"To historians and writers of the Mormon experience in northern Missouri in the 1830s, Jacob Hawn has been an enigma and mystery--a missing piece of the historical puzzle of early Mormonism. Who was he, and what became of him? It's almost as if he emerged from nowhere, and then disappeared. I was fortunate enough to have someone like Sherrie Clement provide the clue I needed to track him down. Jacob Hawn lived an adventurous life as an enterprising nineteenth century millwright. But his life was certainly not by most standards extraordinary. He would probably be surprised to learn that today his name, and the mill operation he established in a relatively isolated part of northern Missouri in the mid-1830s, has become widely known in Mormon circles (particularly among the historical community) because of his association with the greatest Mormon misfortune in Mormon history that resulted from religious persecution against the Latter-day Saints."
