The Hakes Family

The Hakes Family

Did you know that former Vice President Dan Quayle can trace his ancestors back to Solomon and Anna (Billings) Hakes? Check out the following website: Ancestry of Dan Quayle

Ralph Houghton, a Hakes descendent, has undertaken the huge task of preparing a PDF version of the Hakes Family by Harry Hakes (1888). You can find this printable book online at Hakes Genealogy Online.

Most of the information below I have acquired through the book by Harry Hakes. Since then I have worked on finding census and other records to verify as much of the information as possible. So, here is a link to the Hakes Family Census Records.

Soon I hope to add more documents to help in other's research.

March 20, 2009 - I received an e-mail from a Hakes decendent and she sent a scan of the names that were written on the back of her copy of the same picture. I am adding the names as written there but keeping the ones I originally had as well. There are a few differences and a few spelling changes. I'll just type it the way I see it.
