Excerpt from Cornish Ballads Other Poems Robert Stephen Hawker, more than forty years Vicar of Morwenstow, Cornwall, was born at Plymouth, December 3, 1803. His father, Jacob Stephen Hawker, then a medical man, subsequently took Holy Orders and became successively Curate and Vicar of Stratton, a town situated eight miles from Morwenstow. His grandfather was the Rev. Robert Hawker, D.D., the, Calvinistic divine, author of the well-known "Morning and Evening Portions." Robert Stephen Hawker, as early as 1821, the year before he entered Pembroke College, Oxford, published anonymously, at Cheltenham, his first poems, "Tendrils by Reuben," which have been appended to the present Collection of his Poetical Works. In November, 1823, he married Charlotte Eliza, one of the four daughters of Colonel Wrey I'Ans, of Whitstone House, near Bude Haven, Cornwall. The next year he returned to the University, and, in consequence of his marriage, removed his name from Pembroke College to Magdalen Hall.
