Notes
a. Continued:   Rebecca Hawkins and her mother Rachel (Buck) Hawkins witnessed a land transaction in Williamstown between her father and half brother Samuel Hawkins. Evidently Rebecca and Joseph came to Broome Co. to be near two brothers of Rebecca (Elijah and Enoch) who had settled in Broome Co. A history of the Town of Coventry by Oliver Judd, written in 1912, indicates the children were grown before they moved from Massachusetts. However, since Joseph was listed as being in Broome Co. for the 1820 census, several children would have been under 20 when the family moved to NY State.
  Nothing of a personal nature is known about Rebecca. From an entry in her son William Pike's diary a few months after her death, it appears he was emotionally close to her.
b. Continued:   Mrs. Erma Coburn had June 26, 1763 as Rebecca's birth date. Other sources just list 1763.
c. Continued:   William Pike made reference to the death of his mother in his opening entry (Oct. 7, 1817) of the 1817-31 journal. She had died on June 26, 1817, less than 4 months earlier.
d. Continued:   According to a letter from Mrs. Bell of Tunnel to Mrs Weidman of Windsor, written March 9, 1944, Rebecca was the first one to be buried in the family plot. She was buried in the front of the cemetery with her father Robert Hawkins on the left and her husband Joseph Pike on the right. Joseph Pike owned a lot in the Harpursville, NY cemetery where his second wife was buried and where we believe a son (likely Joseph Elisha) was buried. This cemetery (frequently referred to as the Hawkins/Pike Cemetery and occasionally referred to as the Kales Hill Burial grounds) was started on land on the farm of Elijah Hawkins on the Broome, Chenango county line. Apparently the road was next to the cemetery and the Pike farm was across the road from the Hawkins land.
e. Continued:   Rebecca signed her name as Hawkins on January 29, 1785 which meant she must have married after that time. Rebecca and Joseph may have been married after the 1790 Federal census was taken since the family is not listed in the Williamstown Census and it appears both were probably living there in 1790.
