You ask about Group # 5 Hawkins relationship to Sarah Hawkins Sevier. There is no relationship.
John Hawkins, Mariner of New England came with the Winthrop Fleet,1630. He was born ca 1599/1600. He immigrated into Maryland in 1651. He was a mariner and was in and out of Maryland many times. He died by 17 March 1675. He wrote his will 3 Feb 1670 and it was in 1676, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, when his relatives, Robert Franklyn and Walter Carr, signed the appraisal of his earthly goods.. When he lived in Maryland, he was always in Anne Arundel County on the Patapsco River where it runs into the Bay under the Chesepeake Bridge. He was an early Quaker in Maryland and they met at first at William Richardson's house, and later at West River.
He first married in New England. She was a widow who died. No children from that marriage. She brought a son into the marriage. John Hawkins signed all property over to her son that she brought in to the marriage when she died and he left Mass. He married 2nd to Mary. I have not been able to identify Mary. John and Mary had: John, Augustine, Matthew, Anne, Joseph, and Thomas - not in birth order.
I descend from Matthew who married 1st Ann Parrish; and, 2nd Mary Parrish. Both women were daughters of Edward Parrish. Matthew and Ann had: Anne, b 1693; Matthew, b 1694.
Matthew and Mary had: Mary, b 1697, Dinah, b 1699, Augustine, b 1702, and Rebecca, b 1704. Matthew wrote his will in 1705 and died shortly after. Matthew wanted his brother, Thomas, to raise his children, as Mary had predeceased him. Thomas declined and Joseph raised his children.
Rebecca Hawkins appears to have grown up in Joseph's household. She conceived a son, Nathan, who was born 16 Nov 1722, Baltimore County, Maryland. He died in Sullivan County, N. C. His estate settlement was1781-1783. The estate settlements are bundled together in that time period. He married Ruth Cole in Baltimore County, MD on 14 Feb 1744 at St. Paul's Church, Baltimore Co., MD.
Nathan's and Ruth's children were born in MD. Nathan and his son, Aaron, both signed a petition to move the county seat of Baltimore from Old Joppa to Baltimore Town. By the very early 1770's, Nathan, Aaron, and another son, Matthew, are in the VA Colonial Government Records as having served under David Looney in the Fincastle County Militia. These records are in the Virginia State Library.
We have the male Hawkins line through the YDNA of Nathan's sons and his mother, Rebecca's, brother's male descendants.
Children out of marriage of Nathan Hawkins and Ruth Cole, both of Baltimore County, Maryland:
Aaron, b MD, served in the Fincastle County, Virginia Militia during Lord Dunmore's War in the Valley of Virginia under David Looney. He owned land in Sullivan and Washington Counties, NC/TN. He married Margaret Stonecypher. Aaron died during the Rev War in the late 1770's- early1780's. Matthew took Aaron's widowed wife, Margaret, and her children, his own wife and their children, and several neighbors and friends to Greeneville, SC (the Upcountry) for safety under King George. Where they stayed until 1799, when they started meandering back up to Knox Co and the environs.
Matthew, b MD, served in the Fincastle County, Virginia Militia during Lord Dunmore's War under David Looney. The abovementioned Matthew left E. TN. for the Yellow Banks (Owensborough, KY) in 1817, where he stayed until ca 1824 when he left for land in Fountain Co IN. However, he died on Honey Creek Prairie in Vigo County, IN.ca 1814. His wife continued on up to Fountain Co with many of the same people who had originally gone to SC earlier.

Janaluska - a respected leader, led the battle at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, in 1814. They were stationed at Fort Strother on the Coosa River in Alabama. It was part of the 1812 War- aka the Creek Indian War. Loyalties were not set in stone.)
