Note 1
!StyleName: Hawkins, Sergeant John [~1492 - ~1531]
!Note: Likely son of John Hawkins , a merchant of the Stephen Hawkins line. This branch most likely operated along the Wiltshire-to-York trade route, as the family was originally based in Yorkshire. The title “Sergeant?” is drawn from his 1531 burial in Salisbury, suggesting he served in the military—possibly dying in active service. His burial, with noted rank, points to a martial career and a family-arranged funeral of respectable standing. The timing and context support his identification as a younger son of this influential merchant family.
