William Hawes of Lelant, d. 1683, the earliest known progenitor of the Hawes family in that parish, was known to have married an Ann Kelway.
William left three children: William Jr., Elizabeth w/o Lewis Penberthy and Jane w/o Christopher Penberthy and William Hawking.
Originally I had subscribed the three children to his marriage with Ann; but a more careful look at copies of the original Lelant Bishop's Transcripts have now convinced me that this marriage could not have taken place early enough (late 1640s) for Ann to be the mother of his children.
Elizabeth was married in 1673.
Jane married her second husband in 1687 and was already a widow with one child.
William Jr. began having children in 1687.
The page of the Bishop's Transcript which contains the marriage of William Sr. to Anne Kelway is undated, but also has a list of the following burials:
Burials:
John Cocke
John Morracke Junr.
John Thomas the Ju
ffrancis Hampton
Will. Stevens
Eliz. White
Eliz. Penberthy
John Jacka
Mary Wereon wid.
Of the above, John Cocke, John Morracke, ffrancis Hampton, John Jacka and Mary Wereon all appear on the 1664 Lelant Hearth Tax, so the listing must be later than that. Further, a comparison to the handwriting shows that it is very similar to the handwriting on the pages dated 1672/3 and 1674. So the page is likely from the 1670s, which would make Anne a second wife and not the mother of William's children.
