Correct. In the case of the Kentucky rifles (and many other guns for that
matter) the stock included the forearm and continued to the end (or nearly the
end) of the barrel. In the case of the Hawken the forearm stops part way down
the barrel.
I was also wrong about the dates for the Hawken brothers, they started shop
around 1830.

Nice! Gun terms: I thought the stock touched your shoulder and the forearm
runs along the barrel, so this rifle has a half-stock forearm?
