Notes

Note 1

Note: This appears to be the oldest known Hawkins before the discovery of A Hawkins Genealogy, Vol. 2. The Thomas in that book matches this Thomas, so I am recording him as William’s father. Thomas is also listed in the Visitation, although his children do not appear there. Since Captain John is the next identifiable member of the line, William fits as his father by both chronology and elimination — there is no competing brother or parallel candidate. His placement here also explains, in the only configuration the surviving records allow, how Captain John became the Hankeford heir in Devon. While not formally “proved,” this arrangement is the only one that fits all known evidence.
