Notes

"Robert Pearle sold to Henry Holland Hawkins of Charles Co., Gent: 44 acres called "Archer's Pasture" 26 Nov 1736.

Hawkins Family Cemetery, Oakley Farm, La Plata Maryland. The Hawkins family cemetery is located on what was once known as Oakley farm (Now Hawkin's Purchase subdivision), at the end of Hawkins Gate Road just outside of La Plata Maryland. The cemetery is maintained, whenever possible, by the Bowling family of La Plata and is privately owned by the decendants of the Hawkins family. Vandals damaged and stole some stones in the late 1970's
The following records include the inscriptions on the stolen stones recorded by myself prior to the vandalism.

The history of this family in Maryland is well- preserved in the archives. It can be traced to Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Alabama, Florida and California.

The immigrant Henry Hawkins, father of Henry Holland Hawkins, is not believed to be buried here. It is likely he is buried at a farm known as Johnsontown part of which which still survives in Charles County Maryland.

Photographs, taken ca. 1900 and in the possession of the Bowling family, indicate that two additional markers may be missing. These additional graves appear to be marked by rose bushes and possibly ferns now growing where the photos show what appear to be wooden posts topped with stone urns. It is not certain, however, that they were grave markers.
