General Notes: Husband - Robert Hawkins

---

He was born in Lancashire County, England; he came to America in 1715, and in 1716 bought a tract of land of 100 acres of John Miles, of Baltimore county, Maryland, called “Margarets Mount,” situated about eight miles from Havre de Grace, Maryland, and near the waters of Deer creek, in what was then Baltimore (later Harford) County, Maryland. In 1730 he bought another body of about 400 acres adjoining the first, of a man named Wells.

He was strongly opposed to England's unjust and arbitrary control of the American Colonies, and prior to the Revolution ardently advocated a separation from the mother country. The writer has authen­tic information that during the war he gave over £2,000 sterling to the support of the Amer­ican armies, and sent his three sons into the service to battle for the cause of freedom, his second son, Robert, Jr., dying in Washington's memorable camp at Valley Forge; the other sons, Thomas and Richard, remained in service until the close of the war.
