Generation Number One
EDWARD HAWES, progenitor of his heirs in America, is an enigma to those of us who have followed. He is nowhere to be found in any of the ships' lists of passengers who came to America in the period of 1620 to 1648 when his name first appeared in Dedham, MA. Genealogists, both professional and amateur, have made numerous attempts to determine where Edward originated from in England, all without success.
With virtually no proof, other than family tradition, the best theory advanced is one written by Frederick8 Wilson Hawes (Frederick7, James6, David5, Hezekiah4-3, Daniel2, Edward1). He arrived in Denison, TX in 1892 to clerk for A. G. Mosely, was admitted to the bar in 1894, was appointed assistant District Attorney by Silas Hars in 1896, and left in July 1898 to enlist for Spanish-American War service. In 1940 he wrote as follows:
"In 1893 or 1894, I was reading law in an office in Northern Texas. Across the Red River in the Indian Territory among all the remnants of Indian tribes were the so-called Five Civilized Tribes - the Cherokees, Seminoles, Creeks, Choctaws and the Chickasaws. For the purpose of handling their business in a more modern manner, these five tribes had changed from hereditary chiefs to governments based on the United States, each tribe having its own government. The law firm I was with were the attorneys for the Choctaws and the Chickasaws.
"A man whose name I no longer remember came to our firm well recommended by somebody. He wanted assistance in locating himself in the Territory where he could study the results these tribes were having with their new form of government. This man was very much of a gentleman, a college man, and I should judge of about 60 years of age. He was what is called a good mixer, got acquainted easily, and no one bore resentment. He was making his study for some college or society, as I remember it. Our firm established him with the Indians in authority. I took him with a team and buggy to Tishomingo, then the capital of the Chickasaws. That was the last I saw of him.
"He made a great point of my name, and asked if by any chance I was related to Mowhawk Ed Hawes: Never heard of him, I replied. "Who was your first ancestor in the country?", he wanted to know. I didn't know. I told him I didn't know our family history, but believed we had been in America a long time for my great-grandfather was in the American Revolution.
"According to this gentleman, one Edward Hawes had come to New Amsterdam, afterwards called New York, the year after the Dutch settled there. He was a stone mason. His partner was a Dutchman. In Holland these two had been working together for some time. They were
employed by the Dutch to come to the New World and assist in construction. (The Dutch West India Company established a fur trading post in New Amsterdam in 1614. At that time there were many Puritans in Holland, driven there from England by religious persecution.)
"Well, according to the story, both of these stone masons brought their wives. After the construction work was done, the Dutchman and his wife returned to Holland. Edward and his wife remained in New York. He accepted employment with the company as a fur trader. He
seems to have understood Indians from the start. "Squitum Waw Waw Ool Kaw", or Indian words somewhat similar, was his Indian name. The words are of some tribe beyond the Mohawks. After all these years I am not sure what the Indian words were, but I am sure of what
they meant -"the man who makes jumping soldiers." He used to make little jumping jacks for the Indian children, and in the forest he would gather a few sticks here and there for later use, or would stop and work a little on one of his toys. The Dutchmen thought Edward strange, the Indians thought him crazy. Edward himself probably thought it a slick way to avoid arrows, war clubs and scalping knives. I know it was, for Indians never injure anyone they believe insane.
"Edward and his wife had one child born in New York, a boy. His wife died from the effects of childbirth, and Edward placed his boy in charge of a squaw, superintended to a considerable extent by a friendly Dutch family. He named the boy Edward. He continued to trade with the Indians and was successful. After the boy was able to get about on his own legs, Edward's trading trips increased in length. On one such trip, he was gone all winter. This time he went as far as the great falls between two great lakes (This would have to be Niagara Falls between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, and not so long after their discovery by the Frenchman who received renown for it).
"Edward accumulated some money trading for the Dutch. Finally he heard of the Pilgrim settlement at Plymouth. Later he and his son went to Boston on an English ship which had been blown far off its course to Boston, and which made the port of New York to refit before
proceeding to Boston. They arrived in Boston in the early summer of 1635. (This would compare with the date of June 3, 1635 given in one history, also the year other authorities have given, and it would account for his name not being on any passenger list from England. This stranger to Texas may probably have given me the name of this ship, but I gave no that time.)
