Lineages

• Andrew Hawk 1784 Augusta, Ga.
  I gratefully acknowledge the work of Bert Hawk of Flowery Branch, Georgia, for his 18 years of diligence in piecing together the story of the Hawk and Malcom lines from which we descend.
  • William Hawk and Rebecca Whatley
    • Hillsman Hawk and Mahala Malcom
      • Ganaway Hawk and Ann Adeline Elizabeth Abercrombie
    • Thurmond Hawk and Mary Malcom
      • Elonza Alexander Hawk and Lucinda Elizabeth Broach
    • Nancy Jane Hawk and John Malcom
    • Rebecca Whatley Hawk and Ganaway Malcom
  • Jacob and Catherine Hawk of Jasper and Randolph counties
  • Andrew Hawk of Jasper County
  • Peter and Mary Hawk of Jasper County
• William H. Hawk and Martha Martin from Jasper County

  Note, this William H. Hawk/Martha Martin line leads to the line of James Madison Hawk of Marshall County, Alabama We're not sure exactly how how William H. Hawk and Martha A. Martin tie into the Jasper County Hawks. Our primary proofs are photocopies from an old Hawk bible in possession of Willard Butler Hawk of Marshall County, Alabama, and the Jasper County marriage record of William Hawk and Martha Martin. The lineage information and source documents are courtesy Julia Hawk Raines.

Andrew Hawke was "near Augusta" as of 4 Nov 1789.
From the Augusta Chronicle, issue of 12 Nov 1789.

Estate Administration

• William Hawk estate administration, 1814 - 1817
• Hillsman Hawk estate administration, transcribed by Carol Reardon Hawk
  
• Hillsman Hawk estate administration Excel file, sorted by Buyer and relationship to Hillsman, or at least my best guesses thereof
  
• James Blasingame Last Will and Testament, page 1, page 2, page 3, and Codicil page 1, page 2
  
  These documents dated 1833-1834 prove James Blasingame to be the father of Eliza Blasingame Abercrombie. Eliza was the wife of Hugh Abercrombie, and was my g4grandmother. Witness John Blasingame is the nephew of James. Hugh and Eliza were neighbors of Hillsman and Mahala Hawk, and parents of Ann Adeline Elizabeth Abercrombie, wife of Hillsman's first son Ganaway Hawk. After Ganaway's death at Richmond, Ann remarried George W. Aycock. G. W. became the legal guardian of Ganaway's children as shown below.
