Note: It isn’t clear from this record whether Richard or Margaret is the one who died. If Margaret is still alive, then this is an IPM for her husband Richard, and the court is checking who should inherit the land while she still holds it. If Margaret is the one who died, then this record belongs to a different Margaret Hawkins, not this one. The Hawkins name had only been around for a few generations by this time, so another Margaret is not very likely, but it could have happened, especially since daughters were not always written down in records. There were two other Hawkins men alive then who might have had a daughter named Margaret.