"Edward and his son lived in Boston and Dedham until the son made up his mind to marry. A girl named Eliony Lumber was what is called a bound girl. Her people had placed her as security for a debt whick she must work out at small wages, if she lived long enough. Old Edward bought the contract, and left her free to marry his son, which she did at Dedham. Old Edward then outfitted for a trading trip to the Indians. He hoped to reach the Mohawks again...he was never heard from afterwards.
"All of the above is the story of the stranger who came to Texas. It was based on Edward’s report and came down in the annals of the Lumber family. Eliony was related to this stranger’s ancestors. At that time I had no idea the Edward referred to might be connected to us, nor did I know he was our first ancestor in America. After my two lawyer associates ceased having fun by referring to me as "Squitum Waw Waw," I forgot it.
"Sometime later when I visited at home, my father told me about Edward really being our first ancestor in America, and that he was a stone mason. It caused me to wonder a bit. Dad knew nothing of this legend except what I told him. Afterwards, I sometimes thought of the stranger who came to Texas. How could he concoct such a story at the moment of meeting me? He had never heard of me before. Why should he admit his relative was a bound girl when it was the fashion to be free? I had to conclude he at least thought he was telling the truth. But I dismissed the story as too improbable and romantic, and in any event having no connection with us. My father didn’t who Edward had married. Years later when I found an Eliony Lumber actually had married our Edward, I did some more wondering, but then it stopped. It seemed a coincidence, no more.
"But now our distant kinsman, George8 Hawes, Wrentham, Massachusetts, tells me one of his relatives read among the ancient records of Wrentham something about like this:
"In 1638 the town gave a contract to Edward Haws and son to fell some trees on the public common to be used to make cooper's wares for the town use."
It looks to me like a boy old enough to contract with his father to cut wood in 1638 must have been born before 1635. There must have been two Edward Hawses in Massachusetts in the year 1635. Ten years had elapsed sicne the above contract (if there was one) and the time one Edward Hawes married Eliony in Dedham. How did Edward and the other Edward come? I have looked on all the passenger lists from England to Boston from the year 1620 to 1700. Nothing. Is it unreasonable to believe the elder Edward came earlier? And that the younger Edward was born in New York just as the legend says?
"If this was the elder Edward who married Eliony, he was rather old, and what became of the younger Edward?
"I said my father knew nothing of this legend. He did not. But he did know, as did the other Haweses, there was a tradition our first settler had lived with the Indians for a time. How long a time? He didn't know. There was a tradition our first settler was a stone mason. I looked very industriously for something that would indicate that the Edward who married Eliony was a stone mason. I found nothing. Of course that isn't proof that he wasn't a stone mason, but I think there should have been some mention of it somewhere.
"Why should this legend come down in the Lumber family and not in the Hawes family? I believe Edward and his father were honest men, the kind who would come clean when they were bargaining for Eliony. After the marriage Eliony and Edward may have thought it wise not to mention the prefix to Edward's life before he came to Massachusetts. If the elder Edward left an Indian wife in New York, and came to Massachusetts just to get his son started, whose business was it? But as Indians were not well thought of in those days, Edward and Eliony may have thought it wise not to saddle the facts on their children to come. Of course, this is just imagination on my part. What happened to Eliony's family? Maybe the debt against her was for their passage money home. Imagination again? But such things did happen - I have a neighbor who once had an Indian wife. I know it. If his white wife and children know it, they do not advertise.
"I can find no record of the Lumber family. I can not get away from the fact the man who told me this story believed he was telling the truth. I've had many arguments with myself, and they all end in favor of the legend.
(I want to make a correction. I said the Five Civilized Tribes changed their form of government. The Choctaws and Chickasaws did. There was talk of the other three tribes doing likewise .... but I finally went away soldiering. I don't remember whether the other three tribes finally changed or not.)
