Notes

Note 1

!Note: Wiltshire Inquisition Post Mortem Records – Contextual Placement:

Thomas is likely a a son of John Hawkins, which was put in charge of the original Warwkickshire properties, and a grandson of William Hawkins de Fleg and the original inheritor of the original Wiltshire properties from John and William. Thus he is associated with a Wiltshire Inquisition Post Mortem record dated between 1327 and 1377. The names and dates align closely with John and William Hawkins , who were responsible for the 1294–1295 donation of the Manor of Hawkinge and Flegis Court to St. Radegund’s Abbey. They retained the adjacent Nash Court estate, which became the long-term seat of the Hawkins family in Kent. The Wiltshire entries strongly suggest that William and John le Haukere were the same individuals involved in that donation — likely appearing in these records due to ongoing legal obligations, land transactions, or ecclesiastical claims tied to the Abbey and its holdings. Wiltshire, on the road to Kent from Shropehire or Devon, was within the geographic sphere of Folkestone barony interests. These records may reflect transitional property holdings or residual duties related to the Kent estates, especially as such matters often spanned decades. The presence of Thomas may represent either a close kin or administrative witness tied to the same affairs.
