We know quite a bit about Henry Hawley and I descend through his line. Henry was born around probably around 1641 in Isle of Wight County shortly after James and Ann came to this country.

Mary Griffin

It is known his wife’s name is Mary from Westmoreland County, Virginia Order Book 1690 – 1698 Part One 1690/1 – 1692 P. 33 – Page 22a [8 April 1691] where Mary relinquished her dower. Henry Hawley acknowledged a deed of sale of land from him to Arthur King. Mary Hawley wife of the said Henry Hawley voluntarily acknowledged her relinquishment of dower.

I believe Mary Hawley is Mary Griffin. Although I have no documented proof , I have pretty fair circumstantial evidence.

In a deposition taken 20th March 1748 James Halley aged forty years being this Day produced as a Witness on the Lands in Controversy between Thomas Marshall Deft and Sampson Danel Deft being sworn & examined on behalf of the Deft sayth the ( ) where John Gist now lives just below a Branch was first ( ) M. Danel Father of the present Deft & that Henry Hawley Grandfather to the Deponent …. So we know Henry Hawley was James Hawley’s grandfather. Then in a Prince William County Land Causes May, 1792

James Halley aged about Eighty one years taken in the before mentioned suit [John Sanders vs. Henry Fitzhugh] gave a Deposition of on the part of the Deft. This Deponent being first sworn on the Holy Evangelists deposeth & saith that about Fifty five years ago this Deponents Uncle Walter Griffin, who is now deceased told this Deponent …. So we also know that Walter Griffin was James Halley’s Uncle. We know that Walter Griffin was born in 1629 and died in 1726 so he must have been of the same generation as Henry Hawley who was born around 1641. Furthermore Walter Griffin’s sister Mary supposedly was born in 1648 and died in 1691 in Stafford County. So I feel comfortable making the assumption that Mary Griffin married Henry Hawley.

From the book Prince William The Story of Its People and Its Places, Sponsored by The Bethlehem Good Housekeeping Club Manassas, Virginia 1961, P. 27 “Along the branches of Quantico Creek and the north branches of Chappawansicke, the following men took up patents between 1694 and 1743: William Bennett, Samuel Jackson, Abraham Farrow, Thomas Harrison, Robert Headges, William Halley, Henry Lucas, Henry Halley, Francis Jackson, Wansford Arrington, Philemon Waters, John Ashmore, John Farrow, John McMillam, William Spiller, Charles Green, and Bertrand Ewell.”

We also know from the following that Henry settled on the Spencer land which eventually became part of Mt. Vernon.

In the period immediately following Brent’s division, the first identified Spencer Tenant is Henry Hawley [Halley] who appeared on the scene c. 1693. His dwelling was about 1/2 mile south of Spencer’s back line. The names Henry and James Halley are mentioned in the Westmoreland records in 1699 and 1671/2 so it is speculated that Henry and James of that name at Mount Vernon, emigrated from Westmoreland. Henry was still living at Mount Vernon in 1718, at a place later occupied by the Wade family. Source: Robert Moxham in his book The First Hundred Years at Mount Vernon 1653-1753

Also “In the Mt. Vernon Ladies Association Library at George Washington’s home, Mt. Vernon, in Virginia, Washington MSS#243 (a-d) depositions taken on the 28th and 29th of March 1748 in Fairfax Co., Va. regarding the Washington land, the following is found: Sarah Halley Lewis age 62, an aunt of James Halley Sr. deposes that her father Henry Halley came and settled on Spencer’s Land about 55 years ago on land near Mr. Vernon as a tenant (in the year 1693), and James Halley, Sr. age 40 states that Henry Hawley, Sr., was one of the first inhabitants to settle on Spencer’s land. Henry Hawley was the son of James Hawley who immigrated to America in 1641. In deposition of Robert Stepans he states that old Henry Hawley is the father of William Hawley. Daniel Ansdale deposed “Old William Hawley was a tenant to Spencer, and Thomas Odford states that William Hawley was reportedly the son of Henry Hawley who was an ancient tenant on the land of Spencer. In addition Robert Moxham in his book The First Hundred Years at Mount Vernon 1653-1753 has placed Henry Hawley on Dogue Creek as early as 1693.” Source Linda Hawley

Mt Vernon is just to the North and east of the Occoquan River where Henry Hawley Jr. owned property.

