There is no birth record for Mary --?-- and her parents are not known. Her given name is known only from a 1721 deed selling land to Elisha Knowlton (a brother-in-law) in Providence, Rhode Island[1].

She married William Hawkins (1676-1752) before 1710, probably in Providence[1]. There is no extant marriage record.  They had six children, all born in Providence but there are no extant birth records[1]:

*  Mary Hawkins (1710-1767), married 1728 John Tracy (1695-1751).
*  John Hawkins (1711-1740).

*  Sarah Hawkins (1719-1753), married 1738 Richard Smith (1714-1774).

It is not known when and where Mary (--?--) Hawkins died.  It was some time between 1721 (the land deed in Providence) and 1752 (when William Hawkins' last known event was noted).  There is no burial record for Mary (--?--) Hawkins.
