Note 1
!StyleName: Hawkins, Sergeant John [~1482 - ~1531]
!Note: 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.
