It will be difficult to prove a relationship between the Hawkins and Hancock Mabes to Reuben Mabe.I have been through all of the court and deed documents for Hawkins County, and the only documented early son of Reuben Mabe was Alexander Mabe, who was in Lee County in 1850.There doesn't seem to be anything that suggests William Mabe from Hancock County was a son.One problem is that we have a relatively old David Mabe in 1850 Hawkins County who could be the father of many of the Mabes.I can't find anything that defines the relationship between David and Reuben Mabe.There doesn't seem to be any record of what happened to Reuben's 1850 sons Samuel and Larkin Mabe.
Mary Lawson was the daughter of Hennis Lawson and she had four children out of wedlock before she married Reuben Mabe.One of them was Frank Mabe.I am not sure of what happen two of her daughters.But, Reuben and Mary had four documented children together--Sophrona, Jesse, Reuben and Cornelia.Sophrona had quite a controversial history and married at least twice.Jim Carpenter, who has posted messages here is descended from Sophrona.At least three of Mary Lawson Mabe's children married into the Minor family, but two of them were the children out of wedlock--Sophrona was the other one.I have court documents that show that some of the Mabes were using the alias Reuben in the 1880s and 1890s.This could be a clue to which ones were actually related to Reuben Mabe.
