Note 1
!Note: Edmond starts the York “de Haukesgarth” or "Hawkesworth" surname line with its many variations.
When Hugh le Mon de Hokeswod's grandson, Adam Hotchkiss de Haukesgarth made his way to York, he hadn’t yet adopted the Hotchkiss name. Instead, he used "de Hawkeswood" —
which the scribes of York stylized into a variety of poetic woodland names:
Haukesgarth – "hawk’s protected grove"
Haukeswell – "hawk’s woodland spring"
Hawkesworth – "hawk’s wooded farmstead"
Hawkeswold – "hawk’s windy wood": open, highland woodland — chilly, windswept, and exactly where you’d expect a hawk to rule the skies.
The use of the estate-based surname and the generational fit both support the theory that Edmond was the brother of Roger, the first actual bearer of the Hotchkiss
surname. Both came from Hawkeswood. The earliest freeman entries in York date to 1335–1347. His probate represents one of the earliest confirmed uses of the
Hawksworth name in Yorkshire, marking a key point in the scribal evolution from Hawkeswood to Hawksworth as a distinct surname.
