Hawes
♂William Hawes
Born 1604.
William Hawes (baptized 30 December 1604) was a son of a gentleman’s household at Hillfield in the parish of Solihull, Warwickshire, England. He was the eighth great-grand-uncle of Frederic Roger Curtis (1928–2007), the brother of Edmond Hawes (1612–1693), Roger’s eighth great-grandfather.
Baptism
His parents were Edmond Hawes and Jane Porter. The parish register enters his baptism on 30 December 1604 as “Mr Wilhelmus filius Mri Edmundi Hawes gener[osi] de Hilfeeldes”, that is, Master William, son of Master Edmund Hawes, gentleman, of Hillfield. He was baptised in the year his father bought the lordship of SolihullW by a deed of 16 May 1604, and the clerk gave the infant the courtesy style “Mr”, the style for a son; the Hawes daughters of the same years were styled “Mistress”.
A 1914 family history names his father’s own father as William Hawes, so on that account the boy shared his grandfather’s name. His older sisters were Jane, Lucy and the first Ursula, who died as a baby; Edmond, the future emigrant to New England, was baptized eight years after him.
No marriage, children, burial or death is recorded for him, so his life is known from the baptism entry alone.
Family time line
