Vol.XIII No. 7 July 1982, p 92-61 FROM THE ASHEVILLE CITIZEN-TIMES.com Pioneers are buried at Biltmore Estate By Dorothy Gillum Bryant SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN-TIMES June 3, 2007 12:15 am Benjamin Hawkins (1762¡V1827) of present Biltmore Estate and James Hawkins (about 1770¡V1829) of Turkey Creek, were early pioneers in Buncombe County and qualifying ancestors for First Families of Old Buncombe since they were here by 1800. L. Holt Felmet Jr. gives credit to the late Asheville resident Sidney Hawkins for finding the lineage of Benjamin Hawkins. Using the names that Benjamin Hawkins gave his sons proved to be the vital link. One of these names was Littleberry, which was the maiden name of the wife of a William Hawkins in Virginia. Using this clue Sidney Hawkins found the family Bible and last will and testament of William Hawkins in Campbell County, Va. In that will, William leaves money to sons named Benjamin and James. Longtime researcher Dorothy Hawkins, widow of Sidney E. Hawkins, had already come to believe that the Benjamin and James Hawkins found in early Buncombe County were brothers based on her research of court records. She also discovered that Benjamin Hawkins of Buncombe County had used the same names for his sons as the William Hawkins did in Virginia. Recently, a Hawkins DNA project has shown that, indeed, James and Benjamin were descended from a common ancestor because of the matching DNA of their male descendants. While DNA cannot determine thatthey were brothers, other evidence points to that fact. Benjamin Hawkins was an important figure in early Buncombe County. In Sondley's History of Buncombe County, North Carolina,¡¨ he is named as one of three commissioners appointed to contract with workmen to erect the necessary public buildings in the new county. Benjamin and his wife, Hannah (her maiden name is thought to be Chambers), had 13 children. Twelve of these children lived to adulthood and, of these, 10 migrated to Georgia. The two oldest, Mary (1790 ¡V 1844) and John (1792 ¡V1818), stayed in North Carolina. Mary married Robert Murray and John married Mary aka Polly Smith. Both Holt Felmet and Sidney Hawkins descend from Benjamin Hawkins through his son, John. Tradition says the pioneer James Hawkins married the daughter of a William Forster who gave land for the Newton Academy. Benjamin's children were educated in this school. The Hawkins burying ground is one of five known burying grounds on what is now the Biltmore Estate. In 2004, 75 people attended a ceremony to dedicate a large marker at the graves of Benjamin and Hannah Chambers Hawkins. Their children are listed on the marker. The descendants who had gathered at the ceremony thanked The Biltmore Co. ¡§for all of their efforts to preserve the rich history of the early pioneer settlers who lived on the lands that are now under their stewardship. There is an annual Hawkins family reunion.

Jim schuf die Find A Grave Website im Jahr 1995, weil er keine bestehende Website finden konnte, welche sein Hobby, den Besuch von Gräbern berühmter Persönlichkeiten, ermöglichte. Er fand, dass es viele tausend Leute auf der ganzen Welt geben würde, dieseine Interessen teilten. Was als seltsames Hobby begann, wurde zu einer Lebensaufgabe und Leidenschaft. Aufzubauen und zu sehen, wie Find A Grave über seine kühnsten Erwartungen wuchs, war für Jimungeheuer befriedigend. Jeden Tag gaben Mitwirkende aus der ganzen Welt neue Datensätze ein, tausende verwendeten die Website als Bildungs-Nachschlagewerk, lange verlorengegblaubte Verwandte wurdenwiedergefunden und Millionen von Menschenleben bleiben in guter Erinnerung. In welcher anderen Art von Arbeit hätte Jim einer der letzten lebenden Munchkins getroffen, vort einer Versammlung von Grab-Enthusiasten in einem Hollywood-Mausoleum gesprochen und Schätze erworben, wie seinen antiken Sarg-Schraubendreher (nur zum Einschrauben)? |
