Mary Pease (Cooper) Hawkins

The "Pease" family are thought to be of Huguenot lineage, and have come to American after several generations in England, where some of them remained. Their original name is thought to be "Pise" or "Pisa" and they were originally Italian, making their way from SW France in the late 16th century.

The English Pease family were a mostly Quaker family, very active in England in the 18-20th centuries as abolitionists, and in other social movements.
