FOURTH GENERATION

ZADOCK HAWKINS Book Information

78. Ezra Eleazer4 HAWKINS (Zadock3 HAWKINS, Zadock2 HAWKINS, Zadock1 HAWKINS) was born on 1 Jun 1818 in Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., Ohio, USA. He died on 10 Dec 1897 in Waltz Twp., Wabash Co., Indiana.

He was married to Nancy OWENS (daughter of Elijah OWENS and Mary "Polly" HENDRICKS) on 16 Mar 1839 in Bartholomew Co., Indiana, USA. She was one of three children of Elijah Owens who married a child of Zadock and Jane (Cooper) Hawkins. Although Elijah Owens was reported to have been married three times, it is believed that Nancy's mother was Polly Hendricks. The original marriage record of Ezra and Nancy is a bit confusing. It appears the license was granted on 16 March 1839. However, the notation that they were actually married appears to indicate they were married on 7 March 1839. The former was recorded on 16 March 1839. The latter was dictated by the minister and recorded by the County Clerk on 20 June 1839. Because of this confusion, we use 16 March as the marriage date.

The family of Ezra HAWKINS appeared on the 1840 U.S. Census in Flat Rock Twp., Bartholomew Co., Indiana. Some time between 1840 and 1850 they moved to Wabash Co., Indiana where Ezra and Nancy appeared on the census in Waltz Township in 1850. Nancy OWENS was born about 1822 in Kentucky, USA. She died on 8 May 1854 in Waltz Twp., Wabash Co., Indiana, most likely. Ezra Eleazer HAWKINS and Nancy OWENS had the following children:

He was married to Elizabeth SNIDER on 5 Nov 1855 in Miami Co., Indiana. Ezra and Elizabeth appeared on the 1860 U.S. Census in Waltz Twp., Wabash Co., Indiana. In 1880 after Elizabeth had died, Ezra appeared on the census in the same location. Elizabeth SNIDER was born about 1829 in Hohenholmes, Germany. The 1860 U.S. Census indicates she was born in Prussia. She died on 28 Apr 1874 in Amboy, Indiana, USA, most likely.
