Richard Hawkins, the second son of Admiral Sir Richard Hawkins and Judith Hele was born at Slapton, Devon, England.

He immigrated to America about 1658.
Their daughter Elizabeth was born in 1635. She was baptized at the Slapton Parish Church of St. James. (This daughter probably immigrated with her father and stepmother, Elizabeth Drake. She married Humphrey Pope in Westmoreland Co. Virginia in 1650.

Hello: I am a direct descendant of Richard Hawkins of Slapton, Devon. Thank you for the find-a-grave memorial.
My wife and I have just returned from England where we saw the street and church where Sir John lived and worshiped in London. We also visited the Village and church of Slapton, Devon where Sir Richard and his son Richard are both buried along with their wives. The church was closed that day so we didn't get a chance to see any Parish records. There are several public memorials for Sir John in Plymouth where the fleet was launched that defeated the Spanish Armada.
Keep up the good work.
