William HABKIRK and Hattie Lavina McDONALD

(Our thanks goes to Bobbi Habkirk  & Brittany Trask for supplying some of the information on this branch of the family)

William HABKIRK was probably the oldest son of Robert HABKIRK

His mother was probably Jane, but possibly Belle.

William HABKIRK was born 10 February 1858 and married Hattie Lavina McDONALD

From the June 1895 Territorial Census of Minnesota we find William and Hattie living in Norman County, the Village of Lockhart.
William is listed as  34, a Farmer, born in Canada and Hattie is listed as 26 and born in Minnesota
The children are: Annie(?) age 9, born in North Dakota, Jennie age 7, born in North Dakota, Robert age 5, born in North Dakota , Jessie age 3 born in Minnesota and  William 9 months born in Minnesota. So that would mean William was born about September of 1894.

From the 1905 census we find this family living in Gillies, the province of Saskatchewan "not included in the Duck Lake Indian Reserevation"
William is 47, born in Ontario, Hattie is 39, born in Ontario, and all the children are listed as born in the USA as follows:
Jessie, age 19, Robert age 17, Jessie age 15, William age 12, Leroy age 10, Donald age 6 and Wesley age 4.
