Originally an agricultural family, the next generation followed the holy calling of the minister, while the present representa- tive has passed a long and useful life in busi- ness pursuits. The family records give no trace of the ancestry, nor do Westmoreland county records.

(III) Major Adam Clarke Hawkins, eldest son of David Riley and Charlotte (Boyd) Hawkins, was born in Youngstown, West- moreland county, Pennsylvania, September 23, 1833. He attended the public schools until thirteen years of age, but was a student and reader all through his early manhood and middle life, acquiring in the great school of experience an education that now bespeaks him the cultured, refined gentleman. His first posi- tion was as a boy of thirteen in a store at Freeport, Armstrong county, Pennsylvania, where he remained three years. At age of six- teen years he was a salesman for the large iron and machinery house of Scafe & Atkinson in Pittsburgh. He later became bookkeeper for Young, Stevenson & Love, a Pittsburgh firm. He had widely improved his opportunities dur- ing these years and built up a good reputation as a trustworthy, capable, young business man. He now graduated front land employment to the river boats, plying the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, between Pittsburgh and New Orleans. He continued as clerk on the "Paul Jones" and other river boats for six years, then located in Rochester, Pennsylvania, again becoming a merchant, going thence to New Brighton, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, in the same busi- ness. About 1865 he engaged in mercantile business in Pittsburgh on his own account, continuing successfully until 1879. In the lat- ter year he disposed of his Pittsburgh interests and settled in Bradford and began his long and successful career as an oil producer. He was one of the original stockholders of the Tide Water Pipe Line Company and has been con- nected with many of the corporate oil enter- prises of Bradford as well as conducting large private operations. He has now practically retired from active business, but views with satisfaction a long and well spent life of honor- able business activity. His commercial career has only been interrupted by his service dur- ing the war between the states with the Ninth Pennsylvania Regiment. He has been an active Republican all his life, and may claim to have been one of the founders of that great party, having cast his first presidential vote for Gen- eral John C. Fremont. He has served with honor in many political offices and positions of trust, including that of delegate to many state conventions and alternate and regular

delegate to national conventions of his party. Major Hawkins has taken an active interest in educational matters and has been a member of the Bradford school board for the past fif- teen years and for ten years the president of the board. He is a prominent member of the Masonic order, belonging to lodge, chapter and commandery. He is also a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. His clubs are the Merchants and Country of Brad- ford. In religious faith he is an Episcopalian.

(IV) Lewis Elmore, son of Truman Mal- lory, was born at Cambridge Springs, Penn- sylvania, April 6, 1849. His early education was obtained in the public schools at Phelps Corners, Washington township, but his school attendance ceased when he was fifteen years of age. He then began work in the oil fields, going first to Bull Run in the oil creek district of Venango county. He continued in that field ten years, finishing up his work at wells on the John Steel farm. In 1863-64 he was at Pleasantville in the same county, going thence to Foster, Venango county, where he was a


contractor. At the time of the Angel and Prentice developments, he went to Bully Hill and there drilled the first oil well with five and five-eighths casing and drilled to sand with- out water; this was the first well of its kind below Cil City.


In 1876 he located in Bradford, but has not confined his operations to that city or section. He is known as one of the largest and most successful operators of the oil and gas coun- try, and has been constantly engaged in the development of oil properties, both as an in- dividual operator and in corporate enterprises. He opened up the Watsonville Oil Pool, near Marshburg, in Mckean county; the abundant pool in Chipmunk and Second Sands, on Nich- olas Run, Cattaraugus county, New York, and the Turkey Mountain Pool, in Tulsa county, Oklahoma. In the Ohio field he operates through the Ohio Fuel Supply Gas Company, of which he is a director; also is a director and member of the executive committee of the Ohio Fuel & Oil Company, a company now actively operating on Blue Creek, Kanawha county, West Virginia. The vastness of.his oil interests is best explained by the fact that he owns entirely or partially over a thousand producing wells, many of them in the Brad- ford fields. His experience covers all branches of oil and gas production, beginning as a boy of fifteen when he took up life's battles. He has been nobly seconded in many of his enter- prises by his son, Lewis Elbert. His success has been fairly earned and comes not through fortune's favor, but through energetic, well directed, constant effort and wise management.


He is a Republican in politics, but has never actively entered public life, devoting all his energy to· his large business interests. He is a member of the Presbyterian church, the Duquesne Club of Pittsburgh, the Bradford Merchants, Country and Bradford Gun clubs. In the latter he enjoys his favorite recreation, shooting, and with his son has helped make and maintain the high reputation the club has made in marksmanship against picked clubs of the United States and Canada. He is prominent in the Masonic order, belonging to all bodies of the York and Scottish Rites, holding in the latter the thirty-second degree. His member- ships are in Bradford Lodge, No. 334, Free and Accepted Masons; Bradford Council. Royal and Select Masters; Bradford Chapter, No. 260, Royal Arch Masons; Trinity Com- mandery, No. 58, Knights Templar; Syria

Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, of Pitts- burgh, and Pittsburgh Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite. He also is a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

R. de Catlin was one of the followers of William the Conqueror and is mentioned in the Domesday Book as having two knights fees of land. Sir Catlin was knight- ed for honorable service at the battle of Agin- court, under Edward, the Black Prince, and the Catlin coat-of-arms was granted him, viz. : "Per chevron or azure three lions passant guardant in pale, counter charged in chief argent. Crest : A leopard's head couped at the neck argent, ducally collared and lined or re- guardant." Motto: Semper fides.
