JOHN HAWKINS (c1680-1778)

Commissary of Provisions

The Continental Army


John Hawkins was born in England about 1680. In 1743 he
emigrated to America with his sisters, Jane, Mildred,
Agnes and Elizabeth, and Thomas Langford and family.
They settled on Little River in Hanover County, about 40
miles northwest of Richmond.

Tradition has it that John was the third or fourth
descendant of Captain William Hawkins of the Royal Navy,
the father of Admiral Sir John Hawkins, and, like him, a
distinguished explorer and navigator.

In 1744 John married Mary Langford, daughter of Thomas
Langford of the Royal Navy.

John seems to have been acting for several years as a
Commissary under a Virginia State Commission, but
finally, at a period when the Continental Army was
suffering for lack of supplies, he was appointed by
Congress as Commissary, on the urgent request and
recommendation of Governor Patrick Henry. Girardin, in
his History of Virginia, vol.4, p. 329, says:

"To the genius and exertion of Mr.
Hawkins during the short time he lived
after his appointment to the Commissary
Department by the Board of War, much
was also due. That gentleman had
displayed in the discharge of his duties
the most indefatigable activity. Nature
and observation had fitted him for that
sphere of usefulness; his mind pervaded
the whole State, and the effect of his
services outlives him. He died in
Richmond in 1779."

John and Mary Hawkins had nine children. John was theancient
grandfather of the compiler of this journal.

Traveling to Kentucky

Despite the dangers from Indians that at times threatened toeliminate the early
Kentucky settlements, the population of settlers increasedsubstantially during the
years of the American Revolution.

Virginia paid its soldiers with military land warrants, withthe
amount of land dependent upon a soldier's rank and length of
service. Discharged soldiers and their families thus increasedthe
ranks of immigrants into Kentucky.

The population in Kentucky may have doubled in 1784. A British
agent put the 1788 population at 62,000k, and the census of 1790
reported 73,077 persons. My hometown of Campbellsville was
founded by Revolutionary War soldiers.

Death: !

Given Name: Mary

Given Name: Thomas

Given Name: Gideon

Occupation: Lawyer

Event: odds and ends
Type: Misc
Note: Names of his parents are not known. However, Gideon named his first
born son John Miller Marr - possibly John for Gideon'sfather?, and the
middle name - Miller, was his wife's family name. There is arecord of
one JOHN MARR, no age given, arriving in VA in 1705 (p.99)and a
JOHN MARR, no age given, arriving in VA in 1714 (p.159) inNugent's
"Cavaliers and Pioneers: VA Land Patents 1695-1732," Vol.III. It would
be logical that Gideon could have been the son of a mannamed JOHN.
However, more research is needed to make this connection.Also, the
Revolutionary War pension application of Gideon's son, JohnMiller
Marr, refers to him as "John Marr, Jr." He could have beencalled that if
his grandfather's name was John Miller.

Death: MAR 1777 Pittsylvania Co., VA

Given Name: Richard

Event: Type: Deeds
Note: He first appears in what was then Green Co., KY on the 1814 tax list.
He continues on the list until 1848. In 1835 William RichardMarrs
appears on the Green Co. tax list right next to Richard.This is a piece of
circumstantial information suggesting William Richard Marrswas a son
of Richard Marr.

The 1820 Green Co. census lists the Richard Marr family asbeing
composed of 4 males and 2 females under the age of 10.

In 1817 Richard purchased a lot in Summersville from JohnEmerson
(Green Co. Deed Book 7, p.374). Tax lists for 1818-1819 showRichard
owning the lot and 1 horse. He does not appear on the 1849Green Co.
tax list, but his wife does.

He left no will or estate settlement. Richard and Ann Marrsare believed
to have been parents of 14 children.