"You figure this legend out .... but I don't advise you to believe it. Old Edward not only would be in America from 1615, but he would be here five years earlier than the Mayflower, and earlier in America than any other Englishman north of Jamestown, Virginia. His son Edward Jr., would be a native son here in North America four or five years earlier than the Mayflower. Also, as there were no English women in Jamestown until long after [1607], it is quite probable Edward Jr. would be the first child of all English parentage in North America. Wouldn’s that be rich? We are the old settlers, and the Mayflower folks are just recent arrivals. But, it would be dangerous too. Those who make a career of early dates would hate, dislike and chase you around. This makes no difference to me as I live far away. I believe this legend myself.
"Venetians didn't believe Marco Polo, but history vindicated him."
HAWES is an old English name. It started out as HAW; some say that it is derived from the Hawthorne hedge. Other sources cite the Saxon word "haeg" and means a small enclosure near a house. Alen del Hawes is written in the "Hundred Rolls" in 1273 and is the first known recorded use of the name
By a Hawthorne (Haw-thorne) hedge in England,
A tribe of wild men grew,
And they were all related,
To me and you, and you
This is not just poetry
Of sweet melodious sound;
But the Hawes tradition
From the ancient Hawthorne ground.
Romans found them there, and William the Conqueror,
And Danes and Saxons too,
But still they lived by their hedge,
When all the fights were through.
They were not driven from their hedge,
Like history likes to say,
They merely heard of a better land
And simply walked away. Anon.
Robert Hawes was the first known Hawes to settle in New England, arriving from London, England and settling in Salem, MA in 1635. Edmond, a cutler, also from London, arrived in Boston, MA in 1635 on the ship James, and settled in Yarmouth, MA. Richard came from
Buckinghamshire, England in 1635 on the ship Truelove and settled in Dorchester, MA. Thomas settled in Salem in 1635, then moved to Yarmouth in 1639. William settled in Boston in 1652.
Any stated relationship of any of the above to Edward is conjecture. There has been no genealogical evidence presented that would verify any family connection.
According to family tradition, Edward Sr. was an Englishman, a Puritan, a stone mason and a husbandman. It is also said that his family kept a tavern north of London in the place where he was born. In those days a "tavern" was an eating place, a place to spend the night, perhaps a stage stopover as well as a place to take a nip.
It is said that after accumulating some money trading with the Dutch, he heard of the Puritan settlement in Plymouth and decided to sail for New England with his young son Edward. He is said to have arrived in Boston in 1635, some have the date as 03 June 1635, and from there went to Dedham (Frederick A. Virkus, "Compendium of American Genealogy, First Families in America" [Chicago, 1925] :254).
Early settlers in Massachusetts were mostly farmers thus artisans were encouraged to take up residence in town by being offered inducements to stay. In 1638, "Edward Hawes is granted liberty, for his sons, to take two or three trees from the town common to make cooper (barrel) wares for town use" (Frank Smith, "A History of Dedham, Massachusetts" [Dedham, 1936] :45). A facsimile of Edward Haws signature, dated 1673, is clearly legible on page 14 (ibid.).
Edward Hawes [the second] is first noted in Dedham, MA when the valuation of his house was estimated at 2 pounds in 1648 "for the Country (tax) rate" (Don Gleason Hill, Ed., "The Early Records of Dedham, Massachusetts, 1636-1659" [Dedham, 1892] :154). His valuation of 2 pounds, along with 2 others, was the lowest of the 84 property valuations shown. He next appears in the town meeting minutes for "8 of ye 9 mo 48" (08 Nov 1648) when "Tho. Wright is deputed to treat with Ed Hawes about the doeing such daubing worke as is needfull about the meeting house. & vpen viewe to put that worke (if he can, to him to doe in conueanient time. & and to see him pd Out of the Townes account. or in case Ed Hawes canot be attaynd. then to pcure som such other workeman to pforme the same as the case require wth all possible speed (ibid.:155). "10 mo 19 (1648) Ed Hawes requesteth one smale pcell of meadow the vse therof is granted to him till a general deuident be made" (ibid. :156). "I of ye 11 1650. At a genrall Meeteing of the Towne - the request of Edward Hawes, concerning one pcell of Meadowe is left to the care of the select men" (ibid.:134). A valuation of houses taken in 1651 includes Ed Hawes for "4 pounds, 3 shilling and 10 pence" (ibid.:183-4). Edward has been rising in prosperity compared to his compatriots with 15 other of the 77 houses listed of lower valuation. On "ye 7 of ye 1. Mo. 1652, The deuision of the deuident of 500 Acres to the Inhabitants vpon the rule of psons & estats";
Ed Hawes - 5 acres, 2 Roods, 0 Poles" (ibid.:241). (The above refers to the division of 500 acres of common land. A Rood is 1/4 acre).
