It seems that I was working a little bit on the Hawkins/Glass connections in Owen County, KY in 2012. I must not yet have started this blog site for Hawkins yDNA project. I wrote a blog post on my main blog site that you can read at:

We had a new yDNA participant added to this family group in the last week or so. This family group does a lot of research and has a lot of thoughts on their family line which is a wonderful thing. Jeanne Bornefeld sent me an explanation about John Hawkins of Elk River and John Hawkins, Mariner of New England. Jeanne has given me permission to post her information on the blog site.
Subject: John Hawkins of Elk River and John Hawkins, Mariner of New EnglandI just read your question about John Hawkins, Mariner of New England and John Hawkins of Elk River. I suspect the John Hawkins of Elk River, wife Sarah, attorney Augustine Herman, was the John Hawkins who was murdered by his slave. I think I remember the records say he beat him to death. His wife's attorney was Augustine Herman and she left Maryland and went to New York after the murder. The slave had a trial and was hanged.It looks to me that Robert Barnes has confused the two men named John Hawkins.John Hawkins, Mariner of New England did indeed marry Sarah Damerill, maiden name Minshew, d/o John Minshew and Elizabeth. She was the widow of Humphrey Damerill - 15 Sept 1654. Sarah was b 21 May 1659. They were m by Gov Richard Bellingham, Suffolk Co Mass. No known ch. She had a son, John, to whom John Hawkins gave all the land and holdings he got from the marriage when he left.After John Hawkins arrived in Mass he purchased seats in the State Church in the 1630 and 1632. No. 41 in the list of Church Members. A seat had to be purchased to do business. He was on the Arabella, a ship in the Winthrop Fleet, along with Daniel Hutt and Richard Brenton, people he had business dealings with later. They first settled at Salem, and shortly later went to Boston because it was a better port. he became a Quaker and settled on land in Baltimore/Anne Arundel Cos. He didn't move, the line did.The Provincial Court Records of Maryland tell us Daniel Hutt, an agent of William Brenton, merchant of Boston, hired John Hawkins to carry freight for him. Daniel Hutt was also a Mariner of New England, and settled at Nomini, VA. The name of his "barke" was the May Flower. William Brenton became the Governor of Rhode Island. (There is litigation on whether or not John Hawkins should unload goods for him because Hawkins said Brenton failed to pay him the last time. He asked the Court to make Brenton pay him before he gave him the freight. The court sided with Brenton.In 1651, according to Skordas, he arrived in Maryland1653 - John Hawkins assigned rights to Giles Blake of 100 acres, confirmed 2 May 1653. In May 1653, Robert Burle, clerk, stated that John Hawkins of New England, Mariner, transported himself to the Colony in 1651 and assigned his 100 acres to Giles Blake, by his attorney Nicholas Wyatt. (Nicholas Wyatt was a Quaker who had probably come to America to escape persecution. At a Court held in lower Norfolk Co VA in 1646 William Howell said that he heard William Julian's man, Nicholas Wyatt say that after Henry Merriott was free, he had three years to serve. Liber B. f. 14, Portsmouth VA Court House. In 1653, he was attorney for John Hawkins, to whom an assignment of land had been given, which assignment had been lost.

This morning Family Tree Magazine sent announcement that MyHeritage is offering their autosomal DNA test for $30 for a few days. I had spent several minutes answering a query from a woman who lives .....probably in London.....who has Hawkins maiden name. She has three brothers and a sister or two. Here was my answer to Sally:
Great to hear from you, Sally. This is a good time of year to ask about dna tests as there are always sales at Christmas. I have no way of knowing how much you know….but there are three kinds of dna testing that one can do: yDNA, autosomal, and mtDNA. If you are a beginner with usual questions, you do not need to buy mtDNA as it is the dna passed from mother to all of her children….thus the surname changes with each generation as a woman usually gives her children the surname of their father.
Bob Hawkins who is a participant who connects to family group #5 prepared a paper that he has graciously consented to allow me publish on this blog site. In this paper Bob identifies and clarifies the connection of John Hawkins of New England, Mariner to John Hawkins of Elk River, Maryland and explains that he can find no connection between John Hawkins of New England, Mariner with John Hawkins who was a Quaker of West River who lived in Ann Arundel County. These two men with name John Hawkins who lived in Maryland appear to be separate men. If you have questions, reach out to Bob Hawkins at hawkinsphd@yahoo.com Here is Bob's paper:
Who was John Hawkins of New England, Mariner?
Shortly after the publication of his seminal book BALTIMORE COUNTY FAMILIES, 1659-1759,
Robert Barnes acknowledged a number of additions and corrections. He published some of those
corrections in the December 1989 edition of the Maryland Historical Society’s Notebook1.
