James Hawkins (bishop)
James Hawkins was an Irish Anglican bishop in the 18th and 19th centuries.[1][2]
A former Dean of Emly (1766–1775), Hawkins was the Bishop of Dromore from 1775 to 1780 and Bishop of Raphoe from then until his death on 23 June 1807.[3][4]
He married Catherine, the daughter of Gilbert Keene and niece of William Whitshed; they had four sons and three daughters. His son James adopted the additional surname of Whitshed and was created first Baronet Whitshed-Hawkins. His son Thomas became Dean of Clonfert in 1812 and Dean of the Chapel Royal, Dublin in 1831.
