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.

REUNIONS

Membership in the Society is encouraged, but not required, to attend the reunions. And of course, your guests are welcome as well. The reunions can be a great way to meet your cousins and new friends with similar interests, and perhaps even discover an elusive bit of information that you have been struggling to find. It is a great opportunity to use the rare HAWLEY RECORD to find your ancestors.

We offer the Galleries below reflecting the last few reunions. We hope that you enjoy seeing them. Where would you like to see us meet next year?