Among these changes were revisions to the paragraph on page 310: Namely, “Hawkins, John (1),
formerly of N.Y..” In his update, Barnes indicated that this John Hawkins was a mariner from
Boston who married Sarah Damarill on 15 September 1654. He further states that this is the John
Hawkins formerly of New England who came to Maryland in 1651 and assigned his headrights
to Giles Blake. Barnes finally asserted that “In New York on 30 March 1671 Sarah Hawkins was
appointed admnx. of the est. of her late husband John Hawkins, late a res. of Elk River,
Maryland.” In short, Barnes’ revision says that the person who identified himself as John
Hawkins, of New England, Mariner and transported himself into Maryland in 1651 was the same
as the John Hawkins of Elk River Maryland who died by 1671 leaving a wife Sarah.
Many members of Group 5 identify a Quaker John Hawkins of West River in Ann Arundel
County as their earliest ancestor in Maryland, Moreover, it has become axiomatic to many of
these Group 5 members that the immigrant John Hawkins of West River was the same person as
John Hawkins of New England, Mariner; who came to Maryland in 1651 and assigned his
headrights to Giles Blake. If Barnes’ conclusion that John Hawkins, who self-identified as John
Hawkins of New England, Mariner and the John Hawkins of Elk River were the same person is
correct, it means an abrupt change in the search for their earliest Maryland ancestor for many of
those members of Group 5.
In light of Barnes’ assertions, a reappraisal of evidence linking the John Hawkins of New
England, mariner with both John Hawkins of Elk River and John Hawkins of West River was
made to see if there is any evidence to refute his revision. Presented below are results of an online
search of the colonial archives available in the excellent Archives of Maryland On Line
sites.
Firstly, looking at Maryland land records, the name “John Hawkins of New England, Mariner”,
was found only once. In St. Mary’s County on December 8th, 1663 Daniel Jennifer signed over
land rights to “John Hawkins of New England, Mariner”. A note at the bottom of the document
indicated that the said John Hawkins had 3 warrants for 1300 acres. Unfortunately, the document
does not describe the land or tell us where it was located. Nor does it tell where this John
Hawkins resided. Furthermore, no evidence was found that John Hawkins did indeed exercise
these rights.2
However, two years later, a John Hawkins, Mariner was identified when he acquired property for
which the location of the property and the identification of the owner can be ascertained. On 8
August 1665, John Hawkins, Mariner evidently became established on the Elk River on the
eastern shore of the upper Chesapeake Bay with the assignment to him of a tract of land by John
Collett. The document describes the land as being located in Baltimore County which he, John
Collett, along with his brother Richard, had patented. The assignee was identified as “John
Hawkins of the said county, Mariner”.3 The identification and location of this property can be
inferred from the description of the property during its later sale by Robert Hawkins, the heir and
brother of this John Hawkins.4 That sale described the property as being a six-hundred-acre tract
of land called Two Necks, lying on the East side of the Chesapeake Bay on the Elk River in
Baltimore County that had been granted to John and Richard Collett by Lord Baltimore and later
signed over by John Collett to the late John Hawkins.5.
Then on September 30, 1667, Lord Baltimore granted a one-hundred-and-fifty-acre tract of land
called the Tryangle to John Hawkins of Baltimore County6. Again, the tract was described in a
later sale by John’s brother Robert, as lying on the eastern side of the Chesapeake Bay near the
head of the Bay bounded by land owned by Richard Collett, John Collett and the Elk River7.
On February 16th, 1670-1671, four servants used an axe to murder John Hawkins of Elk River.
Johns’ brother Robert Hawkins was named administrator of his estate and on October 13th, 1672,
his wife Sarah “widow and relic of John Hawkins late of the city of New York deceased”,
appointed Augustine Herman as her power of attorney8. On May, 30, 1673, Robert Hawkins,
brother and heir to John Hawkins of Elk River in Baltimore County, and the administrator of his
estate, disposed of his brother’s real property. Tracts Tryumph, Tryangle, Colletton, and Two
Necks, totaling 1950 acres, were sold to William Dunkerton and Thomas Overton9. Clearly, the
John Hawkins named in these deeds was the same John Hawkins of Elk River listed in Barnes
revision.
In summary, in the land records, the only time that John Hawkins of Elk River was referred to as
a Mariner was in the documentation of the 1665 assignment of Two Necks from John Collett.
However, the multiple business dealings with John and Richard Collett indicate that John
Hawkins of Baltimore County, Mariner and the John Hawkins who held nearly two thousand
acres of land in and around the eastern shore of the upper Chesapeake Bay near the Elk River
were one and the same. Perhaps, with the acquisition of Baltimore County property this John
Hawkins no longer considered himself of “New England” nor a Mariner.
