About John Hawkes
John Hawkes
BIRTH 1613 England DEATH Jun 1662 (aged 48–49) Hadley, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA BURIAL Palisado Cemetery, Windsor, Hartford County, Connecticut, USA, PLOT Founders Monument, MEMORIAL ID 36801497
Born by 1613 (based on date of freemanship). Came to Massachusetts Bay in 1634 (based on date of freemanship). First settled in Dorchester; moved to Windsor in 1635, & Hadley by 1660. Buried Hadley 30 June 1662. Married by 1643 Elizabeth _____. She married (2) ROBERT HINSDALE {1637, Dedham} and (3) Thomas Dibble, son of ROBERT DIBBLE {1634, Dorchester}. She died at Windsor on 29 September 1685
Imogene Hawks Lane claimed that John Hawkes came to New England in 1630, based on an entry in the Winthrop Papers, but this is only a guess, and misreads the record. No record of John Hawkes has been found between his freemanship in 1634 and his record of landholding in Windsor in 1640. He would have been at least twenty-one years old in 1634, but did not marry until about late 1642, when he would have been nearly thirty.
These circumstances raise the question whether the John Hawkes of Dorchester in 1634 was the same as the Windsor man. If John Hawkes was one of the early migrants from Dorchester to Windsor in 1635, we would have an explanation for the lack of further records in Massachusetts Bay, and the records for Windsor in the later 1630s are few. We then need only to assume that he married about five years later than average for men of his time. Some doubt remains, but we assume here that all these records pertain to one man named John Hawkes. Source: Anderson's Great Migration Study Project.

Evidence that he came over in 1630 in the Winthrop fleet is that he was "in Winthrop's list" with no further record. I am accepting that he was in the Winthrop group. Also seen as "Hawke" or "Haeks".

from http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/1150/hawkes.html :
John Hawks came to Dorchester, MA 1630 in Winthrop's fleet I am accepting this), and then to Windsor, CT in 1640 as one of the founders. Ecclesiastical orthodoxy led him, along with his wife Elizabeth Browne, to move to Hadley, MA in 1659 again as one of the founders. Adam Hawkes of Saugus was apparently a brother, and the two came to New England together (not sure of this!). John Hawks/Hawkes was born in England and died 30 Jun 1662 in Hadley, MA.
John & Elizabeth's children were all born in Windsor. At a meeting held at Nathaniel Ward's house in Hartford, 18 Apr 1659, John was among those present who signed the agreement to remove from Connecticut to Massachusetts. They moved to Hadley, MA around 1660. John died suddenly and was buried 30 June 1662 in the Hadley Cemetery. Elizabeth married 2) Robert Hinsdale as his second wife about 1668.

Supposedly, John Hawks sailed to America with the Winthrop Fleet of 1630. At that time he would have been but thirteen years of age. At age seventeen Sergeant John Hawks took his freeman's oath at Boston on September 3, 1634. Between then and 1640, he lived variously at Lynn, Dorchester, and Windsor. He moved to Hadley in 1659 as one the earliest settlers there. The community at Dorchester was very restrictive, and the original inhabitants had no political rights. By 1633 the privilege of freemanship had been extended to qualifying male inhabitants. However in 1634 the General Court decreed restrictions on the type of clothing that citizens might wear.Perhaps these and other petty laws influenced John Hawks to leave the area for Windsor, Connecticut, around 1636. It is said, "...(he) was opposed to the commencement or the practice of admitting to the communion on what was called the half-way covenant, to give a right to vote in civil affairs." This statement leads one to assume that John was in agreement with most restrictions, a conservative rather than a liberal member of the community. John Hawks and his family remained at Windsor for almost twenty-four years before relocating to Hadley, Massachusetts.
This decision was supposedly motivated by theological orthodoxy. The decision to move was made on April 18, 1659, at Hartford. At that time John Hawks signed the pact to relocate and pledged 150 pounds for six acres of meadow and a home lot located on the west side of the proposed main street. The men went to the site of Hadley in April, 1659, and cleared land for farms and future homesteads. The families were established at Hadley by October 8, 1660. John Hawks erected a home for his family, but had few years to enjoy its comforts himself. He died at Hadley June 30, 1662
John & Elizabeth's children were all born in Windsor. At a meeting held at Nathaniel Ward's house in Hartford, 18 Apr 1659, John was among those present who signed the agreement to remove from Connecticut to Massachusetts.
Born in England. Came to America in 1630 with other emigrants led by Gov. Winthrope - landed in Boston. Apparently, there were three brothers who travelled from England with their families. One did return to England. Adam - one of the remaining two , settled in Saugus. John - our relative, probably sttled in Dorchester. By 1640 he and his family were in Windsor, Conn - and that tract of land was granted to him. In 1659 or 1660, he and his family (11 children) moved to Hadley, Conn. - they were among the first settlers there.
grave marker reads June 1662 buried in Hadley.
