There was an obvious contradiction, but you did not mention it. Starting to
live in one place in 1638 and marrying circa 1631, when others say he was
not in the country until roughly 1634 should have caught your attention and
mention it. Things like that usually do not escape your attention. Someone
mentioned to me a marriage by proxy with Adam in England and Ann Hutchinson
in North America, but that doesn't seem likely, but could that be the
answer?

The plot thickens................................
Family lore has him in 1630 on the Winthrop Fleet.................
Tony, has him arrive in 1634 (based on Adam's wife)
Eldon Olson has him not as yet arrived in 1633 (The Great Migration
Begins)
Spencer Hines, gives the surprise but did not realise it : He has him
settle in Charlestown in lynn 1638 and married circa 1631, as her second
husband...........................................
What makes you think I "didn't realize" that, Leo.
Further, I don't have him settle or marry or anything else -- it is
Roberts and Reitwiesner who do.
I made it quite clear the information came from their book and gave a full
citation of their source, or one of them. WAR should be able to speak to
this.
Please quote me accurately, sans "simplification".

In a website I find that Adam Hawkes married circa 1631 Anne daughter of
Edward Brown and Jane Lide in Charlestown or Lynn, MA. She was the widow
of
Thomas Hutchinson with several Hutchinson children.
If Adam Hawkes arrives in 1634 (Tony) or not yet in 1633 (Eldon) how can
he
marry in the USA circa 1631?
The question arrises when did his wife tell he arrived in 1634------she
must have known they married ca.1631. Was this many years after the
event? Had
she forgotten?
With many thanks. I think it is a puzzle worth solving.
With best wishes

Leo, _American Ancestors and Cousins of the Princess of Wales_ does place
Adam Hawkes in the Winthrop Fleet. Roberts and Reitweisner also have Adam
as ---- baptized Higham, Norfolk, England 26 Jan 1605 as Adam and son of
John Hawke. He reportedly died in Lynn, Massachusetts, 13 Mar 1671/72.
[p.
31]. No mention of the ship he arrived in.
He allegedly settled in Charlestown, in Lynn 1638 and married 1)
Charlestown,
circa 1631, as her second husband.
The source used by Roberts and Reitweisner, or at least one of them, is
Smith, Ethel Farrington _Adam Hawkes of Saugus, Mass., 1605-1672: The
First
Six Generations in America_, Baltimore, 1980, pp. 1-31.
If you can find that book perhaps your dilemma will be resolved, perhaps
not. Does anyone here have it?
The Winthrop Fleet story may just be Family Lore.
All Best Wishes,
