Here is Jeanne's Hawkins line information:
John Hawkins, Mariner of New England, was probably born
about 1600. From quotes of his statements given by an indentured woman,
Elizabeth Frame, his choice of words and placement of them in his statements,
make him sound Scot. He is said to have been one of the first Quakers on North American soil.
He is found first in Massachusetts. He immigrated into Maryland in 1651 from New England, as
stated in immigration records (Gus Skordas). He died by 17 March 1675. His will
was written 3 February 1670 at the home of William Richardson in Anne Arundell
County, Maryland. At the time Wiliam Richardson, John Hawkins, Mariner of New
England, and his witnesses, John Teage, Jr., Thomas Hooker, Joshua Shaller -
were all Quakers. They all signed their names on the will, including the
testator, John Hawkins.
The above information is from original documents.

Two Rebecca Hawkins
Rebecca Emerson/Emson was alive and well and distributing
her husband's estate as Rebecca Hawkins at the same time as Rebecca Hawkins,(
d/o Matthew Hawkins, s/o of John Hawkins, Mariner of New England), was alive
and well as Rebecca Gain, w/o William Gain; Rebecca Boring, as wife of James
Boring; and Rebecca Frazier, wife of John Frazier, whom she outlived.
These two Rebeccas were contemporaries of each other, not
the same person. Rebecca (Hawkins) Boring as the widow of James Boring was
called into court to tell where she buried James Boring's body and brought
along her son, Nathan to testify. He referred to James Boring as his father in
law, meaning his father according to the law when he was the husband of his mother,
Rebecca.
Rebecca Hawkins m William Gain on 1 Aug 1727 at St. Paul's,
Baltimore Co MD. Ch: Elizabeth, b 13 Jan 1727; John, b 16 Sept 1730.
Rebecca Hawkins m James Boring on 5 Aug 1734;d by 15 April
1738 when adm Bond was posted by Rebecca, with Charles Green and John Green;
est admn 18 Oct 1741 by Rebecca, now wife of John Frazier, est again adm on 17
mar 1742.
Rebecca Hawkins m John Frazier ca 1739. Ch: Ruth, b ca 1740, m John Osborne;
Elizabeth, b ca 1742, m ---Brown; John b ca 1744.
Rebecca Hawkins, daughter of Matthew Hawkins, was b 1704,
and was the mother of Nathan Hawkins. Nathan's YDNA matches her male line. She
was orphaned at a young age and the raising of her left to Matthew's brothers,
Joseph and Thomas. Thomas demurred and Joseph raised her.
I have found no records that any one of this family owned
slaves. John Hawkins, Mariner of New England, had indentured servants. Matthew
Hawkins, his son, married the Parrish sisters, whose father Edward's family had
indentured servants, also. This information is from original litigation
records.

My third cousin's DNA was recently classified as being part of this Group #5 which was exciting for all of us who are descendants of Matthew Hawkins Sr. of Culpeper Co. VA who died in 1820. His children by first wife Hannah Maxwell were sons: John (moved to Rowan Co. NC), James and Job and daughters: Phoebe, Mary, Elizabeth and Susanna. By his 2nd wife he had a daughter Rebecca. In his will he appoints his sons Job and James and his grandson Augustine as executors. Augustine was the son of James and is my great great grandfather.
ReplyDeleteG'ma Joyce is in reality Joyce Colleen Williams Libes. Nancy Hawkins Knighting of Madison, VA contacted me via Facebook and we shared info and realized we shared the same great great grandparents who lived in the same area as Nancy does today. She talked her brother into taking the DNA test...the results of that answered lots of questions and verified a lot of our speculations, suspicions and educated guesses.
