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.