Edward Hawes was by trade a lather and daber (plasterer). He appears frequently in the records of Dedham's First Church, a compilation by Deacon John Aldis. An account of payments made from the beginning of 1677 to the15th of the 10th month of 1678 includes "it payed by edward haues in fencing stof mackin and carting of it and a days work -1 pound, 17 shilling, 6 pence. Later, "it payed by edward haus 2 cord and a haf of wod - 10 shilling". During the years 1680-81, "it payed by edward hawes in a pdring tobe- 5 shilling", "it payed by edward hawes in macking and mending fenc - 1 pound, 5 shilling" and "it payed for 10 Rales and tou posts of edward hawes - 2 shilling". (Robert B. Hansen, ed., "The Deacon’s Book," [Bowie, MD, 1990] :23, 93, 115). There are numerous mentions that he was the one assigned to keep the younger boys in order during the church services. Edward is last mentioned as "edw haues" in the minister’s salary assessment list for the end of 1686 to the beginning of 1687 (ibid.: 156). There was no payment. The phonetic spelling of Deacon John Aldis was, if nothing else, different. Edward’s will was dated 04 June 1687. He died 28 June 1687, not 1686 as is shown in some records, including ("The Record of Births, Marriages and Deaths in the Town of Dedham, MA, 1635-1645", edited by Don G. Hill {Dedham, MA, 1885] :v. 1, 20). He was born ca. 1615, thus was about 70 years old when he died.
Almost nothing is known about Eliony Lumber (Lombard). She is thought to have been born in England about 1625 and to have died in Dedham, MA in 1688-89. She and Edward were maried in Dedham 15 April 1648 (vr.). The date is recorded as "15 2 mo 1648" which, under the Gregorian calendar of that period, was April, not February.---end of excerpt.

First Declaration of Independence
A Document by Joseph Hawes (1727-1818) at Wrentham, Massachusetts which Antedates Thomas Jefferson's at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The so-called "Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence", adopted by Mecklenburg County, NC, 20 May 1775, is not accepted by most historians, even though it survives in dates on the state seal and the state flag.
It is a little known fact that in Wrentham, Massachusetts, on the 5th day of June, 1776, there was promulgated another declaration of independence. It was presented "to Mr. Benjamin Guild, Mr. Joseph Hawes and Doct. Ebenezer Dragnett, chosen to represent the town of Wrentham in the General assembly the ensuing year. The record states: "The above report, after being several times read and distinctly considered by the town was unanimously voted in the affirmative without even one dissentient."
The original is in the Massachusetts archives in Boston.
