NOTES: "History of Boone Co, MO" pg 362 shows Harrison Hawkins left in 1850 for California. His father's will shows him in Chariton County, MO. "HISTORY OF HOWARD AND CHARITON COUNTIES", pg 958: cooper. Mr Hawkins belongs to a Kentucky branch of the family whose name he bears, one of the oldest families in Virginia. His grandfather, Elijah Hawkins, became a pioneer settler in Kentucky prior to the beginning of the present century, and there his son James, who had come out with his parents from Virginia, was married to Miss Nancy White (Tomblin?), of the Blue Grass State. Harrison Hawkins was the third of a family of seven children resulting from this union, and was born in Madison county, Kentucky, February 28th, 1813. When he was eleven years of age (1824) his parents removed to Missouri, making the journey on the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, to the town of Old Franklin, in Howard county, by keelboat, and were on the two months and seven days. They settled in Boone county where Harrison grew to manhood. The son developed a spirit of enterprise as great as that of his pioneer ancestors. The Florida war offered an opportunity for him to gratify this dispostion. In 1836 he joined the army operating in the wilds of the Flowery Peninsula and did gallant service for his country in that struggle. Returning then to Missouri, he was employed in the pursuits of peace until the Mexican War broke out, when he again shouldered his musket to battle for the old flag. He was under the command of Sterling Price, afterwards the noble old pater patroe of Missouri, but at that time "a youth to fortune and fame unknown." He spent about a year and a half in the land of the cactus and greaser, until the starry banner floated in triumph over the ancient capital of the Montezumas. Aside from military service Mr Hawkins was engaged in farming up to 1844, but after this he turned his attention to coopering which he has since followed. Away back in 1835, on the 7th of June, he was married to Miss Dephus Tipton, originally of Madison county, Kentucky, but of a pioneer family of this State, for whom the town of Tipton was named. Though it is nearly fifty years since they were married, the grave has not come between, and in the twilight of old age they still continue the journey of life together, looking forward with pleasure to the day, not far distant, when they will celebrate their golden wedding. They have four children living, all now the parents of families: Amanda, now Mrs J A Applegate; Mary E, the wife of Lewis M Applegate; Alice Z, now Mrs M H Holcomb, and Fannie L, the wife of Mr C B Shaefer. Four are in the repose of the grave: James, Laura, Odea and an infant. Mr Hawkins, the venerable old veteran, and his good wife are members of the Baptist Church.
