Excerpt from The Adventures of Christopher Hawkins: Containing Details of His Captivity, a First and Second Time on the High Seas, in the Revolutionary War, by the British, and His Consequent Sufferings, and Escape From the Jersey Prison Ship, Then Lying in the Harbour of New York, by Swimming In consequence of these qualities, as well as for his practical business turn, he was frequently appointed by the local and state authorities to lay out wards, partition fences, and settle contested claims. He was at one time a Commissioner of Roads, and was the first Supervisor of Newport, having been chosen such in 1807 at the first meeting of the town after its erection. He held the office for fourteen years, when, after a short interregnum, he was again elected to the same situation, and served for six years longer.
