[edit]

AN ENGLISH MOMENT by Jack Williams has thses lines in it

"Sixteen generations since the brothers went to sea Richard fought the Spanish fleet off Plymouth and Torquay John set sail for America in a cold Southampton rain And though it’s been four hundred years their blood runs in my veins."

The only relatives I can find with those names are Richard and John Hawkins, and whilst they were not actually brothers, but father and son, I wonder if this would be worth including in a Pop Culture heading...— Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.35.219.101 (talkcontribs) 14:30, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
