Zhavia Whitaker met her great-great-great-grandmother, MaeDell Taylor Hawkins, at a nursing home residence in Kings Mountain, Kentucky, on Saturday, Feb. 18.
On Feb. 18, MaeDell Taylor Hawkins, 98, got the chance to hold her great-great-great-granddaughter, Zhavia Whitaker, for the first time. "SIX generations," she wrote on Friday, Feb. 24. "MaeDell, Frances, Gracie, Jacqueline, Jaisline, and Zhavia."In a phone interview with Fox News Digital on Monday, March 6, Howell said the family hadn’t intended to make an "all-female" trip out of their visit — but that’s what ended up happening.
"He already had 10 children. His wife died having twins at home. He worked on the railroad. He had to get back to work. He needed somebody to take care of the kids."Howell said MaeDellwithout many of the "modern conveniences" people take for granted today, including running water, indoor toilets, electric stoves, washing machines, radiators and window insulation.
The family of MaeDell Hawkins is planning a follow-up visit that will likely happen this summer — and they're hoping to bring more of her great-great-great-grandchildren to see her.
