The
Hawkins family owned land in Tavistock, north of Plymouth, by 1485.
The
name of Hawkins is derived from the village of Hawking, in the Hundred of
Folkstone. Osbert de Hawking, in the reign of Henry II, was an ancestor of
Andrew Hawkins of Nash Court, near Faversham, Kent, in the reign of Edward
III.; which Andrew married Joan de Nash, an heiress, by whom the Hawkinses
became possessed of Nash Court, and from whom are descended the Hawkinses of
Devon.

in prob. Plymouth, Devonshire, and died 1554.
He married Joan Towne Trelawney, daughter of Roger
Trelawney. She was born Abt. 1500 in
Launceton, Cornwall, and died in England.
Notes
for William Hawkins:
A
branch of the Hawkinses of Nash Court probably settled in Plymouth during the
fifteenth century. John Hawkins held lands in the town under the Corporation
before 1480, and was dead by or before 1490, when his heirs held them. This was
before the Hawkinses were at Tavistock.
William Hawkins, son of John Hawkins (who had lived at Tavistock), and
Joan, daughter of William Amadas, of Launceton, was born probably at Plymouth
towards the end of the fifteenth century. He was an officer in the navy of King
Henry VIII. Being one of the principal sea captains in the West of England, he
obtained a high and just reputation for his skill and experience, and was held
in great esteem and favour by the King. He is thought to be the same Hawkins
who in 1513 was master of the "Great Galley," one of the few Royal
ships of that time.

with this inscription: "Sacr~ perpetuaeque memoriae Gulielmi Hawkyns de
Plimouth arm igeri; qui verae religionis verus cultor, pauperibus praecipue
navicularus inunifleus, rerum nauticarum studiosissimus, longinquas instituit
saepe navigationes: arbiter in causis difficilissimis aequissimus, fide,
probitate, et prudentia siugulari. Duos duzit uxores, e quarum una 4 ex altera

worshipper of the true religion; a munificent benefactor to poor mariners;
skilled in navigation; oftentimes undertaking long voyages; a just arbiter in
difficult cases; and a man of singular faith, probity, and prudence. He had two
wives, four children by one, and seven by the other. John Hawkins, Knight,
Treasurer of the Queen's Navy, his brother, most sorrowfully erected this. He
died in the sure and certain hope of resurrection, on the 7th day of October,
in the year of our Lord 1589."

Notes
for Sir John Hawkins:
Kinsman,
probably cousin of Sir Francis Drake.
Leader of ships against Armada.
Many good articles and web sites on this man and his son, Sir Richard
Hawkins. Also spelled Hawkyns.
"Hawkins
also spelled HAWKYNS English naval administrator and commander, one of the
foremost seamen of 16th-century England and the chief architect of the
Elizabethan navy.
"A
kinsman of Sir Francis Drake, Hawkins began his career as a merchant in the African
trade and soon became the first English slave trader. By carrying slaves from
Guinea, in West Africa, to the Spanish West Indies, he provoked conflict with
the Spaniards, who did not allow
unauthorized foreigners to trade with their colonies. Hawkins' first
slave-trading voyage, in 1562-63, on behalf of a syndicate of London merchants,
was so profitable that a more prestigious group, including Queen Elizabeth I,
provided the money for a second expedition (1564-65). His third voyage, with
Drake in 1567-69, however, ended in disaster. After selling the slaves in the
Caribbean, Hawkins was forced by needed repairs and lack of water to take
refuge at San Juan de Ulua, near Veracruz, Mex. A Spanish fleet attacked him in
the harbour, and, of the six ships, only the two commanded by Hawkins and Drake
were able to escape. This episode marked
the beginning of the long quarrel between England and Spain that eventually led
to open war in 1585.
"Hawkins
soon avenged himself; by gaining the confidence of Spain's ambassador to
England, he learned the details of a conspiracy (the so-called Ridolfi plot of
1571) in which English Roman Catholics, with Spanish assistance, were to depose
Queen Elizabeth and install Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, on the English throne.
Hawkins notified his government, and the English plotters involved were
arrested.
"In
1577 Hawkins succeeded his father-in-law, Benjamin Gonson, as treasurer of the
navy; later (1589) he was to assume the additional duties of controller. His
high naval post enabled him to direct the rebuilding of the older galleons and
to contribute to the design of faster, more heavily armed ships. It was this
new, swift-sailing navy that withstood the Spanish Armada in 1588. Hawkins was
third in command during the Armada crisis (during which he was knighted), and
afterward he devised the strategy--quite original for that period--of setting
up a naval blockade at the Azores to intercept Spanish treasure ships returning
from the New World.
"In
1595 Hawkins and Drake sailed with 27 ships to raid the Spanish West Indies.
Hawkins died the night before an unsuccessful attack on Puerto Rico."

