THOMAS KEN AND IZAAK WALTON 173 



It is a little curious that this cabinet was not 

 mentioned in Walton's will, seeing that his hanging 

 cupboard was. Possibly he had given it during 

 his lifetime to his son-in-law, Dr. Hawkins, or to 

 Dr. Hawkins's wife. He says in his will that he 

 loved Dr. Hawkins " as his own son," and it was at 

 his, Dr. H.'s, Prebendal House at Winchester he 

 died, December 15, 1683. 



He married Anne Ken about 1646, he being 

 then fifty-three and his wife thirty-five. She died 

 in 1662, and the cabinet bears the date 1656, when 

 they were probably residing in Clerkenwell, for we 

 know little about his life from 1650 to 1661.
