Note 1

!StyleName: Richard Hotchkiss of Ashe, Whitchurch

!Note: Educated at Eton College, with records placing him there in both 1475 and again in 1479. This extended schooling period aligns with the pattern established by his father, Sir John Hotchkiss, who also sent other sons through elite institutions. Richard later appears in the Shrewsbury Burgess Roll as a smith and leaves a 1557 will naming him of Ashe , Shropshire, further cementing his identity and lineage within the Hotchkiss estate line.
