1786 - 1851  (64 years)

• Name	Azel Hawkins
  Suffix	^
  Born	30 Aug 1786	Setauket, Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [1, 4, 5]
  Gender	Male
  Religion	Bef 1840	South Haven (Presbyterian Church), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [6]
  	probably a Presbyterian
  	In 1840, he owned one-half of pew 21 (the last pew in the center section)*, which was repurchased by the congregation for $5 and "made free for the use of any and every person that would attend religious service in the Meeting House." * Borthwick's assignment of pews is based on the arrangement of the pews in 1930 (and present). Yet, he reports that the interior of the church was rearranged at some point which placed the pulpit at the opposite end of the meeting house. Whether the pews were arranged in the same way then as now is problematical.

  	Also in the household were Bethia Hawkins (age 46, see), Georgiana March (age14) and Barnabas B. Hawkins. Barnabus was Azel's son. Georgiana's relationship to Azel is not known. And I have tentatively shown Bethia as a daughter of Azel, although no other references could be found supporting this assignment..
