| Mary as a child |
Mary was the first of the triplets and the only girl. She experienced loss from an early age due to smallpox and war. She spent most of her life in the background, taking care of the house and her siblings.
In 1800, she married Clement Frost and had four children:
- Ophelia Frost (stillborn, 1800)
- Amelia Frost (stillborn, 1801)
- Walter Frost (1802 - 1846)
- Clara Frost (1804 - 1804)
After giving birth to her last child, Mary fell ill and passed away shortly after.
Jonathan Hawthorne (1774 - 1850)
The heir of this generation, Jonathan was born five minutes after his older sister and nine minutes before his younger brother. Like his sister, he grew up surrounded by war and death.
In 1805, he married Lucia Tucker (1778 - 1846). They struggled to conceive their first child, which then decided to be stillborn. After several daughters, they finally had a son in 1813. Unfortunately, most of their children died young due to smallpox and other illnesses.
In 1816, the entire family received the smallpox vaccine because Jonathan loved his children and wanted to them alive. He lived a quiet life and passed away in 1850, spending his later years in the Wild West.
William Hawthorne (1774 - 1787)
The youngest of the triplets lived a short life. He caught smallpox and passed away in 1787.
Sandy Hawthorne (1776 - 1876)
Sandy was the first American-born member of the family. She spent her childhood in the background and married Tanner O'Brian (1770 - 1850) in 1801.
Together, they had seven children:
- Marvin O'Brian (1803 - 1820)
- Callie O'Brian (stillborn, 1805)
- Emily O'Brian (1806 - 1817)
- Vera O'Brian (1808 - 1815)
- Olive O'Brian (1810 - 1811)
- Eva O'Brian (1811 - 1812)
- Lizette O'Brian (1813 - 1898)
Gabrilla Hawthorne (1776 - 1789)
Gabrilla was the second American-born member of the family. Sadly, she lived a short life, passing away from smallpox in 1789.
James Hawthorne (1776 - 1811)
James was the last child born in this generation. He spent his childhood playing in the woods and working in the fields.
In 1804, he married Patience Pineda (1780 - 1820), and together they had four children:
- Llewellyn Hawthorne (1805 - 1807)
- Clement Hawthorne (stillborn, 1806)
- Francis Hawthorne (1807 - 1809)
- Lily Hawthorne (1809 - 1810)
