Note 1
Note: Jone Hotchkiss survived a remarkable sequence of losses and remarriages that align with known waves of plague and sweating sickness between 1539–1547. She lost her first husband, Johanes Parker, just two months after marriage, and her only known child, Johana, died young in 1543. She remarried at least four more times across Essex, Gloucestershire, and Somerset — always within 2–3 years of the previous spouse’s death — suggesting recurring epidemic mortality. Jone appears to have endured these outbreaks with rare resilience, outliving all husbands and reaching an advanced age for the time. Her burial in 1572 marks the end of a life shaped by disease, movement, and survival through England’s most perilous decades.
