SIXTH GENERATION

ZADOCK HAWKINS Book Information

935. Andrew Johnson⁶ FINNEY (Ezra E.⁵ FINNEY, Denica "Denicy"⁴ HAWKINS, Zadock³ HAWKINS, Zadock² HAWKINS, Zadock¹ HAWKINS) was born on 4 Nov 1864 in Argos, Marshall Co., Indiana, USA. Abraham Lincoln Finney and Andrew Johnson Finney were twins. He appeared on the 1880 U.S. Census with his brothers and their half-sister, Mary E. Apple (Etta), living with their mother Sarah E. Frazier in Windsor Twp., Cowley Co., Kansas. He died on 23 Jun 1930 in Burden, Cowley Co., Kansas, USA. The obituary of his father Ezra places Andrew in "Mexico" in 1914. It was originally thought that this referred to the town of Mexico, Miami Co., Indiana, which is near where his father lived. However, it has been learned that Andrew's brother Charles was in the oil business and traveled extensively to many locations in North and South America. Andrew could well have been in the same business. So it is likely this refers to the country of Mexico.

In 1900 he listed his occupation as foreman on the railroad.

He was married to unknown about 1886. In the 1900 Census Andrew Finney and his wife Ada had been married only one year and Ada was listed as the mother of only one child. Yet Andrew had two children in that census, a 12-year-old son and a five-month-old daughter, suggesting that Ada in that census was not the mother of his 12-year-old son. Andrew Johnson FINNEY and unknown had the following children:

1824 i. Walter⁷ FINNEY was born in Aug 1887 in Kansas, USA. He appeared on the 1900 U.S. Census with his father and stepmother in Windsor Twp., Cowley Co., Kansas.
1825 ii. Ora⁷ FINNEY was born in Jan 1890 in Kansas, USA. He appeared on the 1900 U.S. Census with his uncle William H. Finney, listed as William's nephew. I place him in the family of Andrew Finney because family records of William Finney's other brothers do not place Ora in their family and Andrew clearly had a second wife who must have been the mother of Andrew's other son Walter. It appears that the mother of Walter and Ora may have died after which Ora may have gone to live with his uncle.

He was married to Ada F. about 1899 in Kansas, USA, most likely. They appeared on the 1900 U.S. Census in Windsor Twp., Cowley Co., Kansas. In the 1920 U.S. Census they were living in Winfield City, Cowley Co., Kansas. Ada F. was born in Feb 1878 in Kansas, USA. Andrew Johnson FINNEY and Ada F. had the following children:

1826 i. Fern⁷ FINNEY was born in Dec 1899 in Kansas, USA. She appeared on the 1900 U.S. Census with her parents in Windsor Twp., Cowley Co., Kansas.
1827 ii. Ethel⁷ FINNEY was born about 1901 in Kansas, USA. She appeared on the 1920 U.S. Census with her parents in Winfield City, Cowley Co., Kansas.
1828 iii. Clarence⁷ FINNEY was born about 1905 in Kansas, USA. He appeared on the 1920 U.S. Census with his parents in Winfield City, Cowley Co., Kansas.
