Matthew Hawkins b. abt 1686 of Colchester
« on: Monday 19 July 04 06:11 BST (UK) »
Matthew Hawkins first appears in the Quaker records of Colchester, marrying another Quaker, Hannah Gage on 8 May 1708. on their marriage record is a list of relatives;

Hannah Gage
Priscilla Hawkins
John Hawkins
Wm Hawkins
Christopher Hawkins
Mary Hawkins
Priscilla Hawkins Junr
Sarah Gage
Wm Cockerill
Sarah Cockerill
Joseph Pitchford
Matthew Pitchford
Willm Hally
Sarah Hally
John Lilly
Margaret Lilly

Christopher Hawkins was b. 28 Dec 1636 in Chelmsford, Essex, England, the son of John Hawkins
he m. 5 Nov 1674 in Great Coggeshall, Essex, England to Mary Guyon.

who were Matthew and Hannah's parents?

as a guess, I assume the Hannah Gage at the top of the list is the mother of the bride. it is difficult to be certain if Matthew's parents are any of the Hawkins listed, but it is possible that Christopher is his grandfather. these are just guesses, hypothesis with little to go on.

Matthew and Hannah are my 6x great grandparents
