Notes - Rebecca Hawkins is tentatively identified as the first wife of Henry Howard. The evidence supporting this relationship is highly circumstantial and additional research is warranted. Henry H lived Howard lived in the same area as Pinkethman Hawkins and Thomas Hawkins, the brothers of his presumed wife Rebecca Hawkins. Henry Howard also engaged in business transactions with Pinkethman Hawkins, in Lunenburg Co., Virginia, which often indicates a familial relationship. Pinkethman Hawkins married Henry' sister, Mary Howard. It would not be unusual for Henry to also marry a sister of Pinkethman. Finally, Henry's daughter Sarah named a daughter Rebecca, perhaps after her mother.
There is sufficient evidence to conclude that Rebecca Hawkins, presumed wife of Henry Howard, is the daughter of Matthew Hawkins and his wife Sarah. Matthew Hawkins and his wife Sarah lived in York County had five children whose births are recorded in the Charles Parish Register. The names of the children as recorded in the register are Thomas, Martha, Pinkeman (Pinkethman), William and Rebecca.
After Matthew Hawkins died in 1732, his wife Sarah remarried William Howard, the father of Henry Howard. Also, Rebecca's brother Pinkethman sold property to Rebecca's husband Henry Howard on 2 Jun 1760. Lunenburg County, Virginia Deed Book 7, p. 128. On 4 May 1762, this same Pinkethman was named as executor of his brother Thomas Hawkin's will. Lunenburg County, Virginia Deed Book 7, p. 228.
