I am aware of the incompleteness and imperfections of this account of the Hawkins family, but have caused it to be printed for distribution, with the hope that my work may be the basis of a more complete and satisfactory history by some member of the family who may be afforded better facilities than have been ao corded myself for a satisfactory work. I especially suggest to such persons that the records of Car diff and other places in Wales be examined to trace the Hawkins family. Some of William Hawkins' family went over to Wales.
