Note 1

!Note: This William, rector of a mediety in Yorkshire at his death in 1431, is likely the same individual listed in Salisbury’s clerical tax poll [1377–81] under the name “William Hauk,” reflecting early ecclesiastical training or sponsorship possibly connected to the family’s Kent holdings and church ties through Hawkinge. His dual presence in Wiltshire and Yorkshire clerical records exemplifies the Hawkins tradition of younger sons entering the church — and illustrates how regional name variants [Hauk, Hackness, Haknes] can obscure clear family links.