Turning to judicial documents, one of the few times that John Hawkins of New England, Mariner
is identified as such, is in early court records when an indentured servant, one Elizabeth Frame,
petitioned the April 1658 Provincial Court for her freedom. An affidavit was produced in the
proceedings signed by John Hawkins in which he identified himself as John Hawkins of New
England, Mariner10.
While not named as such, there is a John Hawkins, who was an obvious mariner, that appears
often in the Provincial Court Proceedings. In the Provincial Court of Nov 1663 John Hawkins
sued James Jolley for payment of 45436 pounds of tobacco. A warrant to the Sheriff of St
Mary’s County was issued for the arrest of Jolly11. In the same court a Raymond Staplefort
petitioned for payment from James Jolley. In February of the next year, having not received
payment from Jolly for his tobacco, John Hawkins partitioned the court for a lien on Jolly’s
property until payment was made12 and later petitioned the court to take possession of Jolly’s
property for nonpayment of the tobacco13. James Jolly submitted a response to John Hawkins’
petition which was witnessed by Daniel Jennifer14. Probably the same Daniel Jennifer who, in
December 1663 signed over land rights to John Hawkins of New England, Mariner. On the 6th of
April 1664, John Hawkins foreclosed on the estate of James Jolly. The estate included: “1 small
boat, 1 Sloope & Contents rigging and grappling etc”. along with 8 slaves/servants. The
receiving of a small boat along with a Sloope (Sic) and rigging as payment indicates this John
Hawkins was probably a mariner15.
The afore mentioned Raymond Staplefort and John Bayley were business partners owned a ship
named Providence of Petuxent which they leased to John Hawkins and Thomas Wells. The lease
was for six to twelve months and the ship would be carrying freight (probably tobacco) to
Foulstone Creek (Oyster Bay Long Island)16. For whatever reason Staplefort and Bayley had a
disagreement which made the ship unavailable for use and Hawkins and Wells seized the ship
for payment of lost revenue. The court proceedings that followed provides substantial
information about that John Hawkins.
In the March 1664 Court, Raymond Staplefort sued John Bayley for breach of contract. The
court directed the Sheriff of St Mary’s County to prepare John Hawkins as a witness for the
plaintiff. Apparently, at this time John Hawkins was still living, or at least residing in St. Mary’s
County17. Because the vessel had not been returned, in the March Court of 1665 Stapleforth
requested the Provincial Court issue a warrant to the Sheriff of Baltimore County to arrest and
return Hawkins and Wells to the next scheduled Court. Obviously, John Hawkins was a mariner
and probably now living or residing in Baltimore County18. From the above discussion of land
records, John Hawkins of Baltimore County, mariner had purchased the tract Two Necks in
Baltimore County from John Collette in August 1665. However, the court, in the same session
directed a warrant be issued for John Hawkins and Thomas Wells in St Mary’s County “or any
other County” for a debt of 250 pounds owed to John Bayley. Perhaps an indication that this was
a transition time for John Hawkins and that the court really didn’t know his whereabouts19. The
April 1665 session of the Provincial Court ordered the Sheriff of St Mary’s County to seize the
vessel and hold it until the next court session until the legal proceedings between Staplefort and
Bayley could be resolved20. In the October 1665 court, John Bayley requested a summons for the
Sheriff of Baltimore County to provide John Hawkins as a witness21, indicating that John
Hawkins was probably residing at Two Necks by that time.
The Provincial Court documents tell us that John Hawkins was apparently a savvy business man
and somewhat of a Rounder, and possibly a tobacco farmer. He certainly was in the business of
buying, selling, and transporting tobacco. The Staplefort/Bayley affair tells us that he was also a
Mariner who spent some time in or had business dealings in St. Mary’s County but, by 1664/65
was located in Baltimore County. What’s more, the same Daniel Jennifer who sold land rights
over to John Hawkins of New England, Mariner was a witness to the lawsuit between that John
Hawkins and James Jolly linking these men named John Hawkins. While not providing direct
evidence that the John Hawkins of Elk River and the John Hawkins of New England, Mariner
were the same person, the Provincial Court documents certainly don’t exclude that possibility.
To be sure, there could have been two people: John Hawkins of Elk River who identified himself
as Mariner, and another John Hawkins of New England, Mariner but the available court
documents don’t support such a conclusion.
