Hawkins traveled through what is now Carroll County on October 8-9 1798. Whatley researched the Hawkins field notes at the Library of Congress during 1953-1954. Whatley's map was likely part of a package, along with a letter to Irvine S. Ingram dated November 1956 which also included Whatley's typed notes from the Hawkins' viatories. Irvine S.