"Gentlemen, We, Your constituents, in full town meeting, June 5th, 1776, give you the following instructions: -
"Whereas, Tyranny and oppression, a little more than one century and a half ago, obliged our forefathers to quit their peaceful habitations, and seek an asylum in this distant land, amidst a.howling wilderness, surrounded with savage enemies, destitute almost of every convenience of life was their unhappy situation; but such was their zeal for the common rights of mankind, that they (under the smile of Divine Providence), surmounted every difficulty, and in a little time were in the exercise of civil government under a charter of the crown of Great Britain: - but after some years had passed, and the colonies had become of some importance, new troubles began to arise. The same spirit which caused them to leave their native land still pursued them, joined by designing men among themselves - letters began to be wrote against the government, and the first charter soon after destroyed; in this situation some years passed before another charter could be obtained, and although many of the gifts and privileges of the first charter were abridged by the laste, Yet in that situation the government has been tolerably quiet until about the year 1763; since which the same spirit of Oppression has risen up; letters by divers ill-minded persons have been wrote against the government, (in consequence of which divers acts of the British Parliament made, mutilating and destroying the charter, and wholly subversive of the constitution); fleets and armies have been sent to enforce them, and at length a civil war has commenced, and the sword is drawn in our land, and the whole united colonies involved in one common cause; the repeated and humble petitions of the good people of these colonies have been wantonly rejected with disdain; the Prince we once adored has now been commissioned the instruments of his hostile oppression to lay waste our dwellings with fire and sword; to rob us of our property, and wantonly stain the land with the blood of its innocent inhabitants; he has entered into treaties with the most cruel nations to hire an army of foreign mercenaries to subjugate the colonies to his cruel and arbitrary purposes. In short, all hope of an accommodation is entirely at an end; a reconciliation as dangerous as it is absurd, a reconciliation of past injuries will naturally keep alive and kindle the
flames of jealousy. We, your constituents, therefore think that to be subject or dependent on the crown of Great Britain would not only be impracticable but unsafe to the state; the inhabitants of this town, therefore, in full town meeting, Unanimously and direct you (i.e., the representatives) to give your vote that, if the Honorable American Congress (in whom we place the highest confidence under God), should think it necessary for the safety of the United Colonies to declare them independent of Great Britain, that we your constituents with our lives and fortunes will most cheerfully support them in the measure".
The author of the above, Joseph Hawes, was described by Gilbert Ray Hawes in "Edward Hawes, the Emigrant, and some of His Descendents" (an Address 12 April 1895): "Wrentham was alive with patriots who were protesting against the Stamp Act and Taxation without representation, and other oppressive measures of the British Crown. Their vigorous action inspired others with hope and courage. When it became evident that a collusion with the mother country was imminent, Wrentham, like other towns, diligently drilled its militia and organized its two corps of Minute Men who were to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's warning, whenever called. The movement of the British troops to seize some military stores of the of the Province of Concord in April, 1775, gave the first opportunity to try the alacrity of these Minute Men. Joseph Hawes was Ensign or Lieutenant of Capt. Asa Fairbank's Company, which with four other
companies, 'marched from Wrentham on the 19th day of April, 1775, in the Colony service’ ".
The five Wrentham companies took part in the battles of Lexington and Concord, and afterwards fought at Bunker Hill and other battlefields of the Revolution. The muster rolls have all been preserved and among the members of the Hawes family who responded to the alarm were, besides Joseph, Capt. Benjamin Hawes, who led another company, Jonathan, Abijah, Joel, Moses, Matthias and Asa Hawes, all brothers and cousins of Joseph.---end of excerpt from "The Edward Hawes Heirs"
THE MECKLENBERG DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

Modern History Sourcebook:
Mecklenberg Declaration of Independence, 1775
Introduction
On April 30, 1819, the Raleigh (N.C.) Register published the following document, said to have been adopted by the Committee of Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, on May 20, 1775, the day after the receipt of the news of the battle of Lexington. The similarity of some of its phrases (here italicized) to phrases in the Declaration of Independence raised questions as to plagiarism on Jefferson's part, or, on the other hand, as to the authenticity of the Mecklenburg document. It is clear that Jefferson never heard of it before 1819; and the explanation most commonly adopted is, that it is a compilation, based in part on general recollections of certain resolutions, still extant, which were drawn up by the committee-men of Mecklenburg on May 31, 1775.
The Document
"1. Resolved, That whosoever directly or indirectly abetted, or in any way, form, or manner, countenanced the unchartered and dangerous invasion of our rights, as claimed by Great Britain, is an enemy to this County, to America, and to the inherent and inalienable rights of man.
2. Resolved, That we the citizens of Mecklenburg County, do hereby dissolve the political bands which have connected us to the Mother Country, and hereby absolve ourselves from all allegiance to the British Crown, and abjure all political connection, contract, or association, with that Nation, who have wantonly trampled on our rights and liberties¬and inhumanly shed the innocent blood of American patriots at Lexington.
