Extensive biography here: "Jacob Hawn and the Hawn’s Mill Massacre: Missouri Millwright and Oregon Pioneer" by Alexander L. Baugh - http://mormonhistoricsites.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Jacob-Haw...
An excerpt: Jacob Hawn was one of four children born to Henry Hawn, who was born in Germany (wife unknown). As a young man, Henry immigrated to Canada, then relocated in Pennsylvania, and finally settled in Genesee County, New York. Henry and his wife had four children—Jacob, James, Michael, and Mary. Jacob was born January 13, 1804, in Genesee County. As a young man, Jacob married a woman by the last name of Myers who died early on in their marriage, leaving no children. On November 18, 1833, Jacob, then twentyeight, married his second wife, fifteen-year-old Harriett Elizabeth Pierson (also Pearson), which marriage is reported to have taken place near Buffalo, New York. Harriett was born on August 31, 1818, in Newark, Hudson County, New Jersey. She lost her parents at a young age and was raised by family living in Cattaraugus County. Shortly after their marriage, Jacob and Harriett left New York and moved near Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he built at least one mill and possibly more. Here, their first daughter, Laura was born on September 1, 1835.
