Francis Lister Hawks was born on June 10, 1798, at New Bern, North Carolina, United States, the second son of Francis and Julia (Stephens) Hawks, and grandson of John Hawks.
Francis graduated with honors at the University of North Carolina in 1815. He then began the study of law under William Gaston and later went to the famous law school of Tapping Reeve and James Gould at Litchfield, Connecticut. Later he studied theology under Rev. William M. Green, later bishop of Mississippi, in 1827 he was successively ordained deacon and priest.
After serving as assistant in Trinity Church, New Haven, and then assistant in the parish of St. James in Philadelphia, Francis Hawks was elected in 1830 professor in the divinity school of Washington (now Trinity) College, Hartford, Connecticut. In 1831 he became rector of St. Stephen’s, and later of St. Thomas’ Church, in New York City, holding the latter place until 1843. During this period he was assistant secretary of the General Convention of 1832, and secretary of the New York diocesan convention in 1834, was elected in 1835 missionary bishop of the Southwest but declined that office, and was professor of ecclesiastical history at the General Theological Seminary, 1833-1835. In 1837 he was editor, for a few months, of the New York Review, for which he wrote frequently, contributing to its early numbers severely critical articles on Jefferson and Burr. In 1839 he established a church school, St. Thomas’ Hall, at Flushing, Long Island. The venture resulted in the loss of a great deal of money and drew such criticism that Hawks resigned as rector of St. Thomas’ Church and moved to Mississippi, where he was soon elected bishop, but declined the office. He was an original trustee of the University of Mississippi.
In 1844 Hawks became rector of Christ Church, New Orleans, and was elected the first president of the University of Louisiana, which began operations under his guidance. In 1846 he volunteered to become professor of history at the University of North Carolina, but the chair was not established. Three years later he resigned his charge in New Orleans and his presidency of the University and returned to New York as rector of the Church of the Mediator. Subsequently he went to Calvary Church, but in 1862, on account of his sympathy with the South, he resigned and went to Christ Church, Baltimore. During this period in New York he was instrumental in establishing (1853) we Church Journal. He returned to New York in 1865 and formed the parish of Our Savior, and also that of Iglesia de Santiago where he preached and conducted services in Spanish.
Hawks wrote a number of books, historical and otherwise, for children, and to secular American history contributed Early History of the Southern States (1832); The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence (1836); Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan under the Command of Commodore M. C. Perry (1856); History of North Carolnia (2 vols. , 1857-1858), and other works. He also edited The Official and Other Papers of the Late MajorGeneral Alexander Hamilton (1842). Suggestive of the scope of his interests are: The Monuments of Egypt (1850); Peruvian Antiquities (1853); Romance of Biography (1855); The English Language (1867). For a time he was editor of Appletons’ Cyclopaedia of Biography.

Hawks was a member of the New York Historical Society, the American Ethnological Society and the American Geographical and Statistical Society.
Hawks was a man of great ability and unusual charm. Interested in many subjects, an omnivorous reader, possessed of quick wit, and remarkable gifts as a conversationalist, he was widely popular. He had a quick temper and was inclined to unrestrained and angry speech, but he was quick to repent and atone for any unkindness.
In 1823 Hawks married Emily Kirby of New Haven, Connecticut, who died in 1827. Later he married Mrs. Olivia (Trowbridge) Hunt of Danbury, Connecticut. He had two children by his first marriage and six by his second.
