Notes:

"Mandy served as postmistress of Wilhan, a temporary post office in the vicinity of Old Salem. She had sheep cut, spun, dyed and wove the wool to make her clothing & used a 28 gauge shotgun with accuracy. She lived in an old homeplace in Old Salem, now just across the road from Camp Bill Stark....Tony and Amanda had 5 daughters, all of whom lived in the Call area. Georgia, Ola, Trudy, Laura and Paul Jones (we called her Paulie). All 5 married, two, Laura and Trudy died young. I believe I was told it was of "consumption." Ola married Clarence Wightman, a lawyer, partner of Handcock, and they had three children, Tom, Ola Amanda and George. All married, moved away and had their families away from this area. Paulie married & divorced Royal McMahon, she had one daughter, Mary Lynn, who married and lived until her death in Alaska" (email from Phyllis Martin .

Thomas married Sarah Ann "Lizzie" Hawthorne on 10 Aug 1865. Sarah (daughter of Joshua Timothy Hawthorne and Martha Kelley) was born on 9 Aug 1843 in Decatur County, Georgia; died after 1872 in Newton County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
It appears that Sarah may have died sometime between the birth of her youngest son, Buck, and the 1880 Federal Census. In 1880, Thomas Holmes was shown as married to a Teresa, born in Georgia, and with two younger children, Mary and Laura.

Notes:

The son of William Hawthorne and Meleachy Cliborn. (Barbara Smith). Listed in the "1840 Decatur County Georgia Census Index " (Frances T. Ingmire, Mountain Press).

Per the 1850 online Decatur County, GA census:

681 681
Hawthorn J. T. 37 M Farmer 1,000GA
Hawthorn Martha 32 F GA
Hawthorn Elvina 12 F GA
Hawthorn Wm. 10 M GA
Hawthorn Elizabeth 8 F GA
Hawthorn Malacon7 M GA
Hawthorn Lethia 4 F GA
Hawthorn Joshua 1 M GA

How, if at all, is he related to the family of W. B. and Elizabeth Hawthorn (1850 Decatur census, #837) and Mrs. N. Hawthorn (1850 Decatur census, #838)?

Joshua Timothy was the son of William Hawthorn and Meleachy Cliburn. William did serve in the Rev. War and I have proved his service. This is the same Hawthorn that the "Hawthorne Trail" in Florida and GA is named for as he moved there and settled that area.

According to newspaper accounts of the Hawthorne family, after Joshua Timothy died, Martha took all of her children and came to Texas with her two brothers, Joe and Lump, but no other information was given. This may not be true as I see you show that they died in GA or perhaps they did not stay in Texas but went back. I can send you more info on who they married if you are interested but I thought this since this is just a branch off your tree, you might not need that much information. If you do, will send it along.

Lizzie Hawthorne married my gr. grandfather, Thomas Harrison Holmes. We live today where they lived and raised their children. As you can see, the Hawthornes were rather prolific. They all married here and in this are of Texas (Newton-Jasper Counties), the world is full of Hawthornes.
