William Hawkins of York Co., VA

Thanks to all who have shared and made this information possible. This listing is certain to include errors and omissions. Please help improve this page by sharing your corrections and additions. This William Hawkins, long suspected to be closely related to Sir John Hawkins, may not be. The name of his wife, Sarah Kahn or Sarah Khan, is suspiciously close to the name of a well-documented spouse of another William Hawkins. Her name was Miriam Khan, the daughter of a mogul from Agra, India.

 

 

Descendants of William Hawkins

 

 

1. William1 Hawkins was born 28 Feb 1586/87 in England, and died Aft. 25 Jun 1655 in York Co., VA. He married Sarah .

 

Notes for William Hawkins:

 

He landed in Norfolk Co., but by 1637 he had bought land and had a plantation along the New Poquoson River near James Cittie. He bought land adjoining Peter Rigsby's plantation. Uncertain what records, if any, identified him to an earlier researcher as a son of William Hawkins and Mary Halse.

 

VIRGINIA COLONIAL ABSTRACTS VOL. 25" Beverly Fleet p22 1646

 

"p.182. "It is ordered by the consent of William Hawkins that the stocke of Catle this Day by him presented to the Court belonging to Argall Blacksone (sic) which were given him by his Grandfather shall be by him kept with all the female increase for the said orphant without any future charge for there keeping or the mentanaince and Educacon of the said Argall Blackstone" (sic)."

 

"p183. "The stock of Catle belonging to Argall Blackstone (sic) are as followeth 3 Cowes one Cowe Calf"

 

Will of William Hawkins, York County VA 24 March 1654, recorded 25 June 1655.

 

I give at my death my entire estate to my wife Sarah. After her decease all will go to my son in law Argall Blackstone and his wife Millicent Hawkins with two exceptions. First to my son in law John Wright husband of daughter Sarah one heifer. John is son of Edward Wright. Number two, a Silver Flaagon for the use of all the inhabitants of York Parish in the Church. (x) the Mark of William Hawkins. Witness John (X) Humphreys and Jer. Hope. [Note: I have not seen this will and am told that Millicent may not be mentioned - and that Argyle may be a step-son, not a son-in-law, as the term would also be used.]

 

Son John stayed in York Co. and was the father of Edward Hawkins and John Hawkins who died 1717 York Co. and left a will.

 

Most records were destroyed and some of the connections to Michael Hawkins are speculative.

 

William had a son Thomas. Court Records Bk. 2, p. 302: A Court for York Co., Va. 30 Nov. 1647, 11/12/1647 :"Whereas a certeyne dwelling house and orchard where William Hawkins now liveth fell into the plantation of Peeter Rigby by survey late made upon the severall lands of the said Wm Hawkins and Peeter Rigby". Rigby now gives this land to Thomas Hawkins, son of Wm. Hawkins. Peeter Rigby had bought 200 acres of glebe land a few months before and the survey revealed that William Hawkins had built on a part of that land. I assume that the son Thomas was living in the house involved, it having been given to him by his father so Peeter gave the house and orchard to Thomas.

 

[Note: Another Thomas Hawkins, likely of Co. Kent, England, resided adjacent Col. Thomas Lucas and married his daughter, Mary Lucas. Info connecting this man with that one should be considered speculative.]

 

Note: 8 generations

 

Notes for Sarah :

 

It seems unlikely that this William Hawkins married a Kahn - a well documented William Hawkins (who d 1613 at sea and is buried in Ireland) did marry Mariam Khan, daughter of the mogul Mubarik Khan, a Christian Armenian at the court of Agra in India. That William Hawkins was related to Sir John Hawkins.

 

 

Children of William Hawkins and Sarah are:

 

+ 2 i. John2 Hawkins, born Abt. 1615 in England; died Abt. 1675 in York Co., VA.

 

3 ii. Sarah Hawkins. She married John Wright.

 

+ 4 iii. Millicent Hawkins.

 

5 iv. Thomas Hawkins.
