WILLIAM HAWKINS
WHEN hostilities between America and Great Britain opened for a second time in 1812, the Governor of North Carolina was William Hawkins, a native of the county of Bute, and a citizen of the county of Granville at the time of his election as Chief Magistrate. Two years after the birth of Governor Hawkins the name of Bute County was expunged from the map, and its territory divided into the counties of Warren and Franklin. This action—taken while the Revolutionary War was in progress—was done to perpetuate the names of two honored patriots in lieu of that of Lord Bute, one of the ministers of King George. Upon the division of Bute, Warren County became the home of the Hawkins family. This family had stamped its name on the history of North Carolina long before William Hawkins added to its honors. Governor Hawkins was a son of Colonel Philemon Hawkins, Jr. (subject of one of the preceding sketches), and his wife, Lucy Davis.
William Hawkins was born on the l0th of October, 1777, and was reared at Pleasant Hill, his father's seat in Warren County. His early childhood was passed in the troublous times of our War for Independence, but comparative quiet reigned in his native county, for "there were no Tories in Bute." After receiving a good preliminary education, he took up the study of law in Granville County under Judge John Williams. About the time he be-came of age, his uncle, Colonel Benjamin Hawkins, invited him to make his home at Fort Hawkins, Georgia, and offered him the office of Assistant Indian Agent. This office young Hawkins accepted, and left North Carolina for his new home in the month of December, 1797. After two years spent at the Agency, William Hawkins grew tired of the Indian country, and longed for his native State. At the suggestion of his uncle, however, he decided first to spend several years at Philadelphia, and there renew the study of law, besides perfecting himself in French and other branches of knowledge.
Many of the friends made by Benjamin Hawkins while a member of the Continental Congress and Senate at Philadelphia were still residents of that city, so his favorite nephew did not go as an unknown stranger to Pennsylvania's metropolis.
In 1801 young Hawkins returned to his native State, a finished scholar and a man of affairs. About a year after his arrival, Governor Turner made use of his experience in the Indian country by entrusting to his management the settlement of some troubles with the Tuscaroras. In 1804 William Hawkins was elected to represent Warren County in the North Carolina House of Commons; he was re-elected to the same post in 1805, his colleague being his father, Colonel Philemon Hawkins, Jr. At the sessions of 1809, 1810 and 1811 he represented Granville County in the North Carolina House of Commons. The House of Commons for
1810 elected him Speaker; he was also Speaker of the House in
1811 (November 9th) ; but during the latter session, on December 7th, he was elected Governor of North Carolina. Two days later, on December 9th, he was duly inaugurated. He was twice re-elected—serving three annual terms in all—and retired on December 7, 1814, when Governor William Miller qualified.
Nearly the whole of the second war with Great Britain fell within the administration of Governor Hawkins. On the 23d of June, 1812, an express messenger reached Raleigh, announcing the declaration of war. In his message to the General Assembly (November 18, 1812), Governor Hawkins said:
"The insolence, the injustice and the complicated aggressions on the part of that nation [Great Britain] towards the United States not only afforded our Government abundant cause of an appeal to arms long before the period when that event took place, but seemed in the most commanding 'terms to call for the adoption of that alternative in order to convince the enemy and the world that we possessed the will and the power to maintain and defend that liberty and independence which emanated from and were secured to us by the glorious struggles of our
Revolutionary fathers Let England be taught to know that the present race of Americans are not of spurious origin—that they are the legitimate offspring of the heroes of our Revolution. She will then respect our rights, and the savage warwhoop will cease to terrify the defenceless inhabitants of our extensive frontiers."
Later on in this message Governor Hawkins stated that in the preceding April the President had directed him to detach from the militia of the State seven thousand men (including officers) for service when needed. This quota had been raised, said he, and consisted nearly altogether of volunteers, while many companies throughout the State were asking to be sent into the field whenever needed.