aboard "Thomas", buried Waterford, Ireland. He married (1) Agnes Edgcombe 01 Sep
1590 in St. Stephens, daughter of Richard Edgcombe and Agnes Durant. She died Bef. 1608. He married (2) Mariam Khan 1609 in
Agra, daughter of Mubarik Khan. She was
born in Armenian from India.
Notes
for William Hawkins:
A
captain who travelled to India and was married there. He
cannot be confused with a William Hawkins who emigrated to
Virginia. He had a brother, Charles, who
outlived him and who collected a loan from his estate.
Note;
A Richard Edgecombe of Tavistock had a wife, Agnes, who became a widow by
1580. He was likely closely related to
the Agnes Edgecombe that married William Hawkins and who was mother of his only
known son. By 1587 records of Peter
Edgecomb, Merchant and Mathew Edgecomb and another Richard Edgecomb can be
found in Tavistock.

About William Hawkins:
Burial:
Waterford, Ireland
Notes
for Mariam Khan:
The
journey of William Hawkins to Agra, and his residence at the court of
Jehanghir, may be looked upon as the opening scene of the history of British
India. The Emperor induced the English
captain to marry the daughter of Mubarik Khan, a Christian Armenian ; and when
Hawkins was dismissed from Agra in November 1611, he took his native wife with
him. They got safely on board Sir Henry
Middleton's ship in the following January, and proceeded to Bantam, whence they
sailed for England in the Thomas, arriving at Saldanha Bay on April 21st, 1613
and here the letter (or report) of Hawkins to the company terminates
abruptly. He died on the passage from
the Cape, and was buried in Ireland.
Mrs.
Hawkins, alone amongst strangers, was left in a very forlorn condition. But she had one diamond worth £2000, and
smaller ones worth £4000, so that she had no difficulty in finding another
husband. In 1614 she married Gabriel
Towerson, who had been in the voyage of Captain Saris and brought home the
Hector. In 1617 Captain and Mrs.
Towerson went out to India again, and visited Agra; where the lady remained
with her relations. Towerson went home,
and in 1620 he was appointed Principal Factor at the Moluccas, where he was
judicially murdered, after suffering inhuman treatment from the Dutch, on
February 27th, 1623. He was the chief
victim of the Massacre of Amboyna.

In
1609 February, the English merchant Hawkins, travelling from Surat to
Burhanpur, even with an escort of about sixty Pathan horse, was attacked by a
troop of out-laws. [ The province of Baglan still maintained its independence.
The chief's head quarters were at Jaitapur, near Mulher and he levied tolls on
all travellers from Surat to Burhanpur, the road passing through his territory.
William Hawkins (1608—1613) reached Burhanpur on 8th February, 1609 and next
day saw "Chan Channa (Khan Khanan), the Lord general and Viceroy of

Sir
Richard Hawkins of Slapton
"Hawkins
also spelled HAWKYNS, English seaman and adventurer whose Observations in His Voyage Into the South Sea (1622) gives
the best extant idea of Elizabethan life at
sea and was used by Charles Kingsley for Westward Ho!.
"The
only son of the famed seaman Sir John Hawkins by his first marriage,
Richard Hawkins in 1582 sailed with his
uncle William to the West Indies; in 1585 he commanded a ship on Sir Francis
Drake's raid on the Spanish Main and was a ship captain during the Armada
campaign (1588).
"In
June 1593 he sailed from Plymouth in the "Dainty" with two smaller
vessels, which parted company before reaching the Pacific. In February 1594 he sighted
what he called Hawkins Maidenland, probably the Falkland Islands, which had
been discovered two years previously by John Davis. After burning four ships at
Valparaíso, Hawkins continued up the coast until he met six Spanish warships
off Callao. He overcame them; but on June 22, when north of Paita, he was
wounded and forced to surrender after a fight lasting three days with two more
Spanish ships. He was imprisoned at Lima and then from 1597 till 1602 in Spain,
at which date his ransom of £3,000 was paid. On his return he was knighted and
elected mayor and MP for Plymouth. In 1608, after five years as vice-admiral of
Devon, he was arrested and fined for condoning piracy. In 1620 he sailed as
second in command of an ineffective expedition against
the Algerine corsairs.
"His
Observations in His Voyage Into the South Sea was printed in 1622, having been
composed about 1603."

