I am researching the family of Sanders HAWKINS (b. 1850) and Anna Eliza BURNS. There are a few different Hawkins men having the first name of Sanders also; one was born in 1854 married to Eliza and the other was born in 1859 and was the son of Harry and Harriet. They are more than likely tied together but how I do not know.
Sanders and Anna Eliza had children:
1. William b. May 1880 (m. Minnie MORRISON of Elbert County....my direct line)
2. Edward b. Sept 1883
3. Susan b. May 1885
4. Caroline b. Dec. 1889
5. Annie E. b. Oct. 1896
6. Charles b. June 1898
7. Robert b. abt. 1901
8. Albert b. abt. 1903
Sanders died bet. 1920-30 and Anna Eliza died aft. 1930
