ZADOCK HAWKINS Book Information

401. William Perry⁵ WAY (Mary Jane⁴ HAWKINS, Zadock³ HAWKINS, Zadock² HAWKINS, Zadock¹ HAWKINS) was born on 3 Aug 1857 in Indiana, USA. He appeared on the 1860 U.S. Census in North Bend Twp., Starke Co., Indiana.

He was married to Louisa MURPHY in 1877 in Putnam Co., Illinois, most likely. William and Louisa appeared on the 1880 U.S. Census living with William's mother, Mary Jane in Magnolia Twp., Putnam Co., Illinois. William appeared alone on the 1900 U.S. Census in Detroit Twp., Pike Co., Illinois. Although that census listed him as single, above the "S" for "single " was a "W" for "widowed" which had been crossed out. In the column beside the one indicating his marital status the column listing the number of years married had a "22" recorded which had also been crossed out. This suggests he and Louisa divorced. Louisa MURPHY was born about 1857 in Illinois, USA. The 1880 Census gives her name as Eliza. William Perry WAY and Louisa MURPHY had the following children:

1147 i. Charles⁶ WAY was born about 1879. He appeared on the 1880 U.S. Census with his parents living in the home of his father's mother, Mary Jane Way, in Magnolia Twp., Putnam Co., Illinois.
