Hannah Hawkins
by Susan Brooke
Jan 2023
Hannah was named in her mother's will, so we know her name was Hannah
Hawkins. (1) An Ellis Barron married a Hannah Hawkins, in Watertown
on 14 Oct 1653 and there is only one record of that marriage. However, there were two men named Ellis Barron who were
marrying a Hannah Hawkins at about the same time. Ellis Barron, the elder,
was was marrying as his second wife, a Hannah Hawkins, widow of Timothy Hawkins.
His son, Ellis Barron, was marrying a daughter of his father's second wife.
It is not known for sure which marriage took place on 14 Oct 1653. But
since Susanna Barron, daughter of the elder Elis Barron, married Stephen Randall
on the same day, it seems that there was a triple marriage of Ellis Barron Sr to
his 2nd wife, his son Ellis Barron Jr to a daughter of that 2nd wife, and his
daughter Susannah Barron to Stephen Randall. (2)
Hannah Hawkins was born in Watertown on 10
4th month 1634. (3) She and her husband, Ellis Barron, Jr., had eight children.
She died 3 Jan 1674 in Groton, Middlesex, MA. (4)

(1) Will of Anna Hammond Barron
from
The Great Migration
In her will, dated 18 August 1683 and
proved 6 October 1685, "Hanna Barron of Watertowne ... widow, being weak in
body," bequeathed to "my son Timothy Hawkins my dwelling house and all the lands
upland and meadow adjacent ... together with all my outlands and meadow the
whole and singular lands and buildings with all appurtenances"; to "my daughter
Hanna Barron's children to each of them £3 to be paid as followeth, to my
grandchild Eliz [i.e., Ellis] Barron to be paid £3 in cattle at my decease, to
my grandchild Timothy Barron to be paid £3 at twenty-one years of age in cattle
in both horses excepted, to my grandchildren Hanna, Elizabeth, Sary, Grace,
Mehettabel Barron £3 apiece after my decease ... to be paid in brass, pewter,
bedding, household goods such as I shall leave"; to "Timothy Hawkins's daughter
Mary Hawkins my mohair coat"; to "my five granddaughters first named" my
clothing equally divided; to "my two grandchildren Benjamin and Benoni Garfield
£20 to be paid as followeth £5 in the hand of Elizabeth Gross of Boston to be
improved for them till they attain the age of twenty-one years and at that age
to be paid with the income of it and £10 more to be paid to them at twenty-one
years of age by my son Timothy Hawkins" paid in cattle and corn, and if one of
the boys dies, the other receives £20, if both die then the £20 be equally
divided; to "the former grandchildren by my daughter Hannah Barron"; "my two
son-in-laws Eliz Barron and Benjamin Garfield have had their wives' portions
long since duly paid"; "my son Timothy Hawkins sole executor"; "to my negro
Shippio his time, chest and clothing to perform the advice of my late husband
Eliz [i.e., Ellis] Barron" [MPR 6:244, Case #1292].
The inventory of the estate of
"Hanah Barron widow in Watertown" was taken 10 September 1685 and was untotalled,
but included £78 in real estate: "the house, barn, orchard and by estimation
sixteen acres of land adjoining," £70; "a farm," £4; "two acres in lieu of
Township," £3; and "a parcel of meadow in the great meadow,"
(2) marriage of Ellis Barron to Hannah Hawkins and marriage of Susannah Barron to Stephen Randall
There was only one record of an Ellis Barron marrying an Hannah Hawkins, but the most likely scenario is that there were two such marriages on that same day since a daughter of Ellis Barron was also marrying on the same day.
