Introducing Robert Hawkins of Maryland_____________ Robert Hawkins married Martha Davis in Baltimore Co, MD on 23 Apr 1764 as found in Maryland Marriages 1634-1777, Robert Barnes, 1975, p82. The citation states 2BA-226 which is from the St.John’s and St. George’s Parish found at the Maryland Historical Society; “despite the title of the manuscript, the records are chiefly those of St. John’s Parish.” Bastardy Cases in Baltimore Co, MD 1673-1783, Henry Peden JR, 2001 Case of Henry Beach 1767/1771 Henry Beach was charged with unlawful cohabitation with Elizabeth Dixon by the vestry of St. George’s Parish on 16 Mar 1767. Jane Beach was summoned as evidence. They were charged again and summoned on 5 Mar 1770. Henry and his wife appeared and declared that she had reason to believe he did unlawfully cohabit with Elizabeth Dixon upon which the said Beach to appear at the next vestry and bring a certificate from under the hands of his neighbors that they have parted on 21 May 1770. Henry produced a certificate by Samuel Smith, Jane Smith, and Robert Hawkins that Elizabeth Dixon has left his house and they do not think they cohabit together at present on 4 June 1770. Yet on 15 Apr 1771 another complaint was brought against Henry and Elizabeth for unlawful cohabitation. Whether or not these situations resulted in any actual bastardy cases per se will require further research…Ref St. George’s Parish Vestry Minutes (Reamy’s Abstracts) p110-111 Harford County Court (Land Records) MSA CE 113-1 AL 1 p153 Benjamin, Samuel, and William Richardson to Robert Hawkins Assignment Lease Richardson’s Outlett containing 80 acres P154 This Indenture made 26 August 1774 between Benjamin Richardson, Samuel Richardson, and William Richardson of Harford County province of Maryland of the one part and Robert Hawkins of said county and province aforesaid of the other part.
