Richard Sawkins or "Hawkins" (d. May 22, 1680) was a British buccaneer who partipated in the Pacific Adventure, a privateering expedition headed by Captain John Coxon. Although little is known of his early life, Sawkins was captured by "HMS Success" and later imprisoned in Port Royal while awaiting trial for piracy as late as December 1, 1679. Wikipedia
