Benjamin HAWKINS

source: Borden line from my own gedcom as Borden ties to Branson. source: "Kegley's Virginia Frontier" "Martha Borden married Benjamin Hawkins (1764) who made a settlement with John Bowyer as guardian to his wife. The residue and best part of the Borden estate was now in the lands of Catawba and to the middle tract there the Hawkinses repaired to live. Hawkins died early leaving wife Martha and children Wm, John, Jas, Borden, Magdalen, Sarah."