On hearing that a landing on our seacoast had been effected in July, 1813, Governor Hawkins left Raleigh on the igth of that month, accompanied by his aide-de-camp, Colonel Beverly Daniel, and the Wake Dragoons under Major Thomas Henderson, while General Calvin Jones preceded him with another detachment of troops. After inspecting the defences in the vicinity of New- Bern and then going to other points along our coast region, Governor Hawkins returned to Raleigh on August 20th, and later sent a report of his observations to the Secretary of War.
In his message of November 17, 1813, to the General Assembly, Governor Hawkins referred to the efforts for peace, saying:
"If we weaken ourselves by cherishing internal divisions; if we exhibit ourselves to the enemy as a nation composed of two hostile parties, each endeavoring to destroy the other, we shall place that object at a distance from us. Great Britain, presuming upon our weakness, thus produced, will not only be more obstinate, but will be encouraged to indulge her ambition and arrogance. Is there an instance recorded where British rapacity has yielded to the supplications of the weak? We cannot expect that nation, whose Government is so hostile to ours, will ever grant us peace as a boon. Every American citizen, therefore, who is anxious that it should be restored, will deem it his imperative duty to give his support to the vigorous prosecution of the war as the only effectual means of obtaining it."
The Adjutant-General of North Carolina (Robert Williams, of Surry) on November 24, 1813, reported that the State militia numbered 51,298 officers and men. At that time all able-bodied citizens were required to attend musters and were considered a part of the militia.
In his message of November 23, 1814, to the last Legislature which met during his administration, Governor Hawkins continues to pour forth his defiance against the enemy and to invoke a spirited resistance to the unjust demands of England. After recounting some of the incidents of the war, he says:
"When we view the effect which these outrages, and the arrogant and insulting demands of the British Government as the conditions of peace, have produced upon the two great contending parties of our country, we find real cause of exultation. The eyes of all are opened. The character of the enemy stands exposed. Party prejudices and distinctions are done away. The love of country predominates. That determined spirit which animated and nerved the arms of our Revolutionary fathers in achieving the liberty and independence which we now enjoy, pervades this extensive Continent. The resolution is now formed to bring into action the united energies of the nation to chastise our perfidious and insolent foe, and to compel him to abandon his iniquitous pretensions and give us peace upon honorable terms."
Speaking of events in North Carolina, the Governor went on to say in this message:
"Since the adjournment of the last Assembly the enemy in small plundering parties have made a few hasty incursions on the seacoast, but none of a character to render it necessary or even allow time to call out the local militia. One company, however, was ordered on duty for a short time to relieve a detachment of militia drafts which had garrisoned Fort Hampton, and whose term of service was about to expire. This company was subsequently recognized as being in the service of the United States by Colonel Long, of the United States Army, commanding in this State, who received their returns and informed me they would be paid. Several detachments of the requisition of the General Government have, however, been called into service. In the early part of the year a regiment under the command of Colonel Jesse A. Pearson marched to the Creek Nation to aid in suppressing the hostile part of these Indians. I had the gratification to learn from the commanding general, and it gives me pleasure to communicate to the Legislature, that this regiment—in point of discipline, soldier-like demeanor, and promptness in the execution of every command that was given them—could not have been surpassed by any troops who have been no longer in the service. After their term of service had expired, they were marched to this State, received their pay, and were honorably discharged. Another regiment is now in the service of this State, a third at Norfolk, Virginia, and a fourth is ordered to rendezvous on the 28th inst. to reinforce the garrison of 'that place." '
As heretofore noted, the third and last administration of Governor Hawkins ended on December 7, 1814. On the 24th of the same month a Treaty of Peace was signed at Ghent, and hostilities ceased when news of this event reached America.
The erection of the Governor's mansion, which formerly stood at the southern end of Fayetteville Street in Raleigh, but which has since been demolished, was begun during the administration of Governor Hawkins; and his successor, Governor Miller, was its first occupant. As late as December, 1815, the building committee reported to the State Senate: "The edifice intended for the Governor's dwelling is not yet completed."
For many years—from 1803 until his death in 1819—Hawkins was one of the trustees of the University of North Carolina, and was ex-oMcio President of the Board during his term as Governor.
