Do we know anything about this John Hawkins (died young) besides attempts to make him the same as John Hawkins, Esq., of Oxford and John Hawkins of MD, "Mariner" ?
For the children of John Hawkins & Hester, Wikitree has:
Hester and John were blessed with ten children. They were:
Judith Hawkins 1639–1639;
Hester Hawkins 1640–1644;
Richard Hawkins 1641–174,
John Hawkins 1643–1670;
William Hawkins 1644–1689;
and Hester Hawkins 1645;
The children were all baptized at Slapton as the children of John Hawkins, Esq., and Mrs. Hester his wife.
Other children were
Robert Hawkins 1646;
Mary Hawkins 1647–1728;
Thomas Hawkins 1649–1695;
and Nicholas Hawkins 1650–1754.
The John b 1643 never married, his sister Hester was his heir.
Well, Erica, this is from a half hour of snooping. This would need more sorting out.
Henry Hawkins (1643-1699) appears to have been born in England to Henry Hawkins (1622-1698) and Alice Crouch (1625-1687). Alice later married Edward Lloyd, who names Henry Jr in his will as someone he transported in 1659, along with his son Philemon, who Henry Jr called his brother. Grandparents could be Henry Hawkins and Mary Griffin.
He appears to have married Elllenor Wamsley in 1662 in London, who died in 1681, and then in 1683 married a widow, Elizabeth Holland, named in his will. A Henry Hawkins came from England to Charles County in 1659, 1665, and 1681. Henry Jr could be all three of these entries.
From T Buhrke:
This family (Hawkins) is very confusing because Henry's mother Alice Crouch [marries] Edward Lloyd after the death of Henry's father Henry Hawkins Sr. Alice Crouch gives birth to Philemon Lloyd after Henry. (which is why Henry initially puts Philemon & his children in his will as his brother until he has children of his own and changes his will) There is no record of Alice having another child with Lloyd, though it appears there is a Edward Hawkins who is Henry's brother but died young. There is a record that Lloyd Edward paid for the immigration of Edward Hawkins and Henry Hawkins to Maryland. I am assuming that it is these brother's but it might have been Henry Sr. and a brother Edward. Several other family trees put Henry's birth in Talbot, Maryland but I have yet to find evidence.
Alice must have died soon after Philemon's birth because Edward Lloyd gets married a third time and evidently has a daughter. Per this record, the daughter marry's Henry Hawkins:
"Deed recorded in the Land Records of Talbot County dated July 21, 1666, Edward Lloyd, of “Wye House,” conveyed “Winton” to his son-in-law, Henry Hawkins. In 1669 Henry Hawkins sold “Winton” to Nathaniel Evit for 6000 pounds of tobacco." from Maryland's Colonial Eastern Shore.
This Female Lloyd must have given birth to Mary Hawkins. This is surmised because Henry's second marriage is to Elizabeth Holland after Mary's birth.
As per above, two wills found: Or they could be the wills of two different people. The English were well known to hold off writing a will until on their death beds.

The whole Lloyd-Bennett-Hawkins tangle is a much more complicated story and deserving of its own thread.
Check this out: Col. Philemon Lloyd (Note: this also draws in the Neale family, at least the Maryland branch of it.)
Somewhere along the way a Thomas Waters shows up and becomes associated with Col. Philemon Lloyd to such an extent that "Philemon" becomes a common name in his family. He is NOT related to the Anne Arundel Waters planter families, which makes it a head-scratcher where he came from. He may have married the daughter of one of Col. Looyd's collateral relatives.
Apparently I have an oar on the Henry Hawkins boat, because Martha Musgrove is my cousin’s wife. She was named in her grandmother Elizabeth’s will.
Mike Marshall’s database distinguishes betweeen Henry Hawkins of Talbot County (son of Henry & Alice Crouch)
https://www.colonial-settlers-md-va.us/getperson.php?personID=I0515...
And Henry of Charles County (parents unknown)
https://www.colonial-settlers-md-va.us/getperson.php?personID=I0016...
What I'd like to see is some evidence connecting Henry Hawkins of Talbot County with Henry Hawkins of Charles County. They're on opposite sides of the Chesapeake Bay (Talbot County is Eastern Shore).
Apparently the 1662 will *was probated*, which means exit Henry Hawkins Jr before 15 Aug 1673.
It is not a safe assumption that "son-in-law" literally means what it says - in the 17th century (and earlier, and sometimes later) it was also used to mean "stepson", which Henry Hawkins Jr. certainly was.
This one is odd, because Francis Wynne’s daughter Elizabeth is supposedly the one who married a Lewis, and there’s no Elizabeth in Henry’s will

