Sarah Jane*
- (my great, great grandmother) was born 9
February 1846 in Washington County, Missouri. She was the
daughter of
 Mary
Jane Dickey and William Hawkins. Sarah Jane was first married
to Brad Dicus & had six children. After Sarah Jane & Brad Dicus divorced Jane married
Daniel Martin. They had five
children. Sarah Jane Hawkins Dicus Martin died 6 Dec. 1912 & is buried in Shoal
Creek Cemetery, Huzzah, CrawfordCoMo next to her second husband
Daniel Martin.
My mother told me numerous times while I was
growing up that her father, Guy Martin, always said that we were
part Indian. Guy Martin,
brother of Ida Martin Cooper.
They were both grand children of Sarah Jane through her daughter
Margie. Aunt Idie also told me several times during the years
that I knew her that "Jane Hawkins was part Indian." But
unfortunately she did not know or could not remember the name of the
tribe. Marie Cooper Bersche, aunt Idie's daughter told me a
couple of times that the tribe was
Blackfoot
but I'm not certain that this is correct & would still like some
corroboration if possible. Another distant cousin said she thought
maybe it was Cherokee but she wasn't for sure. Also another relative
says she was told that the tribe was Osage.
I was told by another relative that Jane had
psychic abilities (premonitions). I was also told that Jane
was very mean to her step-daughter, Mary
(Polly) Martin. Polly was epileptic & Jane supposedly
would not let her sleep in the house with the rest of the family but
instead made her sleep out on the back porch.
Children of
Sarah Jane Hawkins & Brad Dicus:
 Mary Elizabeth
- Born 1867 in Missouri. Married Thomas Coke Wright 19 Dec.
1886 at Davisville, Crawford County, Missouri. Died
circa 1897 & believed to be buried at
Lost Creek
Cemetery, Hwy. 8, Washington County, Missouri.
Margie Frances*
was
born 14 Dec. 1868 in WashCoMo. She was first married to Jesse F. Henslee
in
1887 &
had  a daughter. Second to
her step-brother
James Marion
Martin*; in 1892 & had six children. She was
supposedly married a third time somewhere in southern
Missouri near Arkansas but got divorced & changed
her name back to Martin. Margie died 16 Nov. 1955 in
WashCoMo. & is buried in the New Masonic Cemetery, Potosi.
There is no tombstone but her grave is located on the east
edge of the cemetery about half way up the hill.
Margie smoked a corn cob pipe & I was told that while
residing at Irondale she maintained a still. Margie
had psychic abilities )premonitions) a trait she inherited
from her mother, Jane Hawkins, who was supposed to be part
Indian (Native American). Margie also told peoples
fortunes by reading tea leaves in the bottoms of tea cups &
many of her predictions came true. Her favorite
expression was, "Why its a sin to the crickets &
grasshoppers!" She loved to dance & could not keep still
whenever she heard "dancin music".
Comment about being part Indian:
Hi there! I just wanted to share
with you that I've always been told that Margie
Dicus Martin was part Osage Indian. I was reading
your comments and wanted to share. :) PS-I'm
related to Olive Martin Have a nice day!

RICHARD
HAWKINS* - In Feb. 2009 I found on Ancestry.com that someone had
submitted that Richard Hawkins, b: 1780 in Va., was the father of
William Hawkins. There was no other information provided. In
Nov. 2010 I found on Ancestry that Richard's wife was Lydia A.
Trimble & that in 1830 Richard was living in York, Virginia.
Wondering how correct the Lydia A. Trimble part is as I have her
marrying Joseph Hawkins (son of Wm. - see above) in 1874 in
WashCoMo.
