Ann Hawes

HAWES FAMILY OF CAROLINE CO., VA by Elizabeth Hawes Ryland

1. SAMUEL(1) HAWES, b.____ d____ m. (c) 1699, (traditionally) Ann* Spencer. Practically nothing is known of this earliest Virginia ancestor of the name. So far, I have been unable to find any documentary record in regard to him. The supposition that his wife was a daughter of Col. Nicholas Spencer of the Virginia Council cannot be credited. Col. Spencer's will, dated in Nomini, Westmoreland Co., Va., April 25, 1688, and proved January 15, 1699, mentions wife, Mrs. Frances Spencer; sons, William, Mottram, Nicholas, John, and Francis Spencer, but no daughter.