From [http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~markfreeman/genealogy/hawkins.html “John Hawkins of Tavistock, Devonshire, and descendants including Sir John Hawkins”]
>”One of the children of John Hawkins and Hester Richards is thought to have been the grandfather of Philemon Hawkins b 1690 England. The line of descent cannot be determined. John Hawkins and Mary Dewe, long claimed to be a missing link, are now considered unlikely ancestors for the Virginia Hawkins families.”
That affects
William Hawkins of Orange County, Virginia
John Hawkins, of King William County
Nicholas Hawkins, of Spotsylania
Well unfortunately they start out with the delusion that John Hawkins, son of Captain John and Hester, was the same person as John Hawkins m. Mary Dewe - which he was NOT. (They add insult to injury with the blatant lie that John was the only male to have offspring - he had none, Thomas and Nicholas had a daughter each.)
http://welbank.net/hawkins/pah/mwstree.gif - this chart was drawn up by the author of "Plymouth Armada Heroes, drawing on all the primary sources she could find, and it's far more accurate than anything that has come down the pike since. Its biggest drawback is that it pays scant attention to the "Uncle William" line (descent from William Hawkins, older brother of Admiral Sir John).
Has anybody attempted to sort out this tangled mess through DNA testing? My only Hawkins cousin that I was in contact with (he lives in New Market, VA, still) suggested he didn't know when and where our Joseph Hawkins was born. He accepted Sarah Marlin as his wife, initially, in his research but then jumped onto the whole Widow Sarah MacDaniel, born Jones wagon, simply because he found an actually marriage record of this marriage. Just accepting that a John and Mary Long Hawkins were Joseph's parents and going through the collateral lines of descent of siblings, reaps several Joseph Hawkins. I'm so lost in the weeds with this line, it hurts.
The ONLY saving grace I have, is a totally unexpected DNA match to the living Marlin family. Since I descend through Joseph Hawkins eldest daughter, Sarah, I now know who her mother was. The controversy is over for me. But, it still leaves one wondering when and where Joseph Hawkins was born and just who were his parents? John and Mary already had a surviving son named Joseph. Hard to accept they'd name yet another son Joseph. I have thrown that one out with the bath water.
Someone over at the Hawkins site suggested a branch of the family migrated to Ireland. I do wonder which branch it was, and if that's mine?
My first tangle with a Hawkins is 3rd great grandmother Nancy Hankins or Hawkins in Kentucky; the handwriting on her marriage record can be read as either.
Well, she was a Hankins, not a Hawkins. And it looks like her family migrated from New Jersey.
Lesson: common English language surnames need careful geographic notes.
Mary Hawkins Dates don’t work with the rest of her family of origin.
Yes, there certainly are Hawkins DNA projects. I took a quick look yesterday

http://hawkinsdna.blogspot.com/?m=1
Wow, Hankins. As far as I know that isn't one of the errors in my line. The Seviers are pretty well convinced John married a Hawkins. I merely asked about the DNA, as it has helped me resolve the controversy as to which Sarah my Joseph Hawkins married. You see, a very kind person over at WikiTree contacted me and let me know there was a FB page for the Marlin family, inviting me to come on over. I had a kit from another site, and shared my kit number. Before I could run my number against any of the others over there, the owner of the page did so. I match three living Marlin family members! Sarah Marlin is my seventh great-grandmother. I knew it in my heart, first, but now it is confirmed. Why else would I have such a DNA match? The only Marlins on my tree are Sarah and her father, Richard.
As for the Hawkins debacle, they have a website, too. Best they could tell me is there was a branch of the family that migrated to Ireland. Face/palm. So helpful, not.
Thanks for the links I shall check them out!
Of interest to me as my anc were Hawkins of London. In searching found this:

What's going on here is another Bad-Merge situation based on the usual MIS-assumption that ALL Hawkinses are related to the Admirals.
They are NOT.
We have dealt with Richard Hawkins m. Grece Cutland before. He is NOT a descendant of Admiral Richard Hawkins, period end of sentence.
FamilySearch family trees are NOT any more reliable than anyone else's. They are *every bit* as prone to error and wishful thinking and Wild Mass Guessing.
About Grace Cultand:
Married to *A* Richard Hawkins, but NOT the son of Admiral Sir Richard Hawkins.
She may have been from Wiltshire, as one of the children ascribed to her was baptized in Warminster, Wiltshire, on March 22, 1639. (Please note, this is AFTER Richard Hawkins Jr. of Pryvitt and Elizabeth (Drake?) started having children baptized at Slapton!)
"Select Marriages 1538-1973" turns out to be less than 100% reliable. According to werelate: org: This is an index of information transcribed from digital copies of original records housed in repositories throughout England. The index is stored in an electronic database which may be searched on the free FamilySearch site. The original sources may include church records, civil registrations, AND FAMILY RECORDS. (Emphasis added!)
Regarding the query upthread about DNA testing: there's a Hawkins project at Familytreedna.com As of last year they were up to 30 distinct Y-DNA groups and scads of Ungrouped - not a one of them reliably connectable to the Admirals. (They *had* hopes for group 6, based on a claim of descent from John Hawkins m. Mary Dewe, but failed to realize that that line is a barnacle - mis-attached based on Emma Siggins White fallacy, many long years ago.)

Here is the "Sidney" Hawkins lines:
John Hawkins, in right of his wife. He was born on 30th March, 1719, and was the youngest son of John Hawkins, carpenter and builder, and Elizabeth his wife, daughter of Thomas Gwatkin of Townhope, Hereford, gentleman. After qualifying as a surveyor he adopted the profession of the law and was employed by Mr. Peter Storer, whose acquaintance he made at the Academy of Ancient Music, and whose daughter, Sidney, as we have seen above, he married.
