I can't help but wonder if it is the same George Hawley listed here: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=eliassillhawley&id=I5748 - I have contacted the Hawley Society to see what they think. Fingers crossed! :-)
There are four George Hawley's in the tree David provided the link for - Sr., Jr., the III (a MD), and IV. Going by the photo date - I suspect David is onto something - and would guess this is "Jr."
A different photo of what I think is the same man appears on Find A Grave.
Trudy responded to me with this (She said he had trouble posting a response and ask me to post) -
Very interesting to see this. I volunteer as the genealogist for The Hawley Society. This appears to be an older younger version of George Hawley Jr. His great-grandson is the vice-president of The Hawley Society, and the photo posted on Find A Grave comes from another cousin of this family, who has an archive of family pictures. I will contact both of these gentlemen today, and hopefully they can positively identify him. A genealogy of this family was published in 1979 by George Hawley IV. Thanks for the random act of genealogical kindness.
Thanks David, I am happy to put the photo in the mail. My email can be found by clicking near the yellow flower on the left. Good work and thanks for helping out! :)

DeleteOh, how exciting to see this potential match unfolding right here! That must be a record for time from posting to time of connecting with family!
ReplyDeleteThe photograph itself sure seems very clear in its details. Good eye for that faint penciled-in name.
