1802 Map by Simeon De Witt (Library of Congress Geography and Map Division)
If you're researching an ancestor with the surname Hawxhurst,
Hauxhurst, Hawkhurst, Hawkshurst or several other variant
spellings, then your ancestor is probably the descendant of
Christopher Hawxhurst. Christopher Hawxhurst was the early
immigant to Providence Plantation, Rhode Island and Oyster Bay,
Long Island, New York.
Christopher was married to Mary Reddocke around 1655 in Providence Plantation, Rhode Island.
Most information on the Hawxhurst Family derives from a series of three
articles entitled "The Hawxhurst Family" by Robert B. Miller published
in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record
in July 1901, October 1901 and January 1902. This work in
part was based on an earlier article in the same publication
and on information in a book The MacDonough-Hackstaff Ancestry written by Rodney MacDonough and published in 1901.
This website is a work in progress. It is incomplete, and

Please help make this information
accurate by submitting your family information, corrections, additions
and comments with as much supporting
documentation as possible.
Thank You!
