My maternal grandmother's maiden name was Lavinia Hanna Hauke.
She was born Apr 21, 1859 and raised near Springfield, Ohio.
Her father's name was John S. Hauke. He worked as a lawyer representing the interests
of settlers dispossessed by the railroads. According to my mother, her mother's family was Hicksite Quakers.
The maiden name of grandmother's mother (my great grandmother) may have been Murray, but I am not sure of this.
Grandmother had a brother, James Hauke, who died in Saint Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D. C. after long mental illness.
There may have been another brother called Charles ("Uncle Charlie"), but he may have been grandmother's uncle, John S. Hauke's or her mother's brother.
I don't know of any other siblings although I think grandmother had sisters. The first name Rilla, my mother's name, may have been a Hauke family name.
