Biography

Conrad was born in 1741, and died WFT Est. 1786-1833. He married SARAH CATHERINE WILLIAMS Abt. 1759, daughter of THOMAS WILLEMS and NAEIMA. The Hawk/Mowry Family, by Missy Hawk Mowry ^[1]

Conrad Haack (later to be spelled HAWK) b. 1741, was somewhat famous in his day, and several books and articles about Westmoreland County, the early churches of Brush Creek, the early settlements of Pennsylvania, and several Hawk family histories document his life in detail. Nevertheless, the many spellings of Hawk - including Hag, Haag, Haack, Hauk, Hack, Hawks, and other variations, along with the highly common German names of Jurg, George, and Conrad, created some confusion among the families. There was a nearly identical Hawk family in Maryland and a second Conrad Hawk in Pennsylvania with similar dates. It was important to connect the dates and geography to make sure we were following the right Hawks when it came to finding the census records, church records, etc..
