DECENDENTS OF ISSAC HAWKINS THE HAWKINS FAMILY SEEMS TO HAVE APPEARED FROM NOWHERE. SO PERHAPS IF I SHARE WHAT I HAVE, IT WILL HELPFUL TO OTHERS ON THE TRAIL. In Mc Nairy, Co., Tenn. John Henry's daughter married Elizabeth Jane Burton. It was here that the first of their children were born. Drury; meanwhile married Nancy Sewell, and had his first son, John Larkin Hawkins. Drury was known as the boxing champion of McNairy County. As he was loading up the wagon for their move to Arkansas; a fellow road up, and challenged Drury to a boxing match. He wanted to be the undisputed boxing champion of Mc Nairy, Co. The fight went on for a number of hours---but Drury left Mc Nairy, Co., Tenn. as the champion still. By 1852 the Hawkins and Burton families has settled in Arkansas; near the Missouri border. Drury's first wife had died and in 1852 he married a daughter of John Henry Burton, Mary E. Burton. Mary and Drury started the business of raising a family and establishing theirselves in the community. Drury did the clearing of land and farming. Mary carded wool and made finished clothes, which she sold at the local stores. Sometimes she traded the clothes for whiskey.
By the time the War of Rebellion broke out, they were established in the community. They held pig roasts for all comers when the travelling minister came around. Drury joined the 15th Mo. Cavalry and served his South during the war. Mary carried on with the farmwork and all the other chores. Once she had to cross Union lines and obtain salt for the community. The Union soldiers were always coming in and out of the community of Siloam, Ark. Once they raided while the community was in church and hauled all the young men away as prisoner.

But I never been able to figure out when they married and what her last name was. But by 1850 they had three children Samantha J., Curtis, and Mathhew J.
