William Hawkins, Junr., Culpeper. £36.3.11 (Falmouth Store) and £11.1.10 (Culpeper Store), William Cunningham & Co; £209.13.7, Bogle, Somerville & Co. (Falmouth Store). At the peace he possessed no land and two or three slaves which were incumbered for the security of debts contracted before that time. Some people who did not know these slaves were subject to any incumbrance were inclined to believe he was solvent at the peace; others who knew of the debts he owed and the incumbrances on his property had no hesitation in pronouncing him insolvent at that period. His property at the peace was not equal to the payment of one fourth of his debt. As soon as the courts were opened he was, in the language of my informant, torn all to pieces by executions which swept the whole of his property. Some time before 1786 he was generally reputed insolvent. In that year he married his second wife, Miss Dolly Gaines, who unfort unately had violated her chastity and who married Hawkins in opposition to the wishes of all her friends. By her he got some property but it was no sooner in his hands than it was in the Sheriff's. About 1794 or 1795 he went to Kentucky, quite insolvent, and settled in Green River. The Rev. John Price of Fayette Co., Ky., married a sister of William Hawkins' first wife. Capt. Richard Gaines of Culpeper is a relation of William Hawkins' second wife.

about 1776 and left a very good estate more than sufficient to pay his debts. His acting executor is his son
James Gaines, now of Culpeper County. The estate was distributed among the legatees shortly after the peace .
The executor himself seems anxious to pay the just demands of his testator but says he should not be indemnified by the legatees if he paid any except such as the law would compel him to pay.1

about 1776 and left a very good estate more than sufficient to pay his debts. His acting executor is his son
James Gaines, now of Culpeper County. The estate was distributed among the legatees shortly after the peace .
The executor himself seems anxious to pay the just demands of his testator but says he should not be indemnified by the legatees if he paid any except such as the law would compel him to pay.1

James Robb, then of Orange and now of Port Royal, who was a creditor to a considerable amount, took administration on the estate in order to secure his own debt. These claims were presented to Mr. Robb in due time but the estate being barely sufficient to pay his own debt, these
of course went unpaid. Mr. Robb, who was interested himself in the recovering of British debts, would never have withheld payment if the assets in his hands would have enabled him.1
