John Dawes 1st Baronet 1644-1671

Paternal Family Tree: Dawes

In 1644 John Dawes 1st Baronet was born.

Before 3rd May 1663 John Dawes 1st Baronet [aged 19] and Christian Hawkins were married without the permission of her guardian Andrew Riccard [aged 59]. Some sources refer to her as Christian Lyons, some Lygons.

Samuel Pepys' Diary. 3rd May 1663. Lord's Day. Up before 5 o'clock and alone at setting my Brampton papers to rights according to my father's and my computation and resolution the other day to my good content, I finding that there will be clear saved to us £50 per annum, only a debt of it may be £100. So made myself ready and to church, where Sir W. Pen [aged 42] showed me the young [his wife] lady which young Dawes [aged 19], that sits in the new corner-pew in the church, hath stole away from Sir Andrew Rickard [aged 59], her guardian, worth £1000 per annum present, good land, and some money, and a very well-bred and handsome lady: he, I doubt, but a simple fellow. However, he got this good luck to get her, which methinks I could envy him with all my heart.

On 1st June 1663 John Dawes 1st Baronet [aged 19] was created 1st Baronet Dawes of Putney.

Samuel Pepys' Diary. 9th August 1663. So from thence walked back to Mrs. Russell's, and there drank and sat talking a great while. Among other things talked of young Dawes [aged 19] that married the great fortune, who it seems has a Baronet's patent given him, and is now Sir Thos. Dawes1, and a very fine bred man they say he is.

Note 1. Not clear why Pepy's refers to him as Thomas when he was John Dawes 1st Baronet.

In or before 1670 [his son] Robert Dawes 2nd Baronet was born to John Dawes 1st Baronet [aged 25] and [his wife] Christian Hawkins

In 1671 John Dawes 1st Baronet [aged 27] died. His son Robert [aged 1] succeeded 2nd Baronet Dawes of Putney.

On 12th September 1671 [his son] William Dawes was born to John Dawes 1st Baronet and [his wife] Christian Hawkins. He married 1st December 1692 Francis Cole d'Arcy, daughter of Thomas Darcy 1st Baronet, and had issue.

Before 1713 Anthony Deane [aged 79] and [his wife] Christian Hawkins were married.
