Notes

Note 1

!Note: Two grandson’s Roger and Thomas by his first son John were both born in Hughley, where he died, shortly before Roger. Thomas went on to live and have children in Hughley.

Note: John Hopkins , from the Sir Thomas Hotchkiss branch, likely married in Barford in 1559 because it was part of the trade route run by the merchant Hotchkiss family. That branch, started by William Hotchkiss of Shrewsbury, used places like Barford and Houghton Regis to help with family needs—arranging marriages, caring for widows and orphans, and keeping the wider family connected. John’s marriage there likely happened through this network.
