Biographical history
The Hawley family are United Empire Loyalist, descendants of Jeptha Hawley. Mark Hawley was the son of Jacob Q. Hawley. Mark Hawley and his wife, Ida Letitia Brandon, inherited the family farm in Richmond township (concession III, west half lot 27) where they lived their entire lives. Their son, Donald Brandon Hawley, hoped to pursue higher education, but this was interrupted by the death of his father at which time he inherited the property. He operated the farm until his retirement in 1990. The business was mixed farming, including dairy cattle and corn production.
Custodial history
The papers were acquired by the Lennox and Addington Historical Society from Donald B. Hawley in 1995.
