Those Elyton Hawkins are relatives of mine too. Thomas Jefferson Goode, my 5th great grandfather, married Sarah Hawkins, a sister to your ancestor. Our Hawkins line is found many generations in the past across the water. E-mail me for much info on our Hawkins family. Google the
old Elyton Cemetery in Jefferson County, Alabama or get this on findagrave and you should easily find pics of Hawkins relatives graves there. This old cemetery in on the west side of I-65 just below it's junction with I-59.
The plantation you mention was west of there a mile or so.
