Family history search uncovers interesting lead

Dear Editor,
I was trying trace if any of my family who emigrated to America in the
early 1800s, and came from Devon as my father did, had links with Hawkinge.

I stumbled on something quite different; the name Osbert de
Hawking 1293 at Faversham.
I always thought that there may be some connection with my surname to Hawkinge.
The early spelling was Hawkyngge.
My family history on my fathers side centres around Holsworthy, Bradworthy,
Hartland.
Very interesting.
