---"The History of Hadley, Massachusetts"
BIOGRAPHY FROM THE HAWKES FAMILY GENEALOGY
John Hawks came to Dorchester, MA, 1630 in Winthrop's fleet and thenmoved to Windsor, CT, in 1640 as one of the founders. Ecclesiasticalorthodoxy led him, along with his wife Elizabeth Browne, to move toHadley, MA, in 1659 again as one of the founders. Adam Hawkes of Sauguswas apparently a brother and the two came to New England together. JohnHawks/Hawkes was born in England and died 30 Jun 1662 in Hadley, MA.
John's wife, Elizabeth Browne, was a niece of Nathaniel Ward, an originalsettler of Hartford, CT. Nathaniel Ward was the son of Edward Ward ofLittle Wrathing, Suffolk Co., England. On 9 Jan 1620, Edward made hiswill, proved at Ipswich 7 Mar 1620. He provided for his wife Judith andhis children Nathaniel, Edward, Lydia, Mary, Rebecca and Susan.
Susan Browne, widow of Robert Browne of Ipswich, made her will 22 Mar1626, proved 24 April 1627. She remembered her mother Judith and both ofher sisters, Rebecca Ward and Mary Cutting, as well as "Elizabeth Browne,daughter of my borther-in-aw William Browne." As Lydia Ward was thefourth sister, it was she who married William Browne and their daughterElizabeth was the niece of Nathaniel Ward (of Hartford). Elizabeth Brownemarried John Hawks in about 1642.
John & Elizabeth's children were all born in Windsor. At a meeting heldat Nathaniel Ward's house in Hartford, 18 Apr 1659, John was among thosepresent who signed the agreement to remove from Connecticut toMassachusetts. They moved to Hadley, MA, around 1660. John died suddenlyand was buried 30 June 1662 in the Hadley Cemetery. Elizabeth marriedRobert Hinsdale as his second wife about 1668.
The marriage was an unhappy one and they soon parted, and she returned toher home in Hadley. At a court held 30 Mar 1674 they were "presented forliving assunder contrary to law," also charged "with lacivious and wantoncarrage." On examination Elizabeth refused to answer, and it appears thatshe was cleared of any wrongdoing. Robert Hinsdale said he "did it asbeing her head and having the rule of her in the pointe and that he didit for her correction of her disorder towards him." Although he was arespected man in the community, the court held he had "broken the perfectrule of divine law and the law of the Colony in the intent if not in theletter in the first livinig assunder," and ordered him "whipped tenstripes on the naked body;" and imposed a fine for which his sons becameresponsible and which the court refused to remit after his tragic death.They moved to Pocumtuck (Deerfield), MA, where descendents of both werealready living. Robert was killed, along with three of his sons, withCaptain Thomas Lathrop, on 18 September 1675 in the ambush at BloodyBrook, MA.
Elizabeth married Thomas Dibble of Windsor, CT, on 25 June 1683 and shedied in Windsor on 20 Sept 1689.---www.geocities.com/Reartlnd/Acres/1150/hawkes.html