3. Resolved, That we do hereby declare ourselves a free and independent people, are, and of right ought to be, a sovereign and self¬governing Association, under the control of no power other than that of our God and the General Government of the Congress; to the maintenance of which independence, we solemnly pledge to each other, our mutual cooperation, our lives, our fortunes, and our most sacred honor.
4. Resolved, That as we now acknowledge the existence and control of no law or legal officer, civil or military, within this County, we do hereby ordain and adopt, as a rule of life, all, each and every of our former laws -where, nevertheless, the Crown of Great Britain never can be considered as holding rights, privileges, immunities, or authority therein.
5. Resolved, That it is also further decreed, that all, each and every military officer in this County, is hereby reinstated to his former command and authority, he acting conformably to these regulations, and that every member present of this delegation shall henceforth be a civil officer, viz. a Justice of the Peace, in the character of a 'Committee¬man,' to issue process, hear and determine all matters of controversy, according to said adopted laws, and to preserve peace, and union, and harmony, in said County, and to use every exertion to spread the love of country and fire of freedom throughout America, until a more general and organized government be established in this province."

Notes for Charles Freeman Harvey:
NEW YORK TO GALVESTON ISLAND & TEXAS
Charles Freeman Harvey was a steam fitter in Boston, MA, and lived in or near there. Charles kept a journal when he took his family from New York to Galveston, TX, on a steamship. Then from Galveston to Indianola, TX, by steamship. Then from Indianola to Goliad by wagon (October 11, 1878 to October 31, 1878).
The family lived near Goliad for ten years. They survived a severe hurricane in 1886 which wiped out Indianola and destroyed their home. He sold his land and moved north at the encouragement of his son George.
The family moved to Greer County, TX, in November of 1888, going by train. They were met at Vernon, TX, by Charles' son, George, who led them to Altus, after spending the night at Doan's Crossing on the Red River. They settled 3 miles north of Altus in Greer County, TX.
The Harveys hired a Reid to work as a carpenter to build their new home and thus began the Harvey-Reid connection.---"A Reid Family"

Notes for George Freeman Harvey:
BOSTON
George Freeman Harvey lived in or near Boston, MA, as his father was a steam fitter there in 1868 when he married his third wife, Mrs Amelia Darling Tucker. George worked as a newsboy in Boston and told the story of selling many copies of the "Boston Gazette" on the day when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. George would have been about eight years old at that time.
MOVING WEST
George evidently went west at an early age as there is a story of his working on a ranch, possibly in Kansas, guarding a field of corn from the cattle of a neighboring ranch. George fell asleep and the neighbor's cattle caused considerable damage to the corn. The two ranchers agreed that the owner of the cattle would pay the difference of the yields of their corn crops as reparations. The damaged corn yielded more than the neighbor's so George was not discredited.
There are other stories that George was in Montreal, Wyoming and Colorado.
Along with his brother Fenton, sister Minnie and her husband, Major Libby, George visited his father's family in Goliad, TX, in 1887. Evidently, George influenced his father to move to Greer County, TX, to homestead prairie land.
They sold the family property near Goliad in November of 1888. George met the family in Vernon, TX, on November 9, 1888, with a load of corn to sell. He hauled the family to William Derr's place where they boarded while they staked their claim and built their house. George had teams and a wagon and helped by hauling lumber and supplies.
George homesteaded and built a small house on the northwest quarter section, three miles north and one mile east of what is now Altus, OK. George and his wife, Minnie, worked hard and prospered. They purchased property two miles further east and built a larger house, more modern and with more room.
Minnie died in childbirth in 1912, but, with the help of the older children, George was able to keep the family together and educate the children. In the early years they attended the nearby "White" schoolhouse. Later, they went to school in Altus.
In later years, George bought an orange grove in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and made several trips there. It was on one of these trips that he died of an acute heart attack in New Braunfels, TX.---"A Reid Family" Eugene Reid
