Notes
|
John emigrated to Virginia in 1705, along with his sisters and Colonel Thomas Langford, and settled in St. Anne's Parish, Essex, County. John later acquired 1280 acres of land in St. George's Parish, Spotsylvania County from one source and the same day acquired 501 acres from Larkin Chew, then 2 years later acquired 400 more acres, showing that his business was profitable.
John was a lawyer. The recordings of Essex County Virginia are full of civil and other actions in which John's name is included. The first recording is not very flattering because it is a recording of a verbal apology to the Justices of Essex County by John for his "intemperate" remarks against the Justices which John attributed to "passion and too much to drink". John was very young and probably a proud individual since his great Grandfather was a famous British Naval hero and the courts in Virginia were British at that time.
In time John willed all his property to his children.

The following article, "The Hawkins Family Among America's Earliest Settlers" was written by Lizzie Hawkins Dean " found in files at The Filson Club, Louisville, KY. and is reprinted from a 1914 issue of "The Jeffersonian" newspaper of Louisville, Kentucky. "Fairmount, Sept. 6 -- Among the earlier settlers in the English Colony in America was William Hawkins, one of the younger sons of Sir John Hawkins, a Rear Admiral in the British Navy under Queen Elizabeth, the Virgin Queen after whom the colonists named their settlement in honor of her virginity and Virginia is has been called ever since. "William Hawkins migrated from England and took possession of his father's land (see father's bio). He lived to be 114 years old and reared 12 sons, who eventually scattered out all over the British territory hee. One of these sons founded Hawkinsville, Tennessee. Still another settled in Mississippi, and another, Reuben Hawkins, brought his entire connections to what is now the State of Kentucky.
