Biography
1684 Birth and Parents
Robert Hawkins is no known relation to other Hawkins families in Baltimore County, Maryland. [1]
Birth Year Estimate
- NOTE: the birth year is estimated ...IF he is old enough to pay TAXES in 1702 then he must have been born between 1684, age 18, and to have been married in 1709 he could have been 16 years of age, 1693. Young but there are ENTRIES of couples that young.
1702 Tax List
- Robert Hawkins is first found in Baltimore County, Maryland on the Tax List of 1702.
1709 Marriage to Anne Preble
Robert Hawkins married Ann Preble on 15 Nov 1709;[1]
Ann was born 8 nov 1689, dau of Thomas and Mary Preble.[1]
Mary, widow of Thomas Preble, m. 2nd Arhibaqld Buchanan; in her will dated 1y Jan 1732 shenamed her dau. Ann Hawkins and granddau Elizabeth hawkins; Thos Cullen of Balto Co In his will of 4 Oct 1731 named hisgodchildren John, Mary and Elizabeth hawkins, the children of Robert and Anne.[1]
Robert married Anne Preble on November 15, 1709 in St. George's Parish, Baltimore Co,
- St. George's Parish Register of Births, Marriages & Deaths, 1681 - 1799
- "Robert Hawkins & Ann Treble was married November the fifteenth 1709.
- NEXT ENTRY
- Thomas Hawkins the son of Robt. & Anne Hawkins his wife was born
- November the twenty fifth 1712."
- (The Registrar misspelled Ann's name, TREBLE)[2]
She was the daughter of Thomas Preble and Mary Bucknall. Mary was the daughter of Thomas BUCKNALL. [3]
- Anne Preble was born Nov. 8, 1689 in the Swan Creek area, St. George Parish, MD. Her mother, Mary Bucknall Preble, remarried after Thomas' death to Archibald Buchanan. Mary Buchanan's 1732 will named her daughter Anne Hawkins and grandaughter Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Hawkins, so Anne died sometime after her mother's death in 1731 and before 1760, since Robert had married another woman by that time. Anne was the mother of all of Robert's children (at least eight, including two sets of twins).
1715 Margarett's Mount
In 1715 Robert bought from John Miles (also Mills), 210 acres of Miles' 300 acre tract named Margarett's Mount in the Susquehanna Hundred of Baltimore County, MD "about 8 miles from Havre de Grace, and near the headwaters of Deer Creek, in what is now Harford County". In 1730 he bought 66 acres called "Farmer's Farm" part of "Margarett's Mount" from Richard Wells. [From the tract Card File in the Harford County Archives, Annapolis, MD] This area has been confused in at least one county history, with the Bald Friar Ferry area of New Jersey, which is across the Susquehanna River from there.
ln 1750 Robert Hawkins owned 160 a Margaret's Mont[1]
Second Marriage to Sarah
Robert m.(2) Sarah _____, prob in Harford Co, MD between 1732 and 1760. From Newspaper Gleanings 1727-1795 by Robert Barnes, p.28, Annapolis MD Gazette of 18 March 1760: "Robert Hawkins Sr will not pay the debts of his wife Sarah, who has eloped." Evidently she returned and was forgiven, because she was the executrix of his estate in 1761. Sarah remarried to John JONES on 13 Jan. 1762.

Research Notes
Disputed Origins
A previous version of this profile claimed that this Robert Hawkins was born in 1684 in Baltimore County, Maryland, the son of Elizabeth Farmer and Richard Hawkins who himself was born on 22 Mar 1638/1639 in Chippenham England.[8]
- Richard and Elizabeth did have a son Robert who was baptised on 3 Sep 1691 in Streatley, Bedfordshire, England.[9] But this son Robert Hawkins was buried at Streatley on 8 Mar 1691/2, ruling him out as the Maryland man. And someone born 1691 is unlikely to have been on a tax list in 1702. Therefore these parents have been detached.
