Which Hawley cemetery?  I'm always looking at Oregon Hawley's; my  3rd-great 
grandfather was Cyrus Benjamin Hawley, an Oregon Trail pioneer who  settled 
near Amnity.  His daughter, Ann Elizabeth Hawley, married John  Wright Stephens.
 
Interestingly enough, John's father, Emmor Jefferson Stephens, was the  first 
man buried at the Lone Fir Pioneer Cemetery on Portland's east side.   That 
cemetery was originally a part of James B. Stephen's land claim.   James B. 
"Uncle Jimmy" Stephens was an older half-brother (different mothers) of  my 
great-great grandfather, John Wright Stephens.
 
Cemeteries seem to run in the family; the Menlo Cemetery near Raymond,  
Pacific County, Washington was originally part of the farm of John Wright  
Stephens.  Ann Elizabeth Hawley died in Yamhill County, leaving four  sons.  John 
Wright Stephens remarried Susan Mayes and they moved north,  first to Centralia, 
Washington; later settling in the Raymond/Willapa  Bay area.
