The Children of John Hanks
78. Mott10 HANKS (John9, William8, William7, Thomas6, Thomas5, Thomas4, Thomas3, George2, John1) was born April 21, 1742 in Richmond Co., VA[1] and married Mary ? circa 1773.[2] Mott
married Susannah ? circa 1790 and died January 3, 1821 in Dobbs Co., NC, at age
78.[3]
“When
the 1790 census of N.C. was taken Mott was living in Dobbs Co. with 1 male over
16, himself; 2 males under 16 and 4 females. He had a family of 8 children,
according to R. T. Hanks, so some must have been away from home or deceased.
Dobbs
Co. was carved up into three cos.: Wayne, Green, and Lenoir. The court houses at Kinston and Snow Hill
have burned and Mott's name is not found on the C.H. records at Goldsboro, so
not much can be known about him. There is a record where he furnished a gun to
the service of the Rev. War in 1790.”[4]
Mary ?
was born circa 1745.
Children of Mott10 Hanks and Mary ? were as follows:
118.
i. Nathan Hanks;
born February 28, 1774.[5]
119.
ii. Woodman Hanks;
born November 1, 1775.[6]
120. iii. Isaac Hanks;
born February 22, 1776.[7]
121. iv. Lucy
Hanks; born October 1, 1778.[8]
122. v. Nancy
Hanks; born June 21, 1780.[9]
123. vi. Elijah
Hanks; born December 2, 1781.[10]
124. vii. Lucky Hanks;
born May 17, 1783.[11]
125. viii. Cotton Hanks; born January 28, 1786.[12]
Susannah ? was born circa 1742.
There
were no children of Mott10 Hanks and Susannah ?.
79. John10 HANKS (John9, William8, William7, Thomas6, Thomas5, Thomas4, Thomas3, George2, John1) was born circa 1745 in VA[13] and married Mary Dawson circa 1770 in prob.
Richmond Co., VA.[14]
“In
1790 he had 9 in his family, probably including his parents; for on Dec. 28,
1793, John Sr. deeded to John Jr. 100 a. on the N. side Neuce River.
aaabb John Hanks: The identity of John Hankses without clues
is doubtful. If the John Hanks, who m. Mary Dawson and lived in Hopkins Co.
Ky. after 1800 was the son of John
& Mary Mott Hanks, as the evidence fits but does not confirm, he was
probably born after his parents had moved from the North Farnham Parish, for
his birth is not registered as are the births of two of his brothers.
He was
in Dobbs Co. N.C. by Sept. 8. 1776. (D.B. 5 E, p 62) Dobbs Co., as an
administrative unit, disappeared with the creation of Green, Wayne, and Lenoir
Cos. The county records of both Greene and Lenoir, at Snow Hill and Kinston,
were destroyed by fire, and it is not possible to trace the family of John &
Mary Mott Hanks there.
At the
Wayne Co. C.H. there is fortunately a single entry in the Hanks name. As above
stated; John Senr. deeded to John Junr. land he acquired in 1776. No wife
joined in the deed.
Presumably; the John Hanks Sr. who appeared in now Hopkins Co., Ky.,
just after 1800, is the John Hanks Junr. of Wayne Co., N.C., and the John Hanks
Jr. of Ky. is his son and the grandson of old John back in N.C.
Mr.
David Walter Gatlin, who wrote, "Founders of the Gatlin Family"
states that the Joshua Hanks, who m. Easter Gatlin, came from N.C., and that
the Gatlins came from Tenn. Another member of the Gatlin family, Velma Dean
Manns (Mrs. Malcolm) also had a Hanks ancestor, Sarah, who m. Wm. Gatlin in
N.C. Miss Emily Hanks Marshall of Seattle,
who has done some research on her family states that they came to Kentucky from
Duplin Co., N.C. Duplin Co. adjoins
both Wayne and Lenoir Cos. So the inference is that the Hankses of Hopkins Co.,
Ky. were from Eastern N.C in 1790.”[15]
Mary
DAWSON was born circa 1745.

127.

128. iii. Thomas Hanks; born January 24, 1777.[16]
129. iv. Betsey
Hanks; born circa 1784;[17] married (--?--) ? August 16, 1809.[18]
130. v. Joshua
Hanks; born February 17, 1787.[19]
131. vi. Nathan
Hanks; born circa 1797;[20] married (--?--) ? March 14, 1822.[21]
80.
Epiphroditus10 HANKS (John9, William8, William7, Thomas6, Thomas5, Thomas4, Thomas3, George2, John1) was born January 25, 1747 in Northumberland Co.,
VA[22] and
married circa 1774.[23] He married
again before 1786[24] and died July 4, 1848 in Sumpter Co., SC, at age
101.[25]
A
Revolutionary War Veteran, Epiphroditus began military service circa 1776. “He served in the Rev. War under Gen.
Caswell; was at Yorktown; "saw
sword delivered." Afterward,
walked home to his father's in Halifax Co. N.C.[26] He lived in 1790 in Dobbs Co., NC; 3 sons in the
family "under 16."[27] He lived in 1830 in Sumpter District, SC; Our
great great grandfather was Epiphroditus Hanks. resided in Sumpter District,
S.C. About 1830 he visited in Alabama
and went back home alone by private conveyance a part of the way and the other
part by stage. He was then 92 years of age. After this he lived ten years and
died aged 102.