About the year 1805, some years before his election to the office of Governor, William Hawkins removed from Warren to Gran- ville County, and took up his residence on a plantation on Nut- bush Creek, not far from the town of Williamsboro. Previous to this time, on the 24th of December, 1803, he had been united in marriage with Ann Swepson Boyd. To this union were born seven children. They were: Emily, who married James Nuttall; Matilda, who married Doctor Joseph Nuttall; Lucy, who first married Doctor Littleton W. Coleman, and afterwards Honorable Henry W. Connor, M.C.; William, who married Miss Carson;Celestia, who married Junius Amis; Henrietta, who married Junius Amis after the death of her sister, who was his first wife; Mary Jane, who married Major Benjamin Morrow.
As heretofore noted, William Hawkins spent some of his early years at the Indian Agency in Georgia, as assistant to his uncle, Colonel Benjamin Hawkins. A younger brother of William was Captain Philemon Hawkins, who served in the Army of the United States during the second war with Great Britain, and was honorably mustered out on June 15, 1815. At the urgent desire of his uncle, this young gentleman went to the Creek Agency at Fort Hawkins, but died soon after, March 22, 1817. Colonel Benjamin Hawkins himself had died before this, on the 6th of June, 1816, leaving a large fortune to his wife and children, with the further provision that a child's share should go to his nephew William, who was appointed executor. Governor Hawkins generously declined this legacy, but qualified as his uncle's executor. After this he made visits to Georgia for the purpose of winding up the estate; but being attacked with a pulmonary disease, he himself did not long survive. His death occurred at Sparta, Georgia, on the i7th of May, 1819, while returning from Fort Hawkins to North Carolina.
The career of Governor Hawkins forms an interesting chapter in the history of North Carolina, filling as he did the highest office in the State at the time of America's second war with Great Britain. In the discharge of his duties he united the wisdom of a statesman with the firmness, energy and incorruptibility of a patriot. Nature endowed him with a pleasing countenance and graceful figure, but denied him the robust constitution which usually marked the members of his family. He was brave when bravery was needed, but the "small sweet courtesies of life" shone brightly in his daily intercourse. Of his ancestry he was proud, but it was a quiet, wholesome pride, far removed from arrogance, and a stimulus to high thoughts, gentle manners and generous actions.

Towards the end of his life he mainly played old favorite hymns and was known to play for people wherever he went. His passion in life was his wife and family; and serving his Lord.

William “Billy” Church (1816—1889)
William Church, born 16 Aug 1816 in Hawkins County, Tn., was the grandson of John Christian and Eleanor Church. John Christian Church purchased land in Hawkins Co. from John Galbreath on 5 Jan 1797 (Deed Book I, p. 183). Parents of William Church were Henry C. and Mary Olive Surginer Church.
Their family of 12 children were:
Thomas, William, Matilda, Sarah,
George, Enoch, Henry C., Malvina,
Emaline, Almira, Patience, Elizabeth Ann.
About 1839, William married Isabel Payne, daughter of Enoch and Sarah England Payne. In 1844, the family found themselves in the newly formed Hancock Co. Children of this union were: Sarah Ann, married John Edens; Hiram, married Laura Horton; George, married Susanna McConnell Ford; Mary, married James Edens; Rebecca Ann, married Ezekiel H. Barrett; Rosanna, married James Lawson; Eliza, married Thomas Horton; Almira, married Zachariah Fugate Palmer.
Isabel Payne Church died, age 39, in December 1859 of consumption (TN Mortality Sched. 1850—60—80). After her death, William Church married Martha “Patsy” Allen on 15 May 1861 (Hawkins County Marriage Records). Their children: Alleany Adeline, married Isaac Palmer; Ellen, married William L. Palmer; Malvina, married John Palmer; Thomas, married Hanna Davis. Four Church daughters had married four Palmer sons, resulting in many double cousins.
Almira Church, daughter of William and Isabel, was born 7 Oct 1857 —— only 2 years when her mother died. She married Zachariah “Zach” Palmer, son of William H. and Sarah Fields Palmer, about June 1878, possibly in Scott County, VA where they continued to reside.
