Misc. Notes
To date it is not known if Robert Hawkins was a descendant of the Hawkins who lived at Nash Court, nor a descendant of Osbert de Hawkynns, or even entitled to the use of the above described heraldic arms. However, one Hawkins family genealogist Mrs. Emilt J. Hawkins, states that Robert Hawkins was born in 1610 in County Essex. Robert came from Braintree parish, Essex County, England.
It was in the later end of the month of April in 1635, that Robert Hawkynns (occupation - Husbandman) and his wife Marie, ages 25 and 24, boarded the ship ‘Elizabeth and Ann,’ with Captain Roger Cooper at the helm.
The Hawkynns were not members of any apostate faith, but members of the Church of England.
The meaning of subsedy men is that Robert Hawkins was a free man traveling to New England. He was sent here as an employee of a company who paid his passage nor was he indentured as a servant to someone in New England who paid his passage.
The ‘Elizabeth & Ann’ arrived in Boston harbor a couple of months later and the Hawkins family built a house and a windmill on the hill in the neighboring town of Charlestown, where Mary Hawkins was admitted to membership in the First Church of Charlestown on the 8th of January in 1636 and her husband was admitted a few months later on the 17th of April.
Ralph C. Hawkins, author of The Hawkins Family, writes that “This undoubtedly was an epoch in their lives in the colonies as church membership was opened only to those who met the exacting standards set by the Puritan fathers.”
But obtaining membership in the church wasn’t the only epic event for Robert Hawkins. For several months later he took the ‘Oath of a Freeman’ on the 25th of July. By being made a ‘Freeman,’ several opportunities and privileges were open to him and he was now among the elite in social status. Some of those privileges being the right to franchise and to hold office, also to vote.
At the home next to the windmill on the hill, the family lived until 1638 when Robert sold the house to a foreigner. He made the sale without the consent of the town directors and was fined. Also in this year he witnessed the will of Edward Wilson of the 19th of June.
By 1638 Hawkins had received from the town authorities several grants of land which are recorded as two acres at Southfield with a house upon it (which is probably his residence), 1 3/4 acres of cow commons, two acres of fresh meadow, ten acres of woods, four acres at Linefield, and twenty-five acres at Waterfield. On the 9th of May in 1646, the cow commons was sold to Gardy James, and the town granted Hawkins meadow land in 1644-1645.
Hawkins appears to have bought a lot at New Haven Colony (Connecticut) around 1649 according to Donald Lines Jacobus, but he never lived there. By the records he appears to have died about 1650.
A Robert Hawkins is recorded in the town records as having died on the 11th of September in 1704. Which funeral was great, and was buried the following day.
Robert and Mary (???) Hawkins only had three known sons, however it is quite certain that they had several daughters who are yet to be discovered.
