The surname Hawkins is a HAWKINS diminutive of Hal or Haw, nickname for Henry, though the Hawkins family of The Gaer, county Mon- mouth, England, and those of Cantlowes, county Middlesex, claim origin from the fam- ily taking its name from the parish of Hawk- ing, near Folkstone, county Kent, England, of which Osbert de Hawking was owner in the time of Henry II. This family removed to Nash Court in the parish of Boughton in the same county and there remained until 1800.
The most prominent branch of the English family of Hawkins has the following coat-of- arms: Argent on a saltire sable five fleurs- de-lis quartering azure a chevron between three demi-lions rampant or. Crest : On a mount vert a hind lodged or. Many of the Hawkins families in various parts of the United Kingdom use similar arms without the quartering. Family motto, Nil Desperan- dum. Barnes says: "In Edward 3rd's reign, when the French King John was a prisoner in France, the King of Navarre declared war against the King of France and called men to arms from all parts and paid them out of the treasury he had amassed. The Navarrois took the towns and castles of Creil-upon-Oise, Herielle and Mauconsell. After taking Mau- consell it was garrisoned by three hundred men under Babigois of Derry, an Irishman, Franklin and Hawkins, two squires of Eng- land, in 1658, and descendants have borne the arms given above commemorating the events mentioned, the saltire being used as a scaling ladder and the fleurs-de-lis being the standard of France which was taken from the castle of Mauconsell." The family at The Gaer, men- tioned above, bear the same arms; also those

at Tredunnock ; Kelston, county Somerset, the head of the house being a baronet ; also of Trewithan, Cornwall, the baronetcy being ex- tinct in 1829; also of Pennana, Cornwall. Sir John Hawkins, the celebrated naval comman- der of Queen Elizabeth, had a special coat-of- arms granted. Another Hawkins family at Herefordshire and Gloucestershire bore arms : Azure a chevron between three cenque-foils azure as many scallops argent on a chief gules a griffin passant of the field. Crest : A demi- eagle argent. A Berkshire family of Hawkins has a similar armorial ; another in Kent bears the following : Sable a lion passant or in chief three bezants. In Devonshire: Azure a chev- ron ermine between three oak slips or. In Lewell, county Dorset, there is still another armorial.

The Griffith family is of
GRIFFITH Welsh origin and claims de- scent from Llewellyn, the last of the Welsh kings, who was beheaded by the English in 1282. He was the son of Griffith, also king of Wales. No less than thirty branches of this ancient family, according to Burke, bear coats-of-arms. The coats-of-arms of the royal family were: Gules three passant in pale argent armes gules. Several Griffiths came early to Maryland and Virginia and founded families of importance and distinc- tion. Joshua Griffith, the first in New Eng- land, came with Henry Collins in the ship "Abigail," June, 1635, from the parish of Stepney, London, England. Nothing further is known of him, but the name Joshua is pre- served in the family. William Griffith is found of record in Boston in 1676, but no further ac- count of him is discovered. The name is very rare in American records in the early days of New England, but is very numerously repre- sented in Pennsylvania from an early period.
