Roddy Hawkins
(Abt 1785 - 15 Jun 1841)
!Biographical sketch:Roddy is mentioned in THE HISTORY OF FRANKLIN COUNTY, KY. by L.F. Johnson as being one of "the prominent men in Franklin Co. prior to 1800." p. 19. On p. 28 of the same book, "In the year 1775, the Cherokee Indians sold to the Transylvania Company all of that part of Franklin County which lies south or west of the KY. River: purchased by the company through Daniel Boone as agent. There were no settlements made on that side of river until about 1784, the first being by James Arnold who built a double log house opposite the mouth of Glenn's Creek. His land extended from the mouth of the Little Benson, down the river to the mouth of Cedar Run. About the year 1790, John Cardwell settled on a tract of land located near Carlisle and Roddy Hawkins located in the same neighborhood."
Roddy Hawkins was in Franklin County, as he was a taxpayer in 1811, however there are reports available which do not place him there until 1817, these reports are in error.
