!Stylename: Hawkins, Thomas, of Fleckenhoe [~1385 - >1456]
Notes: The “Hoggekins” spellings in the Warwickshire, Sussex, and Kent records appear to represent the Hawkins family rather than a separate surname. The "gg" was most likely a misinterpretation of the secretary hand "w" in Hawkins. The line originated in Shropshire, moved into Kent in early service holdings, and later managed portions of the estate from Warwickshire, where clerks unfamiliar with the name recorded it in distorted forms that were subsequently copied into later deeds. This was preserved as the land was handled by correspondence. When a later heir resettled near the Kent relatives, the inherited documentary spelling persisted even though the family locally used Hawkins. The records therefore reflect continuity of one landholding line across generations rather than separate families.

Language: English
Note: Hoggekins in Warwickshire where we have a Hawkins group not far from the main Hotchkiss line seems to often be on of two possible errors:
1. Secretary hand w misread as gg. It could also go the other wau with gg misread as w.
2. Scribe actually mixing up the two surnames.
