GENERATION 1 |
01. Henry Hawk
was born in 1740 in Montgomery, PA.
The name of his first wife is not known, but his will shows he had a
daughter with her named Catherine who married a Wintermaker. His
second wife was Catherine Wren who was born in 1743 in
Montgomery, PA. He served in the Revolutionary War. Henry died in 1804 in Staunton, Augusta, VA.
Catherine died in 1822 in Staunton.
Children of Henry Hawk
are confirmed by Henry's last will and testament (linked
here).
Some sources show Henry's parents as
Hans Jerg Hawk (Hag) and Catherine Hanselman but I have found no proof
that they ever had a son named Henry.

online sources:

"The History of Brown County Ohio
- 1883", Huntington Township section, p. 499 quotes the following about
his family:
"John Hawk was a Pennsylvanian, and in 1807 settled
on the farm now owned by Owen Griffith. His wife's name was Susan
Crabb, and by her he had the following children: Henry, Phillip, Jacob,
Isaac (died young), John, Abram, William, Nathan, Susan, Sarah, Christena,
Rebecca, Elizabeth and Catharine. Samuel Wilson married Christena
Hawk about the year 1819, and settled on the farm owned by his son
William, near the mouth of Three-Mile Creek. He was a fifer in the
war of 1812, and died about twenty-five years ago; his widow is still
living, eighty-three years old." Note: this book is available

03. Henry
Sabert Hawk,
[1]
son of Johannas and Susanna was born in April 18, 1787 in Fallowfield,
Washington, PA. Baptism records show he was baptised on September 4, 1787
by Johann Wilholn Weber, Pastor of the German Reformed Congregations in
Westmoreland Co. The same record indicates his parents are Johannes
Haack and Susanna.
He married Susannah Flaugher, daughter of Adam Flaugher and
Katherine Ann Hidler on October 6, 1808. According to pension records
Henry served in the War of 1812 having enlisted on February 1, 1813
and discharged on July 12, 1813. Henry died on September 30, 1862 in Hancock, Indiana.
Susannah died on September 10, 1872 in Hancock.

GENERATION
4 |
Note: Based on my families very high number of DNA matches
(over 375) to Henry Sabert Hawk and Johannas Hawk I have determined that the correct parents of David Hawk
(Generation #4) are
Henry Sabert Hawk and Susannah Flaugher.
Please refer to the DNA section at bottom of this page for more
details as well as locations of my DNA matches in red throughout the
generations.
The information in the Slaker book that connects
David to Michael Hawk and Delilah Clevenger was based on earlier
research that did not have the DNA resources we now have. My Dad does not
have any DNA matches from those lines. If you descend from David Hawk
and Eleanor Jones please update any of your genealogical records if you still have Michael
Hawk or Delilah Clevenger in your trees. There are still a number of incorrect trees on Ancestry.com. |

04. David W. Hawk
[1]
The book "Early German
Hawk Families of Westmoreland County, PA" by Kenneth Hawk Slaker
(1990) p. 278 has this history on David. Note that Brown County,
Ohio is likely the correct birthplace for David.
 "David
was born on Sep. 27, 1819 in Madison Township, Fayette County, Ohio. David
Married
Eleanor Jones
who was born October 21, 1820 in Washington County, Ohio. They moved to
Sugar Creek Township, Hancock County, Indiana in the early 1840's. In
1851, they moved further west to Champaign County, Illinois. A land
warrant was issued to David Hawk of Champaign County on the 1st of
February 1853.
In 1872, they moved west again, this time to Iowa. In
the 1880 census of Denison, Crawford, Iowa, David is listed as age 61 and
head of household with occupation listed as carpenter. The same census
lists both his parents being born in Ohio. Another census taken the same
year shows his occupation as "Farmer" with both parents being born in
Pennsylvania! Ten years later in 1882, a final move was made to Buffalo
Co., Nebraska. Eleanor died here on the 5th of September 1890.
David passed away a little over eight years later on the 15th of
December 1898
(at the home of his son Joseph). Both were interned in the cemetery in
Kearney, Nebraska. They had 11 children."
According to granddaughter Grace, David was also a barber.
The parents of Eleanor Jones appear to be Jacob
Jones (1778-1840) and Elizabeth Bell (1778-1873) based on autosomal
research. Their son
Francis Patterson Jones married David's sister
Alice "Ally" Hawk. This connection was determined from Ancestry trees and
over 40 DNA matches to the "Bell" surname that also share matches with the
Hawk family. In addition, Eleanor (listed with husband) is
mentioned in an article published on May 31, 1917 in the Greenfield
Republican showing she is the heir of Jacob Jones along with Francis
and other family members.

children of David and Eleanor are: |

05. Nathaniel Henry Hawk,
[1]
son of David was born on June 18, 1858 in
Champaign,
 Illinois.
In the 1860 Census
he is listed with his family as age 2. At some point he took up the trade
of barber like his father had. Prior to his marriage, he moved to
Armada, Nebraska. He married Anna Irene
Jones on November 24, 1884 in Miller, Nebraska. Records of their
marriage show up in the "Buffalo County, Nebraska Marriages, vol. 2", page
579. Their 4 youngest children were born in Armada. By 1895
they had made the move to Texas by covered wagon. Son Leonard was
born in Blue Ridge in 1895. By the
1900 Census
they
were living in Dallas, Texas. By 1903 they had moved to Portales,
New Mexico where son Eugene was born in 1904. The
1910 Census
shows them in Portales where youngest daughter Ruth was born that year.
They had moved to Vancouver, Washington by 1920 where they show up on the
1920 Census
with
Leonard and Ira showing up next door as another household. The
1930 Census
shows them in the same area. Anna died on February 9, 1936. By
the time of the 1940
Census Nathaniel had remarried Emily Jane. Nathaniel died on August 12, 1944 in Orchard, WA.

06. Grace Myrtle Hawk,
the eldest daughter of Nathaniel
and Anna was born on August
 18, 1885 in Armada, Nebraska.
The index "Oregon, Births and Christenings, 1868-1929" shows
her birth date. By 1895 she made the journey from Nebraska to Texas with
her family in a covered wagon. Her brother Leonard was born in Blue
Ridge, Texas in 1895. They made the move to Portales, New Mexico by
1903. She
married (1) Ernest Schwiening, son
of Friedrich Schwiening and Sophia Schmull on August 5, 1903 and son
Walter was born in 1904. That was the same year her brother Eugene
was born. Her daughter Irene was born in 1908. By the
1910 Census
they had made the move to Oregon. Her sister Ruth was born that year. The
1920 Census
shows Grace aged 34. Daughter Betty was born in 1922. The
1930 Census
shows Grace age 44 living in Corvallis. The
1940 Census
shows Grace age 54 with Ernest age 67 and Paulina age 17. Ernest died on September
15, 1944. She then married (2) Frank Hollis DeKalb and lived with him until
his death on July 29, 1957. She lived by herself for a number of years
in Corvallis
before moving to a nursing home in Salem, Oregon around 1974 to be
closer to her daughter, Irene. She died on December 6, 1984 at age
99.
I descend from their daughter Irene
Schwiening who married William
Marshall.
