Notes

Note 1

!Note: The wills of William Hawkins and John Hawkins are attributed to the same sibling generation, descending from the early Kentish Nash Court Hawkins family. These two men are placed as younger brothers of Thomas Hawkins , based on matching birth ranges, shared court jurisdiction, and geographic proximity in mid-Kent, with residences within 10 miles. This grouping solidifies the structure of the early 15th-century Hawkins generation, providing a foundation from which later lines descend.
