HAWES
Edmond Hawes was baptized in Solihull, Warwickshire, England
on 15 October 1613, the son of Edmond Hawes.
He was apprenticed to a “cutler”
(knifemaker) named Edward Warnet, and his records can be found in the London
Company of Cutlers according to the Great Migration sketch of his
life. Edmond Hawes was a passenger on
the James, which left Southampton, England about 5 April 1625. His first residence in Massachusetts was the
town of Duxbury.
He was made a freeman in Duxbury on 3 March 1644/5, and then
removed to the town of Yarmouth by 1643.
He held many offices, which can be found in the Plymouth County Records,
such as deputy, auditor, constable, selectman, and various committees. The Plymouth County Records also record many
land transactions in Duxbury and Yarmouth, and his will dated 5 May 1692 and
proved on 20 July 1683.
The name of his wife is unknown, and he had only one child,
John, born about 1636, who married Desire Gorham, the granddaughter of John
Howland the Mayflower passenger. All
of Edmond Hawes descendants are eligible for membership in the General Society
of Mayflower Descendants.
John Hawes died in 1701, after having his leg amputated . As a young man he had been brought before a
jury on 5 March 1600/1 for accidentally causing an injury in a friend he had
been wrestling. He was found “not guilty”
and released. He grew up to also be a
cutler, and served as a representative to the General Court.
The best sources for information on Edmond Hawes are The
Great Migration, by Richard Charles Anderson, Volume II, pages 247 - 250. Another good source of information is the book
Edmond Hawes of Yarmouth, Massachusetts, by James William Hawes,
1914. The Howland books published by the
Mayflower Society’s Five Generation Project would also have the descendants of
John Hawes and Desire Gorham.
