Henry Hawkins was a Philadelphia merchant who, upon the death in 1805 of his son-in-law, John B. Evans, was appointed administrator of the Evans estate by Henry Hawkins's daughter, Ann Hawkins Evans. The Evans estate was comprised of extensive land holdings, plantations, and lead and iron mines in Tennessee, as well as land holdings in Georgia. After Henry Hawkins's death in 1815, Ann Hawkins Evans appointed Henry's son, George Hawkins, to succeed his father as the estate's administrator.
