Kenneth,
Sorry, the mistake was mine as I pulled up the incorrect Kenneth from my
list.

Hello... All this is very interesting, but I fear you have the wrong
Kenneth. I AM interested in genealogy and write occasionally for our
family
publication, Hawkes Happenings, however, none of these names are
familiar!
Adam Hawkes, just in case there is a connection, was born in Hingham,
England, and came to the Mass. Colony in 1628...
But if I can be of any help, let me know.
Kenneth Hawkes
