Notes and Sources


   1.  Miller, Robert B., "Hawxhurst Family," The New York Genealogical and
       Biographical Record, 32 (1901):  172-176, 221-224; 33 (1902):  24-27.
   2.  Riker, David M., Genealogical and Biographical Directory to Persons
       in New Netherland from 1613 to 1674.  CD-ROM. Cambridge: The
       Learning Company, 1999.  1439.
   3.  Ibid., p. 699.   It's entirely possible that I misread Miller's
       article, but I believe he felt that siblings Christopher and Mary
       Hawxhurst were the children of Samson Hawkshurst [1571-1627].
