About Mary Hawes
1. Mary Pierpont was born ABT 1623 in Ireland and died after 1666 in Roxbury, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of 2. James Pierpont and 3. Margaret.
Likely the "Mary Pierrepont" who was the third wife and surviving widow of Robert Hawes of Roxbury (d 1666). In his 1663 will he named "Mary, my wife," children, Thomas, John and Mary, "my kind brother John Pierpont" to be executor along with "loving friend" Dennison (see attached document).
"My young son Thomas" was named in the 1645 will of Frances Hawes, Robert Hawes previous wife, along with Alis, "my husband's daughter."
The children of Mary and Robert Hawes must have been born before 1663:
- John Hawes son of Robert was baptized in Roxbury, 12: 1 mo. 1664-5 C.R.1.
- Mary Hawes daughter of Robert was also baptized in Roxbury, 12: 1 mo. 1664-5 C.R. 1.

"Pierrepont Genealogies From Norman Times To 1913". 2017. Google Books. Accessed April 30 2017. page 130 "The Lost Dukedom, or the story of the Pierrepont Claim." By James Kingsley Blake, LL.B. [No. 224 in the Record of Descent contained in Chapter 111.] (Read March 26, 1906, before the New Haven Colony Historical Society and printed in Vol. VII of its Transactions at page 258. Reprinted here by permission of Henry T. Blake, Esq., of New Haven.)
"I shall not attempt in this paper to scramble up the lofty tree from Sir Robert, past all the Pierreponts, good, bad and indifferent, to the last Duke of Kingston; for Lodge's Peerage will give you all their names, titles and achievements at full length; but shall (much to your relief, I have no doubt) only speak of those whose history is involved in my story of the Pierrepont Claim.
Sir George Pierrepont, who received a title from Edward VI for assisting at his coronation in 1547, had five children, three sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Sir Henry, was the ancestor of the English line, from which the later Dukes of Kingston sprang. The second son, Gervais, died without issue; and the third son, William, is the claimed ancestor of the American branch. Of the daughters suffice it to say that they both married and that one of them was the mother of Francis Beaumont, the famous dramatist of the golden age of good Queen Bess.
As I have already said, the estate of Holme Pierrepont lies in the beautiful County of Nottingham, about three miles from Nottingham town, and not far away from the village of Scrooby, so closely linked with Massachusetts through Elder Brewster, William Bradford and the Pilgrims. The East Anglian counties were the center of the Puritan movement, and it was probably the rock of Puritanism and Independency that divided the Pierrepont stream into two separate courses, one of which flowed peacefully on in the old country, while the other painfully made its way amid the forests of the new.
Sir Robert, the eldest brother, as became the holder of the title, joined the Stuart and became a Lieutenant-General of his forces. He was successively created Baron Pierrepont, Viscount Newark and Earl of Kingston, and fell at last, fighting for the king, at Gainsborough, July 3, 1643.
Which side his younger brother William espoused, there is no record; but we know that he died in England in 1648, leaving among other children, mentioned in his will, a son James, who was undoubtedly a Puritan. This James Pierrepont lived in Derbyshire, according to a family tradition, and as one of the letters written in 1774 says, carried on trade between England and Ireland; but in the "troubulous times," meaning the time of the Parliamentary uprising, "he became bankrupt," and afterwards emigrated with his son Robert to America, to live with his eldest son, John, who had already settled there. .....
I have also said that we find no record of any correspondence between the two branches of the family which held opposite political and religious views; but there are letters showing that John of Roxbury and Dorchester still kept in touch with his Puritan relatives in old England, after he had crossed the Atlantic and settled in the new world, for among our collection we find a letter from one Thomas Hill of London, dated April 5, 1664, addressed to "Mr. John Pierpointe dwelling at Roxbury in New England" telling him the sad news of the death of his mother, Margaret, in London. Among other things he says:"She did die free from any debt and had some small matter of money to spare, rather than to want, she formerly did intend to have all that was worth sending, sent to you and some Tokens for the rest with you, but she hearing you had no need and being she could not hear from you, thought you to be dead. And another thing happening did cause her to alter her will and mind which was this, your sister Eaton did come to London living six or seven score miles off and by reason her Husband cannot conform to the Bishops is put out of his living, and having many children and littles helpes to maintain them, that is but low with them and she is a very honest godly woman and coming so far to see your mother, caused your mother to give her most of what she had a_nd something she gave to one of your sister Eaton's Daughters that liveth in London."
The "sister Eaton" mentioned in this letter was the wife of William Eaton of Bridport, Dorset County, a dissenter, as Thomas Hill says; and we later find in our collection another letter from their son, John Eaton, written from Bridport, October 16th, 1666, and sealed with the Pierrepont arms. It is addressed to "My loving Uncle, Mr. John Pier-point at Rockbury in New England" and tells how "having been lately at the Universitie at Oxford I am from thence not long since returned to take a view of my friends." and how the writer thought he would pen a few lines to say how "glad should wee all be, if at any time such a good action should be performed by you (his uncle) as that you would come into old England and that such a strange spectacle as you should possess our eyes." Having paid his uncle this rather dubious compliment (perhaps he pictured the old gentleman in war paint and feathers), he hastens to add that since "we are at such a great distance in this our terrestrial globe, we hope to meet in the Celestial," with which comforting reflection he winds up by sending his love to his Aunt Mary and some other kindred wch. I have there wch. I neither know or scarce ever saw."
This communication from John Eaton, the undergraduate nephew of John Pierpont of Roxbury, and the letter from Thomas Hill just quoted, are the only two links we have that connect the American Pierreponts with their English cousins.2 After this, the correspondence either ceased, or the letters were unfortunately lost, or destroyed, by their recipients.

According to Charles Pope's Pioneers of MA (1900) p.221, the 1666 will of Robert Hawes refers to a "bro(ther)"
John Pierpont and a "son" Humphrey Barrett. The 1645 will of
Robert's wife Frances Hawes (nee Hiler ??; previously married to an Edwards ??) also names a Sarah Bartlett as a helpful "maid." I haven't yet been able to make much sense of this. Any help?
Similarly, while the Pierpont brothers John and Robert (and probably their father James) appear in the Ipswich/Roxbury area in the mid 1640s, and John is married at some point (possibly already in England) to Thankful Stow(e) who arrived with her father and mother, John and Elizabeth Biggs in 1634 (according to Pope), I have found no record of when or on what ship the Pierponts arrived. I suspect they may have come with the Stow(e)s in 1634, but Pope does not say on what ship, nor does Coldham's book on British shipping lists provide any assistance. The mother of John Stow(e)'s wife (Rachel Biggs) came on the ship "Elizabeth" in April 1635 (according to Pope), migrating from Kent (ENG).
