Johane Pinney (Hawkins) - Confusion

The problem here is that "Hawkins" is actually a *very* common name, and people jump to the conclusion that they're all related. They're not.

I went ahead and put a locked cap over the Johane's generation of Hawkinses (thanks Maven for the start), and put them in date order. Definitely looks like a mismerge. Also, the husbands appear to be different generations. Both plausible, but not sure which to choose here.

This profile Richard Hawkins, of Westmoreland County is a particular source of trouble. People keep trying to make him into Richard Hawkins of Pryvitt, second son of Admiral Sir Richard Hawkins - but he isn't.

At the moment not very much is correct about him except that he had a daughter Elizabeth who married Humphrey Pope. Some relatively recent findings are posted here:

Looks like we have a real hoorah's nest on our hands.
