[or-roots] Carla's Hawley and Shields connections

[CKlooster at aol.com]

I am descended from Cyrus Benjamin Hawley and his wife, Elizabeth (Eliza)  
Smith.  He was born ca. 1812 in New York and later lived in London,  Ontario, 
Canada; Michigan, and Iowa before traveling to Oregon with the Gilliam  wagon 
train.  He had a donation land claim near McMinville.  His  daughter, Ann 
Elizabeth, married John Wright Stephens and they had four  sons.  She died when the 
boys were young and he remarried and moved to  Washington.  Their son, Irvin 
Hawley Stephens married Anna Mary  Shields, the daughter of Henry Shields and 
Tabitha Whealdon.  Joseph  Whealdon and his wife were Quakers who settled near 
Centralia, Washington.   Later their married daughter, Tabitha, moved the area 
with her husband and  family from Illinois.  Henry Shields was one of the 
first Sheriffs of  Centralia. Irvin Hawley Stephens and Anna Mary Shields raised 
a large family in  Raymond, Pacific County, Washington.  Their daughter, 
Constance Tabitha  Stephens was my paternal grandmother.
 
A detailed history of the Stephens family in Oregon, "Some Descendents of  
Emmor Jefferson Stephens", was written and published privately by Edmund Fisher  
of Portland and Gresham.  This is an extremely well-researched work and  also 
includes information about the family of Emmor Stephens' brother, Isaac  
Stephens.
