The former was a native of North Carolina, born in 1815, and removed to Butler County with his father, John Hawes, at an early day, and settled on the Little Bend of the Green River, near "Hawes" Ferry, to which his name was given. John Hawes, subject's father, was, by occupation, a farmer, owning a large tract of valuable land in the valley of the Green. He was an excellent citizen, a prominent menber of the Monticello Baptist Church. He died about 1858. Subject's mother, Nancy (Layne) Hawes, died in 1842. They were the parents of nine children, only two of whom are now living: Marion W. and a younger brother, Greenbury Wallace, now residing in Texas. Our subject, Marion W., was born at the old homestead on the banks of Green River, on February 16, 1844; educated in the common schools and reared on the farm. In September, 1861, he enlisted in Company F, Eleventh Kentucky and served honorably three years and three months. His service was principally in Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi and Virginia. He participated in the celebrated battles of Shiloh, Stone River, Perryville, siege of Knoxville, Blain's Cross Roads, and in the campaign to Atlanta. He was a brave soldier, and always with his regiment. He was married three times; first to Harriet Barbrey, February 22, 1865, and by her had two children: David Jarret, born December 11, 1866, and died in 1881; John French, born October 22, 1872.