John Sidney5 Hawkins (Richard4, John3,
William2, John1) was born Abt. 1604 in St. Andrews,
Plymouth, England, and died 1678 in Slapton, Devon, England. He married Hester Richards 27 Oct 1636
in England, daughter of Edward Richards and Jane Martin. She was born Abt. 1610 in of Dartmouth,
England, and died 23 Jul 1660 in Slapton, England.
Notes
for John Sidney Hawkins:
He
is known to have been at sea in 1629. He lived at Poole in Slapton, which he
probably inherited from his mother, Lady Judith, in 1629. He sold the estate at
some stage.
He
sold the Plymouth estates in 1637-8. John and Hester produced 10 children. John
died at Stoke Fleming and was buried in nearby Slapton in 1678.
A
number of researchers assert that this John Hawkins, sometimes called John
Sidney Hawkins, cannot be the ancestor of the American Hawkins families which
include Philemon Hawkins. Some of the
church records from Devon indicating why are included with the presumed family
of a later family member.

Notes
for John Hawkins:
Page
6 of John Henry Hawkins and His Kin by Duane Gage - at DAR Library in Wash. DC
"John Hawkyns (1643-????), son of John
and Hester Hawkyns, was the only male in his family who lived long enough to
produce a family. court records and
church records from this era are scarce and, in many cases, illegible.
We
can determine that this particular descendant married Mary Dewe, d/o Edward
Dewe of Islip, Oxfordshire, and they had fourteen children born between 1671
and 1698. In 1682 John and Mary Dewe
Hawkyns settled at Great Milton, Oxfordshire.
The date of death for this John Hawkyns is not known. "It is not likely that the family
could afford to provide all fourteen children a higher education. Consequently, some of the younger sons were
destined to seek their fortunes on their own.
John Hawkyns, a younger son of John and Mary Dewe Hawkyns, born about 1680,
emigrated to the colony of Virginia about 1705 and settled in St. Anne's
Parish..... In 1715 another Hawkins brother, Philemon (1690-1725) emigrated to
America and settled near his kinsman.
Philemon was the first of our direct ancestors to reach America. (Mayes, Genealogical Notes, D157; Gen. John
Parker Hawkins, Hawkins Family and connections; 1913, p. 70)"

This John Hawkins, if born 1643, indicates the listed children are not
his.
*In
her book, Mary Hawkins mentions probate of John’s will, and a listing of his
property, which was in his room, in his father’s house. John would only have been 27 years old, and
given that he lived in a room in his father’s house, and his sister was the
executer of his will, it seems likely that he never married. Question: was the John who married Mary Dewe
born 21 Sep 1643? Or is the marriage
record all that has been found?
Note: Thomas Edward Hawkins, of England, found
where John Hawkins married Agnes Phillips in 1663 at Margate. This would seem more likely than Oxfordshire. It’s closer to Slapton, and there are many
Heale names in the parrish register. The
problem is, this John had children born after 1670, when John, the son of John
esq. Died. It’s the same problem as the
John that married Mary Dewe.

"We
have definitely traced the Hawkins line back 5 generations ... to a John
Hawkins who we think is ... John was born April 12 1687; ours married Anna
someone and their first child was born in 1711 so it could well be the same
John. We haven't been able to prove it because the records at Stoke Fleming
were destroyed."

