This transcription of the Mary Ann McCormick Hawkins Family Record from her Bible was made by her granddaughter Bessie (Planque) Menges in 1965. Both a hand-written transcription and a typed version (images included here) were notarized and submitted in support of the D.A.R. application made by Bessie's niece Mary Alice (Planque) Long in 1965. The Bible was published in Cincinnati, Ohio, by Morgan & Sanxay in 1835. It was likely obtained close to the Jan. 18, 1838 marriage of the James Hawkins and Mary Ann McCormick. Bessie's mother, Eliza Matilda (Hawkins) Planque (once spelled Planck), had lived with her youngest daughter for many years prior to her death in 1947. Bessie (Planque) Menges was subsequently the custodian of her mother's Bible. Bessie included an explanatory note with the transcription which is also copied here. The current location of this Bible is unknown.
James Hawkins and Mary Ann McCormick married in Rush County, Indiana, on 15 Jan. 1838 in Rush County, Indiana. [1]Before 1840 they moved to Huntington County where they raised their family.
