    Mr. Zachariah Hawkins lived in the house which has since been called the Judge Meigs place; was a son of Robert Hawkins of Derby, who came from England in the reign of King George 3rd.
    Zachariah Hawkins owned land quite extensively in Quakers Farm, even to the Housatonic river and owned an island in the river. He had four wives and 14 children with the three first wives. He died in 1806. His son Silas owned and lived in the old-fashioned red homestead called the old Hawkins homestead, and raised six children. His son Silas, Jr. lived there but never married. His brother Charles lived in the same street and his grandchildren now occupy the old place whose names are Roberts, they being the fifth generation in the old homestead.

    Mr. Zachariah Hawkins lived in the house which has since been called the Judge Meigs place; was a son of Robert Hawkins of Derby, who came from England in the reign of King George 3rd.
    Zachariah Hawkins owned land quite extensively in Quakers Farm, even to the Housatonic river and owned an island in the river. He had four wives and 14 children with the three first wives. He died in 1806. His son Silas owned and lived in the old-fashioned red homestead called the old Hawkins homestead, and raised six children. His son Silas, Jr. lived there but never married. His brother Charles lived in the same street and his grandchildren now occupy the old place whose names are Roberts, they being the fifth generation in the old homestead.
