- Notes:
Sources disagree on the year of John Hawkins's death. His tombstone give the year as 1838. Other sources give a later year. Sources also disagree on his place of birth giving either Ohio or Vermont, but Vermont is given most often so is probably correct.
John Hawkin's father is said to have died in the Mexican War around 1846. There was a Private Owen Hawkins, age 29 from Ireland, who died at the Battle of Resaca de la Palma, Texas, on 09 MAY 1846. Perhaps this is John William's father.
