Walborn ("Walborn Genealogical History of America" by Herman W Walborn) corresponds to the age given by the tombstone in St Thomas.The "Biographical Annals of Franklin County, 1905" shows that Jacob and Elizabeth had seven children, Mary, John, Catherine, Elizabeth, William, Jacob, and Margaret. It gives William's wife as Elizabeth Miller instead of Susannahand has an incorrect date for Jacob's death, 1876 instead of 1826.The baptism records of the German Reformed Church at St Thomas give children of a Mr and Mrs Hawk as William, Sarah, Jacob, John, andElizabeth. Dates generally correspond. Information of Marcia Cleveland researching Susan Miller's family gave William, John, and Catherine as the children of Jacob and Elizabeth (Walborn) Hawk with William marrying Susan Miller and Catherine marrying John Miller.None of the documents are complete and some have noticeable errors. Nevertheless, the evidence clearly points to Jacob Hawk and elizabeth Walborn as the parents of William Hawk.