A ferry across the Occoquan was begun in 1684 by Col. Mason. As Indian uprisings continued up through 1677, not many people maintained permanent residence in this area. This may have been whey Henry Hawley Jr. settled on the Spencer land which was probably more populated. Also in 1684,the General Assembly funded a military installation along the Occoquan near the ferry’s location.11 The Occoquan fort contained two structures, a large 60-foot by 22-foot storehouse and a smaller 100 square-foot hut for ammunition storage. Since the local Indian tribe had been driven away, four Indians were hired from the Mattawomans tribe in Maryland to perform security patrols. Col. George Mason supplied the shot, powder, and 100 yards of trading cloth as payment to the Maryland Indians. The first use of the ferry, in fact, was to transport militiamen. The military importance of this type of transportation is indicated by the exemption of ferryman from militia duty.

The need for frontier security often served as an impetus for early population growth. In 1686, four men obtained a land grant near Brentsville, to provide religious freedom for French Protestants (known as Huguenots). In return, the French families agreed to safeguard the frontier and monitor the Indian traffic along the Carolina Road. Significant settlement, however, did not occur anywhere in the area until 1722, when the Treaty of Albany required the Indians to reside west of the Blue Ridge mountains.12

One of the earliest houses constructed in the area was the Bel Air Plantation. At the time it was built, the colonial government constructed forts to protect settlers against Indian raids. No historical documentation exists concerning whether Bel Air first served as a fort, but its lower story is the same size that is typically required for forts. There is also evidence that prisoners were kept within the building. One of the clues was the shackles found attached to the wall.13 Settlement may have been encouraged by a change in Virginia law in 1669, requiring actual possession to perfect property ownership. The rise of local government paralleled the population increase, as the new community became more concerned with civil defense issues, including protection against Indian raids.

Finally in a deposition taken by Sarah Halley Lewis deposes that her father Henry Hawley settled on the Spencer Land near Mt. Vernon about 1693. “In the Mt. Vernon Ladies Association Library at George Washington’s home, Mt. Vernon, in Virginia, Washington MSS#243 (a-d) depositions taken on the 28th and 29th of March 1748 in Fairfax Co., Va. regarding the Washington land, the following is found: Sarah Halley Lewis age 62, an aunt of James Halley Sr. deposes that her father Henry Halley came and settled on Spencer’s Land about 55 years ago on land near Mr. Vernon as a tenant (in the year 1693), and James Halley, Sr. age 40 states that Henry Hawley, Sr., was one of the first inhabitants to settle on Spencer’s land. Henry Hawley was the son of James Hawley who immigrated to America in 1641. In deposition of Robert Stepans he states that old Henry Hawley is the father of William Hawley. Daniel Ansdale deposed “Old William Hawley was a tenant to Spencer, and Thomas Odford states that William Hawley was reportedly the son of Henry Hawley who was an ancient tenant on the land of Spencer. In addition Robert Moxham in his book The First Hundred Years at Mount Vernon 1653-1753 has placed Henry Hawley on Dogue Creek as early as 1693.” Source Linda Hawley

Henry Hawley died after 1717 in Stafford County, Virginia. His life was also very interesting. He knew George Washington as a child. He saw history in the making at Mt. Vernon. He was also referred to as Mr. which means he was also of he “upper class” in Virginia society. Even though he was a tenant of the Spencers, he was also a land owner.

Edward Hawley

Child of Edward Hawley and Unknown

Ann Hawley

We know from Ann Mack that Edward Hawley, by deposition in 1662, named himself a son of James, and that in another deposition taken in 1671, Edward stated he was about 16 years old, placing his birth around 1645/6. We also know he died young at 35 in 1680 in Westmoreland County. The only child we know of is Ann Hawley who was born between 1670 and 1680. We do not know who Edward’s wife was. However, since Henry Hawley and Jacob Lucas were named as Administrators for Edward’s estate and Jacob Lucas was named Ann’s guardian it does seem plausible that Edward’s wife was already dead in 1680 when he died or died at the same time.

When Edward was 13 years old his Uncle Peter Knight gave him a cow.

