Notes

Note 1

!Stylename: Hawkins, Captain Thomas, of Newcastle [~1276 - ?]

!Note: How the Early Hawkins Inheritance Likely Worked

John and his son William held land from Hawkeswood, Shropshire to Hawkinge, Kent and in between.

They gained more land through service at Dover Castle.

Dover Castle assigned them Hawkinge, apparently so they could prepare it for the church.

Nash was part of Hawkinge but stayed with the family.

Their land included properties in Warwickshire and Hereford and Wiltshire and Kent and apparently Huntingdonshire.

A. Children of John. In 1303 John and William went to Shropshire to clear up their interest in Hawkeswood and other land in and near Shropshire.

1. William was John's main heir aside from the following.

2. John and William sold their portion of Hawkeswood and other Shropshire land to Hugh le Mon who was also John's son and the father of the Hotchkiss line.

3. Warren who was also John's son, and father of the Hill line, was likely setup with his feoffment of nearby Neenton. The later lifetime lease in 1328 only confirmed this arrangement.

4. Simon, John's younger son, received land in Huntingdonshire.

B. Children of William

1. Also on that 1303 trip, John, Williams 2nd son, born about 1272, was apparently put in charge of land in Warwickshire and nearby counties.

2. Thomas was sent into royal service while still young. <<<<

3. Sir Andrew, as the first born, would be the main heir.

4. Stephen stayed with Andrew and later received York land himself. He likely received other lands which he passed to his own sons.

C. Children of Andrew from his first wife. Andrew's first wife likely brought York land into the family.

1. Nicholas received the main York land.

2. Henry received land in Nottinghamshire and in Norfolk.

3. Andrew II also received York land.

4. Roger came of age after Joan married Andrew. Andrew held Devon land through Joan and shared part of it with Roger.

5. Alexander received small pieces of land in Kent.

D. Children of John from his second wife Joan, who most likely brought lans from Devon and Cornwall with her dowry.

The Nash Estate became the family home after Hawkinge Manor was given to the church.

After Andrew died in 1321 Joan held Nash for her life, and was thus called Joan of Nash.

She apparently had the ability to distribute portions of the remaining property to her children as they came of age.

1. When Joan died Nash and the remaining lands, mostly in Kent and nearby counties, passed to her first son John I of Nash.

2. Margery was given a small York estate at age 2 1/2. Stephen was her guardian and added more land to her share when he died.

4. When Joan died the rest of the Devon land went to Sir Richard, alias Hankeford. He likely also received more in knight's service.
