Hawkins Family History & Genealogy

My father, Richard Haines Hawkins (III) was born to George (Moredock) and Mary (Braden) Hawkins in Pittsburgh (New Brighton) Pennsylvania on Aug 15, 1916. I believe his paternal grandfather was William Burson Hawkins. My mother, Joan Murray (Parks) married my father on Sept 5th, 1939 in Miami, FLA and much later they had three daughters: Anne Randolph Hawkins (Wilkins), Claire Braden Hawkins (Mayberry) and myself, Enid Campbell Hawkins, age 49, all born in Seattle, Washington. I am the only surviving member left of my immediate family. Mama passed away in 1977 and Daddy in 1982. Given that my parents were in their 40's when they started having children, the remainder of my immediate family and theirs have long since passed and died when I was quite young. This leaves me knowing very little (or being able to ask questions since everyone's deceased) about my family. Does anyone out there know of or are part of the Pennsylvania Hawkins family? To finally have answers would be facinating and appreciated. To have some actual birth oe death dates, places of birth etc would be great. My mom, Joan Murray Parks (b. Louisville, KY but grew up in Miami, FLA) was the daughter of Roy Curtis Parks and Imelda Murray Parks. My father, Richard H. Hawkins met and married my mom while visiting Miami and attending the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh PA (studying aeronautical engineering) then onto a 30 year career with the Boeing company.
