  1. 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! :-)

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Oh, 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!

    The photograph itself sure seems very clear in its details. Good eye for that faint penciled-in name.
