Notes

Note 1

!Stylename: Hawkins, William, MP [~1380 - ?]

!Note: Devon line from Roger Hawkins abt 1288.

!Note: Hankessok is a likely regional or scribal misreading of Hawkins, where the "wk" is mistaken for "nk", and the Anglo-Saxon scribes substituted endings to avoid the soft "kis/kins" form. Likely unique to Wiltshire and nearby counties during the 14th–15th centuries.
