Colonial families of Long Island, New York and Connecticut : being the ancestry & kindred of Herbert Furman Seversmith ...
Volume III - Hicks 1358/1359
Mary Hicks, b. 16 April 1827, daughter of Elias Hicks by his second wife Susan Bullis & Granddaughter of Benjamin and Deborah Doty Hicks, married 28 October 1850 Lewis Hawley b. 28 October 1818, son of Nathan Hawley of Dutchess County, NY
---------------------------
I believe perhaps they are the Lewis and Mary Hawley of the Neglected Tomb article - have found no proof that Archibald was their son?? but if Archibald did indeed die in 1899 at the age of 48, he would have then have been born 1851. Possible!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . ."On one casket is a silver plate which reads:

1827-1912
Mrs. Hawley was the last of the family to be laid in the vault. Lewis Hawley, the head of the family, died October 15, 1887, at the age of sixty-nine years, according to a carving on the outside of the vault. Archibald, apparently the son, died May 16, 1899, at the age of forty-eight years." . . . . . . . . . . .