<Unknown>7 Hawkins (<Unknown>6,

Notes
for <Unknown> Hawkins:
A
John Hawkins that married Mary Lieux is often shown as the father of Philemon
Hawkins. One report lists a brother as
Lieu Dolphus Hawkins, and the similarity is striking.
There
is no evidence to show that all of these presumed siblings were, in fact,
siblings. They are presented here due to
a number of descendants sharing the claim of descent from Sir John Hawkins, the
proximity of the Spotsylvania families, and the common name
"Philemon" which appears in the line of the Chickahominy / Bute /
Warren branch of the compiler.
William
Hawkins is not listed as a brother of the other immigrant siblings in some
accounts, but descendants have similar naming patterns and we in the same
vicinity and may be closely related.

Hayden, Long, Long, Simpson, Prichett, McDonald, Randle, Ellis, Casel; England,
Va., No. Car., Ga.
"Philemon
Hawkins (b. 1695, England) emigrated to America with wife, Eleanor (Howard); to
Virginia in the neighborhood of Todd's Bridge, near relatives who had preceded
him. (Such is the record of tradition
familiar to descendants.) The Reg. Land
Office, Richmond, Va., shows Philemon had land granted him in King William Co.:
2 patents in 1719 and 2 in 1725 in that part which is now King and Queen
Co. Todd's Bridge was in King and Queen
over the Matapony River. The
probabilities are that John Hawkins of King William was the relative who had
preceded the immigrant in 1714. Philemon d. 1725, and ca 1735, his widow and
their children, Philemon, John and Anna, moved to No. Car. where many of their

Notes
for Anne Eleanor Howard:
Anne
Eleanor Howard was the daughter of Capt. Howard of Plymouth, England. The family of Howard in England is a prominent
one, including Sir Thomas Howard, who commanded the Armada and who recommended
that Philemon Hawkins' ancestor, Sir John Hawkins, get knighted after that
victory. His descendants included two of
the wives of Henry VIII of England, and his family is in my file, though no
link has been established to Anne Eleanor.
I am related to him as a cousin on another line. The possible naval family connection has me
interested in pursuing this, though!
She
moved from Virginia to North Carolina after the death of her husband, and
married an (unknown) Irishman. Anyone
who can identify him, please let me know!!!

Notes
for John H. Hawkins:
[There
was another John Hawkins who died testate in Essex Co., VA in 1726; his will
remains of record & he left a family.
This John was a son of Capt. Thomas Hawkins who had a land patent 1666
at the falls of the Rappahannock River.
They were contemporaries]
Was
he born in Slapton, Devonshire? Did he
marry (first) (Unknown) Johnson bef 1699 in England? Did he die in St. George's Par., Spotsylvania
Co., VA?
A
grant of land was made to John Hawkins of King William Co., VA in 1731, and in
Deed Book A, p.136, Spotsylvania Co., VA recorded of a Deed to him of four
hundred acres of land on the Pamunky on both sides of the mouth of Terry's Run,
or Gigging River. He is mentioned as
recently deceased, in Deed Book D, p. 17, Spotsylvania County, November 16th,
1742, where it appears that his wife's name was Mary.
"A
certain John Hawkins of King William Co. died there testate by 1727; his will
was recorded there but it is now lost, but there are recitations to it in the
Spots Co. records; his wife was Mary ____ (some say Long, how is that proven?)
- The records prove that John & Mary had at least 5 children:
Capt.
Joseph Hawkins, eldest son & heir of his father, and of age when he died,
lived in Hanover & Spots. Cos. and died testate in Spots. Co 1769, leaving
will mentioning wife Jane & Children John, Joseph, Lucy & Sarah

Smith say that John Hawkins of Hanover Co., the Rev. Commissary, acted but
Patrick Henry Jr. refused to act as an executor. The papers say that the said John Hawkins
died during the Rev. War & that shortly after (or about) 1800 his widow
Mary Hawkins moved to Ky."

[If
the following will is for this Jane Hawkins why is daughter Mildred not
mentioned in her husband's will some 21 years earlier? It appears that this Jane only mentions her
daughter Mildred, because Mildred was separated from her husband. Her other children could have been already
well taken care of. A neice of Jane
Nichols' husband was named "Franky (Hawkins) Thomas" and a daughter
of this Jane was "Mildred (Hawkins) Thomas."]

