    17 July 1837 Elisha Hawkins applied for Letters of Administration of the James Guthrie estate; granted 24 July.

    Some have surmised that Elisha was living on land of his father-in-law when James Guthrie died in 1837. Assuming that this property is that described in the Union Co. SC Deed Abstracts, Vol 1, Deed Books A-F 1785-1800, by Brent Holcomb at Mobile library (Holcomb Deed Abstracts) - “27 Feb 1788 B 45-47 Philip & Eliz. ANDERSON of Union Co. SC to James GUTHREY of same, for 200 sterling, tract on south side Tyger River  adj. Philip ANDERSON's land, Daniel LIPHAMs land, 250 ac....” (sourced by Beverley Ferrell). The Land Grant Maps show Phillip Anderson with 240 acres, 1776, centered about 1.25 miles to the west of Nathan Hawkins. Lipham properties are nearby.

    In the Wm. C. Glenn will, noted above, he names Elijah ANDERSON as an abutting property, along with Henry Hardy & Nathan Hawkins. The Guthrie children and the Nathan Hawkins children were in close proximity to each other.
