Note 1
!Stylename: Hawkins / Hankeford, Sir Richard II., of Annery in Devon [~1397-~1430]
!Note: Only known son of Sir Richard Hawkins and Thomasin, recorded in the 1437 Inquisition Post Mortem. Though not represented in the Kent visitation, likely due to his residence and inheritance in Devon, he may have been the transition point for the Hawkins Devonshire branch, culminating in Vicar John Hawkins .
!Note: Ann dies first → Joint IPM in 1430 for her dower rights .
Richard dies ~1436 → Full IPM in 1437 to determine the status of his holdings and minor heirs .
!Note: Name Confusion Warning:
Several knights of the Hawkins family were recorded as “Hankford” in official titles, particularly in Devon records. This likely stems from a scribal misreading during knighthood documentation, compounded by estate associations. Contemporary family and Kent records retain “Hawkins,” but formal documents reflect the Hankford variation due to inherited title usage. They are the same people.
