Notes

  • 1850 Federal Census, Murray County, Georgia, 13 November, page 32 (scan p 263), Hse/Fam #1588
    Nancy Harkins 54 [born abt 1796] SC
    Tilman R Harkins  24 M Laborer SC
    Asberry B  21 M Laborer SC

    This family is not found in the 1860 census in Georgia.  The record for the 1860 census for Cherokee County, North Carolina, appears to be the right family, but Tilman's age is reported as only 21 (possibly it is 31, but should be about 34) while in 1850 in Murray County, Georgia, he was 24.  The age is also off for Jane, who was 14 in 1850.

    The birth places for Jane and the children, however, match Jane Elizabeth Terry, daughter Dovina and son John Marshall Harkins.  The ages for the children match other reports on their birth dates.  This 1860 census also reports Tilman's birth place very specifically as Haywood County, North Carolina, while the 1850 reported the state as South Carolina.

    1860 Federal Census, Cherokee County, North Carolina, 15 August, PO Shooting Creek, page 164 (scan p 250), Shooting Creek District, Hse/Fam # 1095
    Tilman Hawkins 21 (31?, cf 24 in 1850)  M Mechanic $200 Personal Estate b Haywood Co NC
    Jane Hawkins 22 F b Murray Co GA
    Dovina Hawkins 4 F b Murray Co GA
    John Hawkins 1 M b Murray Co GA

    Since this birth report is more exact, I will use this as the birth place for Tilman.
