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...........................................
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

Hello Leo:
It appears Adam Hawkes was not a member of the Winrthrop party in 1630.
I descend from Adam Hawkes (through his daughter Susanna (Hawkes)
Cogswell), and to my knowledge the best source for him is R.C.
Anderson's _The Great Migration_, vol.3. (2003) pp. 253-7. In this
work,
it is stated that Adam Hawkes arrived in 1634 (based on his wife's
admission to Charlestown, MA church). More to the point, he also says,
"The claim that Adam Hawkes came to New England in 1630 with the
WIntrhop Fleet [_ Adam Hawkes Gen._ 1, 6-12] is highly unlikely, given
the lack of records for him and his family prior to 1634. The list of
names from 1630 put forth in support of this claim is insufficient
evidence, since most of the entries on that list are only surnames, and
there are many which do not appear in New England."
Best wishes,
Tony