Of particular interest to many members of Group 5 is any evidence that points to the immigrant
Quaker John Hawkins of West River in Ann Arundel County being the John Hawkins of New
England, Mariner. Trying to link John Hawkins of West River with John Hawkins of New
England, Mariner through legal records proved to be difficult. I have been unable to find court
proceedings in the relevant time frame, that identifies a John Hawkins as being from West River
or even from Anne Arundel County. Perhaps that should not be surprising. The minutes of the
first Meeting at West River are dated 1692, but previous to that, the Meetings were held for
several years in the homes of various members. West River, on the western shore of the
Chesapeake Bay in Anne Arundel County, became the center of Quaker activity and was wellknown
for social activities and dealings, trading, and other business activities. Many actions
were taken outside the purview of the local government. Perhaps that’s the reason that John
Hawkins of West River is not mentioned in the Provincial Court Proceedings. Clearly then, the
proceedings do not connect John Hawkins of West River with John Hawkins of New England,
Mariner.
Looking at land records, in 1659, one James Bonner patented a tract of land called Great
Bonnerstone. The reverse side of the patent document, showed James Bonner reassigning the
tract to Jno Hawkins and below that was recorded the conveyance of half of the Bonerstone tract
to William Cole. Neither of these documents identified John Hawkins as being of New England
nor as being a Mariner. The property was described as being “on the west side of Chesapeake
Bay on the north side of a river in said Bay called West River and on the north side of a creek in
the said river called Cedar Creek”22. In April 1663 John Hawkins sold the remainder of the Great
Bonnerstone tract to William Cole. On the document, the Quaker John Hawkins identified
himself as John Hawkins and signed it as Jno Hawkins23. The location of the property leaves
little doubt that Great Bonnerstone was assigned to the John Hawkins of West River. On the
deed of sale, this John Hawkins identified himself simply as Jno Hawkins.
In 1668, a John Hawkins patented a tract called Bolealmonack. The documents show that he was
referred to simply as John Hawkins24. Sixteen years later, on August 12th, 1684 John Hawkins of
Anne Arundel County, identified as “son and heir of John Hawkins late of the said county” sold
Bolealmonack to William Constable. The deed indicated that “the said parcel of land was taken
up by the said John Hawkins deceased father of the said John Hawkins…”25.
Only two property transactions were found relating to John Hawkins of West River. Neither the
Bonnerstone nor the Bolealmonack documents identify him as John Hawkins as of New England,
Mariner. In short, no evidence was found in the Provincial Court proceedings nor in the land
transactions that link the Quaker John Hawkins of West River in Ann Arundel County with the
John Hawkins, of New England, Mariner.
The immigrant Quaker John Hawkins of West River died testate and left a will dated February 3
167026. Of note for this discussion is the preamble to his will: “ye same being intended a voyage
for New England and not knowing how ye Lord will be pleased to dispose of this vessel therefore
make this my last will and testament”. Much has been made of this statement in the argument
that it identifies this John Hawkins as being a Mariner. Yet, one must ask why a mariner, who
would have made tens if not over a hundred voyages to New England would feel the need to put
this statement in his will. On the contrary, this sounds more like a person who is facing an
upcoming voyage; something uncommon and frightening, and his fears compelled him to make
his last will and testament.
What’s more, the inventory of the estate of the immigrant Quaker John Hawkins dated June 8
1676 does not list any of the possessions that would be expected of a mariner. There are no sea
chest, compasses, spyglasses, quadrants, charts or atlases that one would expect a mariner to
have on hand. No knives, needles, hooks, marlinespikes, or fids. The immigrant Quaker John
Hawkins’ estate consisted of items that would be expected of a farmer: Hogs, cows, yearlings,
heifers and branding irons. With cups, carafes, pots and miscellaneous furniture rounding out the
inventory27.
Not only did John Hawkins of West River not own any of the possessions one would expect of a
Mariner, one could argue that the inventory, instead showed that he was a prosperous, if not rich
farmer. Moreover, it would seem that, because of his anxiety of traveling by ship, he felt obliged
to make his will at that time and his fear was indicated in the preamble.
Barnes, in his December 1989 revision tells us that John Hawkins from Elk River, was a
Mariner, from Boston, Massachusetts where he married on September 15th 1654, Sarah, the
widow of Humphrey Damarill. He also tells us that in New York on March 30th, 1671, “Sarah
Hawkins” was appointed to administer the estate of her “late husband John Hawkins, late a
resident of Elk River” Maryland28. These facts certainly qualify John Hawkins of Elk River as
being “of New England” and also a Mariner. Furthermore, one can reasonably claim that this,
along with the preponderance of evidence from land and court records proves that John Hawkins
of Elk River Maryland is the same John Hawkins who, in legal documents, self-identified as
John Hawkins, of New England, Mariner. What’s more, none of the property and probate
documents of John Hawkins of West River, link him to John Hawkins, of New England,
Mariner. Clearly, Hawkins members of Group 5 should be cautious when conflating the Quaker
John Hawkins of West River with the John Hawkins, of New England, Mariner.
