Hello; According to the 1870 census, Franklin Hawk's middle (or first) name was Thomas, which strengthens your case. The siblings for Thomas Hawk in the 1880 census are Josephine Hawk, possibly born in January 1879, and Susan Willie (Wilhelmina?) Hawk, shown as Susan on the 1870 census of Randolph with father Thomas and mother Jane. I got the Josephine Hawk info from Ancestry.com's World family tree connect, but the submitter does not appear to be closely related to the Hawk family and likely does not have further information. If you would like his email address, you can contact me directly at g e n s e a r c h e r s @ s h a w . c a and I will email it to you. The submitter lists Thomas Franklin Hawk Jr and Catherine Summerford as Franklin's parents, so the name Thomas was definitely a family tradition.