Each and Almira Palmer had two children: William Ransom, born 17 March 1879; and Rosa Annie Rose”, born 10 Jan 1881. William was ag. two and Rose was five months when Almira Church Palmer died 1 July 1881, age 23, probably from childbirth complications. She is buried in the Palmer Cemetery, Scott Co., VA.
No doubt rescuing the bereaved young widower, Grandpa 8i11yw and Aunt Alleany Church took little Rose, who remained in their loving home until she was seven. She returned to her fathers home after Zach Palmer married Ellen McConnell, 28 Jan 1886, and re—established his family.
William Church died 4 Aug 1889 and is buried on the old John Palmer place, Hancock County, on the north side of
Clinch River (information from Mabel Harp, Wagoner, OK).
Rome Palmer married Walter Carson Barrett, son of Thomas 0. and Nancy Derrick Barrett, 2 Feb 1902 in Scott County, VA. (See William Nelson Barrett Family history for additional data.)

Wilma Dykeman lived all her life near the French Broad River in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. Born in Asheville, she was the only child of a mother whose people had lived in the North Carolina mountains since the eighteenth century. She traced her interest in writing to the stories her parents read aloud to her when she was a child. By the time she was in elementary school, she was making up her own stories, plays, and poems. After graduating from high school and Biltmore Junior College in Asheville, the author went to Northwestern University for a bachelor's degree in speech.
The summer after graduation, she met and married James R. Stokely, Jr., of Newport, Tennessee, a poet and nonfiction writer. The Stokelys, who maintained homes in both Asheville and Newport, collaborated on several books, including Neither Black Nor White (1957), a personal view of integration in the South; Seeds of Southern Change (1976), about race relations; and Prophet of Plenty (1966), a biography of W.D. Weatherford, a Southern leader who worked for racial peace and justice. They also shared interests in book collecting and apple growing. Stokely died in 1977.
Wilma Dykeman's first writings were radio scripts and short stories, which she followed with articles for Harper's, the New York Times Magazine, Reader's Digest, and other periodicals. In all, she published more than sixteen books. The French Broad (1955), one of the famous "Rivers of America" series, was completed in a year but represents a lifetime of observation and note-taking. It recounts the history, legend, biography (such as the chapter on Thomas Wolfe), sociology, and economics of a mountain region that draws its life and ways from this stream and its tributaries. The book entertainingly relates a dozen or so memorable stories usually omitted from standard histories, such as the search for Professor Elisha Mitchell's body on the mountain that bears his name, the cutting of the Swannanoa tunnel, and the coming of the Vanderbilts to western North Carolina.
Her critically acclaimed novels especially reflect her understanding of people in the North Carolina mountains. The Tall Woman (1966), which, like all of her books, has gone through numerous printings, tells of a determined mother's fight for education and justice in the years after the Civil War. The Far Family (1966) picks up several generations later and shows how long-lasting her efforts were.
Return the Innocent Earth (1973) is loosely based on the fact that her husband belonged to the farming family that established the mammoth Stokely canning company. The book fictionally depicts the internecine contention between family members who want to remain true to the soil and those who are contemptuous of everything except the money generated by the canning company. Look to This Day (1969) is a book about her own life and convictions. In 1976 came Tennessee: A Bicentennial History. The writer also collaborated with her two sons on two books.
Dykeman's many honors included a Guggenheim Fellowship and the 1985 North Carolina Award for Literature. She held the honorary title of Tennessee State Historian from 1981 until she died. A popular lecturer, she taught a spring course for many years at the University of Tennessee. Sally Buckner relates in her anthology Our Words, Our Ways that: "Ms. Dykeman urges students to learn to listen and look at the world with keen eyes and ears, then apply themselves diligently. She also draws a keen distinction between aptitude and attitude. 'The talent comes from developing the aptitude,' she has said. 'The writer comes from developing the attitude.'" | Dykeman, Wilma (I2063)
