About Edmund Hawes, Jr.

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/37061025

Edmund's father is Edmund Hawes, I The WRONG Edward is attributed to him as his son. The other Edmund the dates do not match up to all Mayflower books and Immigration, deeds etc. http://www.southern-style.com/Hawes.htm

This Edmund is well documented via the Mayflower Society and research. Wife UNKNOWN. Other Edward's correct with is Eleanor (Lumbard) married in 1648 with the appropriate children.

In the book, "New England, The Great Migration and the Great Migration Begins, Volume 3 G-H". It mentions the will of Edmund and also mentions his father Edmund and his son, Capt. John Hawes and daughter in law Desire Gorham.

Desire Gorham (Howland) was Desire Howland and John Howland's granddaughter. Both of her grandparents were passengers on the Mayflower.

COMMENTS in this book stated that he was a Plymouth progenitor, Oct 2, 1637 when he purchased land after having immigrated to America in 1635.

Stonemason, presumably a Puritan--from a family of tavern keepers.

Edward is recorded to have arrived in Dedham, Massachusetts, presumably from England (born in some small town north of London), on June 3, 1635 (part of the Great Migration, no doubt). Perhaps he bought the indenture of Eliony Lumber (Lombard?), whom he married in 1648.

Family History Library Catalog :

Edmond Hawes/Hawe (1608-1693) immigrated to Duxbury, Mass. from South- hampton, England in 1635. There is no mention of his wife, but he had one son, John, who married Desire, daughter of Capt. John Gorman. His father, Edmond, married Jane Porter ca. 1600 and was living in 1653. His grandfather, William, married Ursula Colles, and died in 1611-12. Their genealogy extended from Thomas, Thomas, Thomas, Thomas and Thomas as early as 1465.


"He was the third and youngest surviving son of Edmond Hawes... He had on Feb. 14, 1626-7, bound himself to Edmond Warnett, citizen and cutler of London, for the term of eight years from Feb. 2 preceding. He completed his apprenticeship, and was sworn free cutler Dec. 9, 1634. His grandfather, Richard Porter, had iron works and the family was thus probably brought into relations with the Cutler's Company. He had been the beneficiary of his relative, Francis Hawes, and after selling these estates and being through with his apprenticeship decided to emigrate to America. 'He must have been among the well-to-do of the early settlers.' He came on the ship James of London, 300 tons, leaving Southampton about April 5, 1635 and arriving at Boston June 3. ... Between that time and Oct. 2, 1637, when he was granted land in Duxbury, we do not know where he was or what he was doing. From then on he is mentioned in the records a number of times in various land transactions. He was sworn as constable of Duxbury June 7, 1642, and was surveyor of highways there in the same year. By 1644 he moved to Yarmouth and several times over the years was appointed receiver of excise for Yarmouth. He also represented Yarmouth in various trade and land affairs and was often one of the auditors of the Colonial Treasurer's accounts. He was constable in 1659 and was appointed a member of Yarmouth's Council of War by the Council of War for Plymouth Colony both in 1667 and 1675-6, the latter time as its head. That same year he was one of the rate makers for Yarmouth. His name occurs in a great many wills as witness, overseer, executor, trustee, etc. In short, he was a very active civic leader. ... He was town clerk and treasurer from 1667 till his death, 27 years, succeeding Anthony Thacher, the first incumbent, upon the latter's death." (Bonnie Hubbard)

Baptised in Solihull, Warwickshire, 15 October 1612, son of Edmond Hawes. Cutler from London who came to Plymouth Colony in 1635 on the "James" of Southampton.

First settled in Duxbury; moved to Yarmouth in 1643. Died in Yarmouth MA 9 June 1693, and buried the following day. Married by about 1636 _____ _____.

Pope states that this immigrant was of "Plymouth, proprietor 2 Oct. 1637." The date is that of a grant of land "lying cross Greens Harbor Path." This piece of land lay on the north side of Duxbury, toward the area that would later become Marshfield. There is no evidence that Edmond Hawes resided in Plymouth, and, although he owned land in Marshfield, there is no evidence that he ever resided there either.


  • *The wife of Edmund Hawes is NOT KNOWN. At least we know she's NOT the daughter of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower.

The following is an extract from Swift's Old Yarmouth pp 54 and 55 as quoted in Edmond Hawes of Yarmouth, Massachusetts an Emigrant to America pp. 131-133:

Edmond Hawes came as a passenger in the ship James, of London, which sailed from Southampton, England, about the sixth of April, 1635. He was described as a cutler, doubtless to avoid being detained by the authorities, as other emigrants were for similar reasons. He was also set down as late of London. Mr. Hawes resided for some years at Duxbury before he came to this town (Yarmouth). in 1645 he was an inhabitant of Yarmouth and a Deputy to the Court. He was appointed in 1672 chairman of the Land Committee, and for many years was one of the board of selectmen and Assessors. He held the position of Town Clerk, succeeding Anthony Thacher, at the time of his death. His lands were situated between the lands of teh Hallets and the Thatchers, at the eastern part of what is now called Hallet Street, and the highway running to the easterly side of Dennis Pond was long known as "Hawes Lane". He survived nearly all the first settlers in Yarmouth. His death is recorded with great formality in the old records: '"Mr. Edmund Hawes died upon the 9th day of June and was buried the tenth day of June one thousand six hundred and ninety three, 1693". His age at the time of his death is not given, but he must have been about eighty years old. He was a man of education and good parts, and was a leading character of the town and colony. He had one son, John, who was also a man of influence and high character, and from whom the families in Chatham and other places in the county descended. None of his male descendants of the name are now (1884) resident in Yarmouth.
