Susan Wilson 1833 to 1888 married to Joseph Hawkins

Susan Wilson, was born to Elizabeth and Job Wilson on May 5, 1833 at Kurrajong. She married her next door neighbour, Joseph Hawkins on March 25, 1857 at Richmond. 

Joseph's parents were David Hawkins and Jane Cowling, who owned the adjacent farm Timberinga. Joseph was born in Kurrajong on December 25, 1829 and died on March 19, 1902 also at Kurrajong. 

Susan and Joseph lived on part of Timberinga. Joe was a timbercutter as were most of the Wilson and Hawkins family members. Susan died of cirrhosis of the liver at age 54 in 1888. She is buried near her Wilson family members. 

Joseph doesn't have a headstone so I assume he is buried next to Susan. He does appear in the St Stephen's registers as being buried in the cemetery.

Susan and Joseph had 8 children.

1. Harriett 1852 to 1858 (died as a child) Harriet is listed as Wilson on her grave and death certificate. She fell into a fire and died from her burns. Harriett is buried in Richmond with her brother Thomas.
