1700's Torbert in Delaware

1700's Torbert in Delaware

Surnames: Torbert, Hawkins
i am going back in time beginning with William Alden Hawkins, who was born in 1800 in Kent County, Delaware, and died in Waxahachie TX. He had two siblings, Elizabeth and Margaret Hawkins 1798 and 1796 respectively both in Kent County, Delaware. Their parents were Rachel Torbet and Peter Hawkins, born 1774 and 1770 respectively in Delaware. I have the name as John Torbet for Rachel's father, that would put him born about 1750+/-. If anyone has any information on this, I would greatly appreciate it.

my info from a Hawkins/Torbert family history is that Elizabeth lived in Pa. and that Margaret m: a McDonald or McDougal? have a 1790 census showing Captain Hawkins and Rachel Torbert family in Duck Creek hundred, De. My family is from William Alden, the son.

I am currently in Delaware researching Peter Hawkins and Rachel Torbet/Torbert. I descend from their son William Alden Hawkins. I will be happy to share what I find.

Nothing materialized in Delaware in April. What source do you have for the birth years of Peter Hawkins and Rachel (To(r)bet, and Rachel's father as John?

I used the census and a family history published by a great uncle.

I would very much like a copy of the family history if it is agreeable to you. Of course, I would cover all expenses. Also would like a copy of the census you used. According to my sparse history of the Hawkins/Torbert family, my ggg grandfather William Alden Hawkins (b. 1800) was the son of Peter Hawkins and Rachel Torbert. I have never been able to verify this. Please contact me directly at mvincent.capecod@verizon.net. Many, many thanks in advance!

To EGraves 6469: Just had a thought. If your family history is from "The Hawkins Line," I have a copy. I still would like to communicate directly re the Hawkins/Torbert family.
