Naw, but the more I thought about it...
Besides, contrary to the history books and other sources of reference, Henry Hawkins, inventor of the famed Hawkins Rifle, move from New York to this valley after his grandchildren settled here. They opened a gun shop to make custom rifles and pistols and had their own foundry. Thus the name.
You say, "Wrong!". Well heck, it sounds good doesn't it? LOL