"Philemon
Hawkins, Gentleman, commissioned to be Captain of a Company of Foot; took the
oath February 5th, 1750.
"It
was the custom in Virginia to divide each County into Military Districts, each
District raising a Company. The entire fource
of the County being under the command of a Colonel.
"Commencing
July 21st, 1755, he was enrolled as Captain in the Second Virginia Regiment
commanded by Col. William Byrd, in the war between Great Posetam and France, in
1780. His heirs were granted a warrant
by the State of Virginia for 3,000 acres of land for his services as
Captain. This warrant, according to
Kentucky records, was entered by Elijah Craig.
Any female descendant of Philemon Hawkins is entitled to membership in
The Society of Colonial Dames. Philemon
Hawkins, as the most distinguished of his family ni those early days, is
entitled to be honored by those of his blood by perpetuating the name of
Philemon through future generations. The
name seems to have been in the family in the old country. Maryland records show a Philemon Lloyd
Hawkins as an emigrant from Wales."

Reciting
the conveyance of 500 A being 1/2 of a patent granted to Samuel Smith &
which was given to the sd. Charles, his son, by his last will which said last
will of the sd. Samuel Smith directed a division among his children etc; but
the will was given unto the care of Stephen Smith from whom it was stolen or
destroyed which occasions the sd. Philemon Hawkins & Sarah, his wife, to
have their right to all the estate of Samuel Smith, deceased, as the sd Sarah
was the only child to survive the sd. Samuel Smith "that was born in
wedlock."
[Other
deeds, evidences etc. show that Samuel Smith's declared heir at law was only
Sarah, wife of P. Hawkins but that he acknowledged the sd. Geo. Smith alias
Noblet & Chas Smith alias Noblet to be his children & the deeds show
they were born out of wedlock. Charles
rose to a place of prominence in Louisa Co.; ... They dropped the "alias
Noblet" & took the name of Smith.]

Deposition
of Nathan Hawkins, Madison Co., KY Deed Book A, p. 82.
Deposition
of Nathan Hawkins, aged 74, taken before George Adams and Joseph Kennedy,
Justices of the Peace; was present about thirty-one or thirty-two years ago in
Spotsylvania County, Virginia when John Hawkins married Elizabeth Ellis,
daughter of William Ellis, of Spotsylvania.
William told John that for his marrying his daughter, he would buy and
give him (John) two good negroes and he should have equal share with his other
children at his death ; after they were married two negro girls came to the
door and Mr. Ellis informed John he might have his choice. Mrs. Ellis answered No, she would not part
with either of the girls; she intended one for a milkmaid and the other for a
washmaid, but that he might have Millie, a young gir. John, after some conversation, said it was very
little odd which of the girls he had; although she was the smallest she might
soon grow up. Upon which Mr. Ellis gave
John Hawkins the girl, and about four days after Millie was moved to John
Hawkins' and there remained until after the decease of said Hawkins. In the administration of his estate Millie
was appraised in said estate and the relict had her thirds allotted to her;
that her father, Mr. Ellis, wished Millie not to be included in the appraisal
but the widow excepted against it and said Millie was John Hawkins' and should
be in the appraisal and his children should not be wronged, and her father
agreed to it.
Mr.
Ellis was appointed Guardian and hired Millie with the other negroes for the
benefit of the orphans. Some time after
the widow married Robert Collins who brought suit against heirs of said Hawkins
for siad Millie but how it came out of the Court this deponent knoweth
not. The matter was submitted to
arbitration of Joseph Brook, Edward Hardin and Thomas Colson, Justices of the
Peace for Spotsylvania County, and the award was in favor of the orphans; but
depondent further sayeth, Robert Collins said in his hearing he would give his
bond to stand to the award, and further sayeth not. (Dated) July 42,1790; Witnesses ...

Notes
for John Hawkins:
John
Hawkins may have been the son of Joseph Hawkins b c 1695 Spotsylvania Co., VA,
will dated 30 Mar 1769 and his wife Jane.
One
story says "John Hawkins was born in England about 1680. In 1743 he
emigrated to America with his sisters, Jane, Mildred, Agnes and Elizabeth, and
Thomas Langford and family. They settled on Little River in Hanover County,
about 40 miles northwest of Richmond."
It seems unlikely he was born as early as 1680, but if an immigration
record exists, he is likely linked to the wrong parents.

