    • Notes for Jeffersonia E. Hawkins:

      Jeffersonia claimed to be "the only legitimate daughter" of Benjamin Hawkins and Lavinia Downs, as they married after having the other children (and on what Benjamin thought was his death bed), and after Benjamin Hawkins had written his will.

      Jeffersonia and her husbands, Francis Bacon and Jeremiah G. Harvey, and their son Francis Edmund Bacon, are all buried in the cemtery at Roberta, in Crawford Co., GA.

      Jeffersonia and Francis Bacon were the subjects of a "complaint" by the other survivors and heirs of Benjamin Hawkins and Lavinia Downs, over the estate of Benjamin Hawkins. It seems that much of the estate ended up in Jeffersonia and Francis' hands, and the other heirs sued to receive just compensation. The outcome of the suit is not known to this writer, but the "complaint" can be found at:
