Son of Isaac (1831-1903) and Nancy Huckleberry (1835-1906) Hawn. Husband of Donna "Donie Hester Casey Hawn (1867-1929). Father of Henry Wesley Hawn (1890-1967), Willis Lloyd Hawn (1891-1956), Lawrence Berkey Hawn (1893-1971), James Edward Hawn (1896-1969), Ella Alice Hawn (1900-1941), Lilly Florence Hawn (1900-1984), Rosezella Hawn (1903-1949), and Daisy Hawn (1906-?).

Excerpt from pg 138, "Genealogical History of the Casey Family of Indiana" by Otis C. Casey, Jr., dated 01 Jan 1993, Indianapolis, Ind.

"On July 21, 1889 she (Donie Hester Casey) married Charles Willard Hawn in Jackson County. He was born October 11, 1867 (per obituary, year 1868 on tombstone) at Little York in nearby Washington County. His father was Isaac Hawn (son of John Hawn and Rachel Dukes) and his mother Nancy Huckleberry (daughter of Rachel Crockett Huckleberry). Charles was a farmer, but he expanded his own farm operations into custom cutting oats and wheat for other farmers. He owned a gasoline powered shredder that farmers in the area would hire to shred corn plants into animal feed. Charles lost a hand while operating the shredder.

"Charles died first, June 19, 1921, and was buried in the Russell Chapel Cemetery. Donie died February 3, 1929 and was buried beside her husband. Seven of their eight children are buried in the same cemetery. The Hawn family was homogeneous, without the disruptions of her father's family, and the children stayed close to home. All but one of the eight children would marry. The number of descendants is very large."
