Thread: Matthew Hawkins, Hannah Gage

neko · 13-07-2007, 07:12 AM

I am trying to find an early parish or non-conformist baptism for my 6x great grandparents....

Matthew Hawkins
born about 1686 possibly Coggeshall, Essex
died 25 Jan 1761 Colchester
married 8 May 1708 Colchester Quaker Meeting
Hannah Gage
born about 1689
died 28 Jan 1748 Colchester

they are not in the Colchester Meeting records for their births.
there is an intriguing family in Quaker records and I wonder if they are part of his family.

from my own research;
there is a William and Priscilla Hawkins of Coggeshall who have 3 children recorded in the Essex yearly meeting vital record index. they are not mentioned in Colchester Quakers.
although Matthew is not listed among these children, if William was alive in 1686, then it is possible that they are my Matthew's parents. however, the last child listed for William and Priscilla, Will Hawkins, was b. in 1672. more research is needed, and it may be that these are not Matthew's parents.
the reason I have placed a Priscilla for Matthew's mother is that a Priscilla Hawkins, Sr. is listed on his marriage record.

possible brothers;
Christopher b. 1682
John b. 1677
William d. 1742-is this the Will Hawkins b. 1672 mentioned above?

parents and relatives on Matthew and Hannah's marriage record;
Hannah GAGE (mother of the bride?)
Priscilla HAWKINS, Sr. (mother of the groom?)
John HAWKINS brother?
Wm HAWKINS (a Wm HAWKINS m. a Priscilla Salmon)
Christopher HAWKINS
Mary HAWKINS
Priscilla HAWKINS Junr
Sarah GAGE nee CLARK (d./bur Jul 4 1719)
Wm COCKERILL
Sarah COCKERILL nee HAILOCK, 2nd wife of William
Joseph PITCHFORD
Matthew PITCHFORD m. Rebecca BAILEY
Willm HALLY
Sarah HALLY nee PITCHFORD wife of William
John LILLY
Margaret LILLY nee MERINGTON wife of John

Christopher Hawkins was b. 28 Dec 1636 in Chelmsford, Essex, England, the son of John Hawkins
he m. 5 Nov 1674 in Great Coggeshall, Essex, England to Mary Guyon. they are not the Christopher and Mary on this marriage record, but are probably related.

Colchester Quakers;
Christopher Hawkins b. 1682 d. 1764 and his wife Martha d. 1758
dau Hannah b. 1717
son Christopher d. 1751

on the marriage record of John Hawkins to Elizabeth Thorpe, Matthew is listed as a relative. unfortunately the record mentions neither of their parents. I believe Elizabeth's previous husband was Thomas Thorpe, and that her maiden name is Haskin. I also think it may be that the Haskin's and the Hawkins surname may be interchangeable, as I find in Colchester Quakers a Matthew Haskin and his wife Hannah with a son Matthew b. 1715. this matches my two Matthew Hawkins, and could be a duplicate record. also, though I can't find connections of the following names in the Thorpe and Hawkins listings in Colchester Quaker, I find almost all of them connected with the Haskin line-which may just mean they are all related to Elizabeth and I'm barking up the wrong tree.
Matthew Hawkins
John Dennison
James Catchpool
Robt Kendall
Katherine Dennison
Eliz. Hawkins
Mary Hawkins
Eliz. Thorpe, Junr.
Han. Hawkins
Katherine Upsher
Ann Kendall
Mary Hawkins
Katherine Stonestreet
Katherine Hawkins
Han. Catchpool
Joseph Goodson

this is interesting and needs further investigation;

1. Prescilla Hawkins
Female

I think this may be her - Anne Gage chr. 7 Feb 1688 St. James, Colchester, Essex - K151761 said to be a book when the source is examined, but I haven't found the title, yet.
marriage
1686 Gage Tho Potter An Purleigh Essex
did they have a daughter Ann/Hannah chr. 7 Feb 1688 St. James, Colchester,
Essex? is Anna the Hannah Gage who m. Matthew Hawkins?
