Albert first appeared on the Hopkins County tax list in 1856. He was not over twenty-one years old and owned no land. His only property was a horse valued at $50.¹⁴FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/search/film/007834459 : accessed 2 Nov 2021), digital film 007834459, image 744; Hopkins Co., KY, Tax Books, 1856, Albert Hankins. Albert is not on the tax list for 1857 or 1859, but he appears in 1858 and consecutively from 1860 through 1864 (excluding the missing 1863 tax book).¹⁵FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/search/film/007834460 : accessed 2 Nov 2021), digital film 007834460, image 42; Hopkins Co., KY, Tax Books, 1858, Albert Hankins. Browsed 1857 and 1859 Hopkins County tax books on FamilySearch, www.familysearch.org/search/film/007834459 and 007834460. According to those tax lists and deed records, he never owned land in Hopkins County. In 1858, Albert owned one horse valued at $50 and was still under twenty-one.¹⁶FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/search/film/007834460 : accessed 2 Nov 2021), digital film 007834460, image 42; Hopkins Co., KY, Tax Books, 1858, Albert Hankins. Albert, Janie, John, and Lee lived next to Albert’s parents in 1860.

The 1860 tax list shows he was over twenty-one and owned one horse (worth $50), four cattle, 200 bushels of corn, and twelve bushels of wheat.¹⁸FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/search/film/007834460 : accessed 2 Nov 2021), digital film 007834460, image 189; Hopkins Co., KY, Tax Books, 1860, Albert Hankins.

Albert’s last tax list entry, 1864, shows he had two horses ($50), two cattle, 400 pounds of tobacco, and fifteen bushels of corn. He militia enrollment was active and he still had one child between six and eighteen.²¹FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/search/film/007834460 : accessed 2 Nov 2021), digital film 007834460, image 399; Hopkins Co., KY, Tax Books, 1864, Albert Hankins.

Albert enlisted in the 8th Kentucky Confederate Infantry in October 1861. His muster roll on 1 August 1862 lists him as a 4th Sgt. with Company I, showing him “absent at home in Kentucky without leave.”²²“Civil War Service Records – Confederate -Kentucky,” digital images, Fold3 (https://www.fold3.com : accessed 4 Sep 2013), Civil War (Confederate) > Civil War Service Records-Confederate-Kentucky > 8th Mounted Infantry > H-P > Hankins, Albert, enlisted 18 Oct 1861, Hopkinsville, KY; from NARA microfilm M319, Record Group 109. Albert’s granddaughter Aggie Hankins Haley passed down a family story that Albert was with a friend in the company of Confederate deserters, accused of desertion and shot.²³Family story, passed down through the family from Albert’s granddaughter, Aggie Ann Hankins (daughter of James W. Hankins). Elizabeth McCauley Carver (Albert’s great-granddaughter) remembered hearing “he got into some trouble and was shot,” which goes along with the other story.²⁴Elizabeth McCauley Carver, granddaughter of Thomas Leander Hankins and Samantha Angeline Petty, aunt of the author.

The exact date and cause of Albert’s death is unknown, but he died by 1869 when Janie first appeared on the Hopkins County tax list.²⁵ FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/search/film/007834461 : accessed 2 Nov 2021), digital film 007834461, image 118; Hopkins Co., KY, Tax Books, 1869, Jane Hankins. That was five years after Albert’s last entry in 1864.²⁶Browsed 1865, 1866, 1867 Hopkins County tax books on FamilySearch, www.familysearch.org/search/film/007834460 and 007834461; Albert Hankins not found. But since he was missing on two other earlier tax lists when he was alive, it is not possible to determine if he was missing in 1865 through 1868 because he was deceased. If the family stories are true, he likely died closer to 1865 than 1868.

Regardless of when or how Albert died, Janie was left alone with four children to raise. She and the children moved near her father, likely on his property, since they were listed next to him in the 1870 census.²⁷1870 U.S. census, Hopkins Co., KY, population schedule, Precinct #2, p. 20A, dwelling 19, family 19, Jane Hankins; digital image, Ancestry (https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/7163 : accessed 14 Feb 2010); from NARA microfilm M593, roll 471.
