The Hawley Society was organized in 1923 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, by descendants of Joseph Hawley (1603-1690), believed to be one of the first Hawleys to settle in the new world. We exist to preserve the memory, records and history of the Hawley Family, and to promote friendly acquaintance and sociability among our members.

 

We were incorporated in Connecticut in 1927 and are a corporation managed by an Executive Committee who serve as volunteers. There are no employees on payroll. Membership dues help fund the ongoing operations. Two of our primary missions are continuing the search to find our English antecedents and to update and republish THE HAWLEY RECORD, 1890.

An Actual Family Reunion

Another Hawley Society Reunion has come to an end.    A huge thank you to John and Dana Hawley and their sons Austin and Paul, of the Hawley Winery in Dry Creek Valley. The reunion was a smashing success (no pun intended) thanks to the hospitality of this Hawley Family. We very much enjoyed learning about wine making, falconry, and experiencing Dana’s beautiful art. I, for one, could be very happy sipping wine, sitting on the deck and enjoying the amazing view with my newly met cousins.

One of the highlights of the trip was the meeting of first cousins Harland Hawley of Kansas City, Charles Ray Hawley of San Carlos, California and Dorith Cosci of Redwood City.    Cynthia Adrian, Darith’s daughter,  said that she had not seen Charles in fifty years.   Truly a very memorable family reunion!

We were very happy to meet the many new attendees as well as reunite with those we knew.    Safe travels to all on the way home.

–Michael