Northumberland County Record Book 1652-1658, Mr. Peter Knight his gift of Edward Hawley, Know all men by this presents that I Peter Knight of Wicocomoco for and in consideration of my love and affection I bear unto Edward Hawley, I give unto the said Edward Hawley one red and white cow calf marked over keeled and under keeled on both ears with a slit down both ears, the said Hawley to enjoy the said cow calf with all the increase to him and his heirs forever as witness my hand the 20th of May 1658. /s/ Peter Knight, Teste – Sam’ll Smyth

20th May 1658, this deed of gift was acknowledged in court by the said Peter Knight and recorded.

Then in 1660 when his Father James gave his granddaughter Elizabeth Knight a cow Edward witnessed the gift. He was 15 at the time and couldn’t sign his name since he signed with his mark. He also witnessed several transactions for his Father and Uncle, Peter Knight. He also witnesses the gift of a cow to his sister Mary Hawley from Peter Knight in 1661.

It is therefore ordered that Mr. Peter Knight take the depositions of the sd. witnesses for the proof of the sd. Will …

Edward was also a property owner at a young age and he also started bring people into the County with William Baseley when he was about 20 years old. He quickly assigned his interest to his uncle Jacob Lucas and Samuel Munns. Here he signs his name instead of his mark so he had to have been of the upper class since he could write his name.

During 1680 there are several judgments against Henry Hawley and Jacob Lucas as they settle Edward Hawley’s estate.

Ann Hawley went on to marry Solomon Redmond. Unfortunately he died in 1698. Her cousins Edward who was a son of Henry Hawley III and Charles who was a son of Jacob Lucas were named her securities.

Westmoreland County, Virginia Order Book 1698-1705 Part One 1698-1699, P. 10 – Page 8a [29 June 1698] Upon the petition of Ann Redman, relict of Solomon Redman, administration is granted her of her husband’s estate, Charles Lucas and Edwd. Hawley assuming to be her securities. It is ordered that Charles Tyler, John Chilton and Richd. Dudley appraise the estate.

Over the ensuing years, there were many land transactions regarding the 1665 patent of William Beasley and Edward Hawley.

Mary Hawley, the youngest of the children was born about 1650.

Like her brother Henry, Peter Knight gave her a cow in 1661 when she was about 13 which her brother Edward witnessed.

Northumberland County Record Book 1658 – 1662, P. 81 – P. 57, Be it knowne unto all men by these presents yt: I Peter Knight of Wicocomoco in consideration of my love & affection I beare unto Mary Hawley, I give unto the sd.

She married Jacob Lucas who like Peter Knight was involved in many land transactions with his Father-in-law James Hawley and brothers-in-laws Henry and Edward. We know that Mary was the daughter of James Hawley because in a deed of 1670 she acknowledges she is the wife of Jacob Lucas and the daughter of James Hawley.

We know that both James and Jacob lived in Cople Parish, Westmoreland County ca1664 embraced the eastern portion of Westmoreland County and extended westward to unmarked eastern line of Washington Parish. Cople Parish is a very special church family which continues the colonial pattern of the geographic parish. Coterminous with Cople District in southwestern Westmoreland County, it was formed in 1664 and named Cople (for an English Parish in Bedfordshire) prior to 1668. Before its formation, the area was part of Nomini Parish, formed in 1653. In colonial days, it was the established church, serving the whole community in both spiritual and temporal matters. Among its vestry and leading parishioners were Richard Henry Lee (who drafted the resolution for Independence and was one of the signers of the Declaration); Bushrod Washington (Justice of the US Supreme Court, nephew of George Washington), President Washington’s chief heir; George Eskridge (holder of numerous colonial offices and guardian of George Washington’s mother, Mary Ball who grew up in the parish); and Robert “Counsillor” Carter. After the Revolution and Disestablishment, the parish lay dormant and inactive from 1801 until 1834. During the 19th century, Nomini Church was rebuilt and Yeocomico Church restored.

Then in 1674 there is a deposition that James Hawley is supposed to be 46. That means he would have been born in 1627. This would mean he was 16 with a wife and two daughters when he came to this country in 1643. This deposition is in contradiction to previous dispositions and I am assuming it is wrong. We also learn that Jacob Lucas is 33 or was born in 1641 which would make him 9 years older than Mary.

Ordered Jacob Lucas attorney of Henry Hawley doe pay Jno. Canada 160 pounds of tobacco for his attendance as an evidence four days.

I don’t have any additional information on Jacob or Mary after 1694. According to Ann Mack Jacob died in 1704 and Mary preceded him.
