About Adam Hawkes
Hawks can be spelled Hawkes.
From cousin Nancy B. Edmands Allen:
"Prankers Pond (Lily Pond), situated almost in the center of town [Saugus, MA] is bounded by Central Street and on the west by Broadway, Route 1. The pond has had a long history, dating back to the early 1640s. It was a man-made pond, fed by the Saugus River, whose headwaters start at the northerly end of Lake Quanopowett. Coinciding with the founding of the Saugus Iron Works in 1646, a dam was erected as a result of their successful activity, and the pond was created by the damming of the river. This was the beginning of a constant series of legal involvements, sources of economic stability for the town, business successes and failures, disappointments, frustrations, and recreational enjoyment.
"The first legal litigation occurred in 1652, when the height of the dam was increased, thus enlarging the pond, creating a buildup of water that flooded the lands of Adams Hawkes in North Saugus and thus the pond's controversial history began.
"With the closing of the iron works and possibly as a result of the Hawkes' litigation in 1671, the dam was cut away and the great pond was emptied of its waters. It remained that way for 100 years.
"In 1770, Ebenezer Hawkes, a descendant of Adam Hawkes, built a rude dam at the present site to power a grist and saw mill. Once again the pattern was repeated, for he now became the defendant in the lawsuits instituted by the land owners whose properties were being flooded [see http://www.milkcanpapers.com/edmands6.html ]."
