On the 1860 "Nancey" (28) is with her husband, Samuel, and infan t s o n , Robert Thomas Hawkins, in Williamston, Martin Co.
None of the three have been found in 1870
On the 1880 census she was in Craven Co., NC. On 15 June of that y e a r , the census reported "Eliza" Hawkins, Head of Household, Widow , a g e 3 7 and son Robert, 21, Fisherman, living on South Front St. i n N e w Bern . On that day "Eliza was sick with fever".
Also living in the same house but as a separate head of household ( t h e refore probably no kin) was Bettie Willet or Millet, Widow, ag e 6 3 a n d William Denis, age 21, Fisherman.
"Elizabeth" Hawkins, age 35", died on Christmas day, 1880 of "Dro p s y " and was buried on Dec. 26th in Cedar Grove Cem. (Ref; "Intern me n t t o Cedar Grove Cemetary, New Bern, NC 1866-1909, vol 1 and 2 , Mic ro fil m m.441 40001, ref. # 990, located in Craven Co., NC libr ary).
Her grave is unmarked but research has narrowed it's location to ei t h e r grave #1168 or #1257

There is obvious inconsistency in Nancy Elizabeth's age; 28 in 18 6 0 , 3 7 on the 1880 census, and 35 when she died
When and why did (Nancy) Eliza(beth) come to New Bern? Where w a s s h e (and husband Samuel and 11-yr old Robert Thomas) during th e 18 70 C en sus?
