Notes for EDMOND HAWES:

Edmond Hawes was born in Solihull, Warwickshire, England in 1608, and was baptized there in t he parish church 15 October 1612. Solihull is a parish about 7 miles southeast of Birmingham . Edmond's English ancestry is traced in great detail by James William Hawes in his genealogy Edmond Hawes of Yarmouth, MA, an Emigrant to America in 1635 (New York, NY, 1914). His parents were Edmond and Jane (Porter) Hawes,of which Edmond was the third and youngest surviving son.

Hillfield Hall, located in Solihull, the ancestral home of the Edmond Hawes line was though t to have been purchased by Thomas Hawes about 1465. Over the eastern tower doorway is a stone panel with the initials WHV (William and Ursala Hawes) and the date 1576, the date they re built the manor house. The manor house is currently a fine restaurant with the stables converted into two pubs.

Robert Hawes, a soap boiler from London, was the first known Hawes to arrive in the Colonies . He settled in Salem, MA in 1635. Edmond arrived on the ship James out of London in 1635 and eventually settled in Yarmouth. Richard, born in Buckinghamshire England in 1606, arrive d in America on the ship Truelove, also in 1635 and settled in Dorchester, MA. Original y a resident of Salem in 1635, Thomas moved to Yarmouth in 1639. Edward is first noted in Dedham in 1648 when he married Eliony Lumber. William settled in Boston in 1652. Although statements have been made that some of the above were brothers, there is no proof that any of them are related.

 

 

Child of EDMOND HAWES is:

11. i. JOHN11 HAWES, b. Bef. 1640; d. November 11, 1701, Barnstable, MA.

 

Generation No. 11

11. JOHN11 HAWES (EDMOND10, EDMOND9, WILLIAM8, THOMAS7, THOMAS6, THOMAS5, THOMAS4 HAW, THOMAS3, JOHN2, RICHARD OR WILLIAM1 DE HAW) was born Bef. 1640, and died November 11, 1701 in Barnstable, MA. He married DESIRE HOWLAND GORHAM October 07, 1661 in Barnstable, MA, daughter of CAPTAIN GORHAM and DESIRE HOWLAND,descendant of John Howland of the Mayflower. 

Notes for JOHN HAWES:

John Hawes was born in Duxbury, MA before 1640. He, like his father, was a cutler. Because he was not treated as a minor (under 21 years of age) on March 5, 1660 when he was put on trial in Plymouth, MA court for the murder of his friend Joseph Rogers, he was probably born between 1635 and 1640. Joseph Robers, Jr. of Eastham, MA lived in Duxbury, had a friendly wre stling match with John Hawes in Eastham on 25 December, 1640, which resulted in an injury tha t caused the death of Robers. John was acquitted at the trial of March 5, 1660.

John was married to Desire Howland Gorham just 7 months later in Barnstable, MA 07 Oct 1661 . Desire, the daughter of Captain John and Desire (Howland) Gorham, was born in Plymouth, M A April 2, 1644. She died in Yarmouth, MA 30 June 1700. Her mother, Desire (Howland) Gorham , was the daughter of John Howland who came from England on the Mayflower in 1620.

On 31 October 1682, John was appointed an Ensign of the Yarmouth military company. About 170 0 he became captain of the company and was called that thereafter. John was the Barnstable t own treasurer from 1695 to 1698. He was chosen a representative in the Legislature at Boston , MA in 1697 and 1698. He died in Barnstable 11 November 1701, from the effect of having hi s leg amputated. The record does not indicate whether or not it was because of an accident o r disease.

John's will was dated 15 October 1701 and proved 19 November 1701. His estate consisted of 5 75 pounds and 11 pence.
