The first names of this family that we have met with are those of John Hawkins and Joseph Hawkins,[1] who (see the list of “Forty-Nine Officers” in our Irish Landed Gentry when Cromwell came to Ireland), served Charles I., or Charles II., in the Wars of Ireland before the 5th day of June, 1649. We are, however, at present able to trace only the following generations of the Loughrea (co. Galway) branch of the family:

1. John Hawkins had:

2. Lawrence, who m. a dau. of Dominick Joyce, Esq., and had:

3. S. N. Hawkins, of New Richmond in Wisconsin, United States, America, living in 1883.
