Dau of Jacob & Elizabeth Sarah (Wolfe) Lotz
Wife of Isaac Hawk
Excerpt from "Atlas of Vinton County, Ohio", Chapter 1, Early History by Charles B. Taylor
"In the year 1810, Henry Duc, the agent of Mr. Wilkes, came on to the ground, and on the tenth day of June laid out the town, naming it Wilkesville, in honor of the owner. During this year five families settled in the township. The first was that of Isaac Hawk.
Isaac Hawk moved from Greenbrier County, Virginia, in 1807, to the lower part of Gallia County, Ohio and in January, 1810, he came to Wilkesville, Athens County, (now Vinton County), where he remained until his death, in 1862. The first sermon ever preached in Wilkesville was preached at his house by Rev. Mr. Dixon, a Methodist Minister. Mr. Hawk was a soldier of the War of 1812. His venerable widow, Margaret, now in her eighty-seventh year, is the "oldest inhabitant of Wilkesville". Benjamin Hawk, Henry Hawk, Michael Hawk and Jonah Hawk, all honored citizens of the township today, are the sons of these worthy pioneers....The first child born in Wilkesville was Clara Jones; the second was Henry Hawk, Justice of the Peace for the past sixteen years....Mr. Duc boarded with them at the time when he laid out the town.