257 i. John Fowler11 Hawkins, born 1815
in Plymstock, Devon, England.
258 ii. Joseph Hawkins, born 1817 in Plymstock,
Devon, England.
259 iii. James Hawkins, born 1820; died Infant.
260 iv. James Hawkins, born 1821.
261 v. Mary Ann Hawkins, born 1824.
262 vi. Harriet Fowler Hawkins, born 1825 in
Plymouth, Devon, England.
+ 263 vii. Susan Ellis Hawkins, born Bef. 12 Sep 1827.
141. Delia10 Hawkins (Philemon9,
Philemon8, <Unknown>7, <Unknown>6,
John Sidney5, Richard4, John3, William2,
John1) was born Abt. 1744.
She married Leonard Henley Bullock 07 Nov 1760, son of Richard
Bullock and Anne Henley. He was born 17
Nov 1736, and died 1797.
Notes
for Delia Hawkins:
Delia
has a sister, Frances, who more likely is called "Fanny." The book "Southern Kith and Kin"
indicates that Leonard married Fannie Hawkins, daughter of Philemon Hawkins. As that Frances married in 1772, and this one
probably died before the marriage to Susannah Martin Goodloe (who MAY be
descended from Zachariah Martin) in 1766, the book may be wrong.
Delia
died without any children.
17
Nov 1760 was listed as a wedding date - I do not recall where I found it, but
based on Delia's probable birth date, this is not possible.
Notes
for Leonard Henley Bullock:
Leonard
Bullock later married Susannah (Martin) Goodloe.
He
was involved in, and mentioned in, the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals which created
the (short-lived) colony of Transylvania.

Notes
for Lavinia Downs:
Was
she ... or wasn't she ...? The Queen of
Tuckabatchie?
There
is evidence in the Moravian Diaries that Lavinia indicated she was white (See
her father's record). Suspicion that she
was Creek has been voiced since shortly after her death, including comments
such as "there is no truth to the rumor that she was an Indian." However: " ... confirmation that Lavina
Downs was Creek came from the Chehaws who showed Janice [Woods Windle] that the
marriage of Hawkins and Downs is recorded in the official Marriages of the
Muskogee."
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gajones/hawkins.htm
Lavinia
Downs is thought by many family members to be of the Ocmulgee Creek Nation, and
they insist she was first the wife of Chief Long Side of Tuckabatchie
(Tookautchee). He was killed in a raid,
and she was widowed with a young son, Silas.
Her son Silas is said to have been born in 1792 which conflicts with
Lavinia's reported birthdate of 10 May 1781.
The birthdate of her presumed son Silas Downs, however, would have come
at age 10 or 11, if both birthdates are reported correctly.
Lavinia
lived at the Creek agency (in Crawford Co., GA) with her husband, Col. Benjamin
Hawkins until his death. At her death,
over a decade later, she was still living in Crawford County. One of her daughters was buried in Roberta,
the county seat, and records from a lawsuit / complaint indicate that this
daughter, Jeffersonia, lived with Lavinia.
Lavinia was buried at Ft. Hawkins, and her grave is not (obviously)
marked. Her obituary was carried in the
Milledgeville paper, as that town was (then) a major center and the one-time
state capital.
Page
60 of the Crawford County Guardian Bonds Book "A" states that Richard
W. Ellis was appointed adminsitrator of her estate on March 3, 1834. Hiram Troutman and Bryan Bateman acted as
security and a bond of $500 was posted.
The minimal bond indicates that Pound was correct in stating that she
lost most of her inheritance from Benjamin.
Hiram Troutman was the father of Joanna Troutman who sewed the famous
flag carried into the Texas Revolution by the Georgia volunteers.
If
Lavinia was Creek, that fact was kept secret throughout the part of the family
that remained in Water Valley, Mississippi after 1850. The part of the family that moved to San
Marcos kept alive this secret. Her
suspected Creek heritage is commemorated by the book "True Women" by
Janice Woods Windle, which has been made into a mini-series (and slightly
fictionalized by screen-writers).
