My 2-gr-grandfather, T.R. Hawkins, lived in Orange County, Virginia all of his life according to his obit. There is no doubt about the fact that T.R. had two best buddies: his uncle, Benjamin Hawkins and Coleman Marshall. Benjamin and Coleman were brother-in-laws. Benjamin was married to Mary/Polly Bickers and Coleman was married to Mary/Polly's sister, Joanna Bickers. When Benjamin was involved in founding the Zion Baptist Church in orange County, both Coleman and T.R. were present. Every time any one of these men went to the courthouse, the other two men went along as a witness. When Benjamin died in 1851
