In the NEW Movie Lincoln based on Kearns's book there is a reference to a
representative named Hawkins from the west, I thought the movie said Ohio. 
I have not been able to find a Hawkins serving in the House at this time in
history. There is a Hawkins from Tennessee, but he does not look like the
correct person. 
I am interested because the Hawkins's of Shenandoah Valley are my ancestors.
The family left Shenandoah after 1810 to go to Kentucky then to Missouri.
Some split off and went to Ohio and Indiana. This group served in the Union
Army, while others in Texas served in the CSA. 
I have written Kearns's website to inquire who she is talking about and
after 2 weeks of waiting no reply. Since this is supposedly an accurate
portrayal of events, so who is she talking about? 

Any help will be appreciated.
