My Hawk ancestors

What's New
I have over 300 confirmed DNA matches to this family - the highest # of all my surnames!
Extended family pages for Generations #2 and #3 are now completed as of 5/1/21
I have over 4165 extended family members for Johannas and over 1630 for Henry.
GENERATION 1
01. Henry Hawk was born in 1740 in Montgomery, PA.  He married Catherine Wren who was born in 1743 in Montgomery, PA.  He served in the Revolutionary War.  Henry died in 1804 in Staunton, Augusta, VA.  Catherine died in 1822 in Staunton. 

This information on the parents of Johannas comes from various websites but primary source material is lacking.  In addition, a lot of trees show Henry's parents as Hans Jerg Hawk (Hag) and Catherine Hanselman but I have found no proof that they ever had a son named Henry. 

The 9 children of Henry and Catherine listed below are compiled from various online sources but are not verified.

GENERATION 2
02. Johannas John Hawk, [1] was born in 1765 in Montgomery, PA.  He married Susanna Krebs (AKA Crabb) in 1784 in Fallowfield, PA.   Johannas died before November 21, 1826 in Huntington, Brown Co., OH.  Susanna died on February 23, 1883 in Huntington. 

John's will: p69, p70, p71.

"The History of Brown County Ohio - 1883", Huntington Township section, p. 499 quotes the following about his family: 

"John Hawk was a Pennsylvanian, and in 1807 settled on the farm now owned by Owen Griffith.  His wife's name was Susan Crabb, and by her he had the following children: Henry, Phillip, Jacob, Isaac (died young), John, Abram, William, Nathan, Susan, Sarah, Christena, Rebecca, Elizabeth and Catharine.  Samuel Wilson married Christena Hawk about the year 1819, and settled on the farm owned by his son William, near the mouth of Three-Mile Creek.  He was a fifer in the war of 1812, and died about twenty-five years ago; his widow is still living, eighty-three years old."  Note: this book is available here for sale as a digital download.  Note: I have many DNA matches for all of the 10 children listed below.  Through shared DNA matches they connect in multiple ways with the "generation 3" matches of Henry Sabert Hawk.

The children of Johannas and Susanna include:

1 Sarah Hawk (Nov 22, 1784 in Washington, PA - Aug 4, 1853 in Highland, OH)

GENERATION 3

03. Henry Sabert Hawk, [1] son of Johannas and Susanna was born in April 18, 1787 in Fallowfield, Washington, PA.  Baptism records show he was baptised on September 4, 1787 by Johann Wilholn Weber, Pastor of the German Reformed Congregations in Westmoreland Co.  The same record indicates his parents are Johannes Haack and Susanna.  He married Susannah Flaugher, daughter of Adam Flaugher and Katherine Ann Hidler on October 6, 1808.  According to pension records Henry served in the War of 1812 having enlisted on  February 1, 1813 and discharged on July 12, 1813.  Henry died on September 30, 1862 in Hancock, Indiana.  Susannah died on September 10, 1872 in Hancock.   Click here to see Henry's pension record showing marriage to Susannah.  Of the 9 known children, 8 of them have descendants who have been confirmed as DNA matches of my Dad's as indicated below.

GENERATION 4
Note: Based on my families very high number of DNA matches (over 300) to Henry Sabert Hawk and Johannas Hawk I have determined that the correct parents of David Hawk (Generation #4) are Henry Sabert Hawk and Susannah Flaugher.  Please refer to the DNA section at bottom of this page for more details as well as locations of my DNA matches in red throughout the generations.
 
The information in the Slaker book that connects David to Michael Hawk and Delilah Clevenger was based on earlier research that did not have the DNA resources we now have. My Dad does not have any DNA matches from those lines.  If you descend from David Hawk and Eleanor Jones please update any of your genealogical records if you still have Michael Hawk or Delilah Clevenger in your trees.  There are still a number of incorrect trees on Ancestry.com.

04. David Hawk [1] The book "Early German Hawk Families of Westmoreland County, PA" by Kenneth Hawk Slaker (1990) p. 278 has this history on David.  Note that Brown County, Ohio is likely the correct birthplace for David.

"David was born on Sep. 27, 1819 in Madison Township, Fayette County, Ohio. David Married Eleanor Jones who was born October 21, 1820 in Washington County, Ohio. They moved to Sugar Creek Township, Hancock County, Indiana in the early 1840's. In 1851, they moved further west to Champaign County, Illinois. A land warrant was issued to David Hawk of Champaign County on the 1st of February 1853.
In 1872, they moved west again, this time to Iowa. In the 1880 census of Denison, Crawford, Iowa, David is listed as age 61 and head of household with occupation listed as carpenter. The same census lists both his parents being born in Ohio. Another census taken the same year shows his occupation as "Farmer" with both parents being born in Pennsylvania! Ten years later in 1882, a final move was made to Buffalo Co., Nebraska. Eleanor died here on the 5th of September 1890. David passed away a little over eight years later on the 15th of December 1898 (at the home of his son Joseph). Both were interned in the cemetery in Kearney, Nebraska. They had 11 children."

According to granddaughter Grace, David was also a barber. 

The parents of Eleanor Jones are not confirmed but they appear to be Jacob Jones (1778-1840) and Elizabeth Bell (1778-1873)
whose son Francis Patterson Jones married David's sister Alice "Ally" Hawk.  This connection is based on Ancestry trees and
many close to 40 DNA matches to the "Bell" surname that also share matches with the Hawk family.
More research is needed to confirm Eleanor's parentage.

Hawk Ancestry.com DNA
Out of all my surnames, my Dad shares the most DNA with the Hawk line through Johannas and Henry Sabert Hawk.  He currently shares DNA with 323 matches that have a known descent from a shared Hawk ancestor.  This is based on some of their Ancestry.com trees, futher research I have done on their lines and triangulation done with other shared DNA matches.  There are also hundreds of additional Hawk DNA matches that cannot be placed at this time but connect to this family.

The known matches include:

21 from Adam Flaugher/Katherine Hidler
168 from Johannas Hawk/Susanna Krebs/Crabb
92 from Henry Sabert Hawk/Susannah Flaugher
25 from David Hawk/Eleanor Jones
17 from Nathaniel Hawk/Anna Irene Jones

 






Shared DNA Matches from the later lines (David & Nathaniel Hawk) connect to matches from the earlier lines many times over leaving no room for doubt that they are related.  Please refer to Henry Sabert Hawk and Johannas Hawk's generations above for more details on where my DNA matches that connect to his children are located.  There are also 50 DNA matches to the Flaugher family and 17 DNA matches to the Krebs family.
yDNA on the Hawk line
At this time the Johannas Hawk branch appears to be a member of the I-M253 Haplogroup based on a recent yDNA test result of a male line Hawk descendant.  This webpage on FamilyTreeDNA shows other Hawks that also share that Haplogroup but their connection to our branch is unknown.  If you descend from Johannas Hawk and you have the Hawk surname I would encourage you to take the yDNA test so we can have more data to work with to determine our Hawk origins.

 

Connection to earlier Hawk Line
I have a number of Hawk DNA matches with confirmed shared matches to my Hawk line.  However, they connect to an earlier Hawk Family:

William Hawk (12 Jan 1687 in Coventry England - England) = Rebecca Pitts (1685-1731)
Isaac Hawk (13 Aug 1735 Coventry, England - aft 1796 in Greenbrier, WV) = Mary Barton (1739-1804)

I don't know if there is a connection at this time but it is still open for more research.
