Chuck pointed out that Capt Thomas Hawkins of Old Rappahannock is not to be confused with the Thomas Hawkins of Northumberland County who was married to Elizabeth (Stepping?) who later married Seth Foster and had a son Thomas Jr. <br />Chuck said:<br />"Captain Thomas Hawkins was in Old Rappahannock County by 1655 when he presented the Colony with a request for a patent for importing individuals to Virginia... He may have been inported earlier by Thomas Lucas, possibly in 1653. Nugent's _Cavaliers and Pioneers_, Volume I, has a number of Thomas Hawkins in Charles River County as early as 21 November 1635. Thomas Hawkins was a resident of Sittingbourne Parish, Old Rappahannock County, Virginia. Sittingbourne Parish was formed from Farnham Parish in 1661, becoming the second and frontier parish in Old Rappahannock County, and lying on both sides of the Rappahannock River. A deed dated 20 July 1661 describes property on the South Side of the Rappahannock County received by Thomas and Mary Hawkins from Francis Morrison. This would place the Hawkins family in the now Essex County part of Sittingborne Parish.<br />"Thomas Hawkins married first Mary Lucas, daughter of Thomas Lucas. This marriage probably occurred in Old Rappahannock County in 1653 or shortly thereafter (based on possible importation year of Thomas Hawkins by Thomas Lucas.). Mary died between 1670 and 1673. She was mentioned in a land transaction in 1670 but was not mentioned in Thomas Lucas's will of 1673. Thomas Hawkins married secondly Frances Bloomfield, sister of Samuel Bloomfield. Thomas and Frances may have had one child from that marriage as he discusses changes to his will depending of the sex of the child that Frances was carrying. . Thomas Hawkins died after 8 February 1675 when his will was written. Frances (Bloomfield) Hawkins remarried after Thomas Hawkins died. She may have married Captain William Moseley as John Hawkins, a minor child of Thomas Hawkins selected Mosely as his guardian. [Hannah married William Mosely; her brother probably chose his new brother-in-law]<br />"Children of Thomas and Mary Hawkins:<br />John Hawkins<br />Thomas Hawkins<br />Elizabeth Hawkins<br />Hannah Hawkins<br />Mary Hawkins. May have died between 1673 and 1675 as she appears in Lucas's will as a granddaughter but is not identified in Thomas Hawkins will.<br />"John, Elizabeth and Hannah Hawkins were minors in the year Hawkins died as he comments in his will on they [sic] being minors."The Book Doctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549675812434615130noreply@blogger.com
