Did he die in 1816 or in 1818? Bioguide says 1818, is that incorrect? 128.214.205.5 (talk) 16:06, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Need more cites from contemporary sources, not just an 1899 book.Parkwells (talk) 18:38, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's highly unlikely that Hawkins "met Indian chiefs while churning butter". The story was unsourced. That was traditionally women's work, and not only did he have a wife and daughters, but he owned slaves, who were more likely to be doing that kind of work.Parkwells (talk) 19:42, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Often called "the Queen of the Tucabatchee", his wife was an Indian woman. As a great-great-great-grandson of Lavinia Downs, oral history in my line of family believes she was Creek. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WoodyinNYC (talk • contribs) 04:18, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As a reader, I am in need of clarification of the term "line" as used herein to describe some sort of feature between rivers that was secured by Hawkins in an agreement with the Creek people. A waterway, a road or path or railroad bed, and other meanings possible do not seem discernible from context. The link to Georgia state historical records of the "Hawkins Line" do not directly display relevant information about that topic. Can someone please enlighten and improve this article by describing what exactly was the Hawkins Line? 65.129.128.169 (talk) 18:58, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
