Notes

Note 1

!Note: Intense Early Family Loss and Transition

Robert Hotchkiss’s first marriage, likely begun around 1538, produced five children in rapid succession — including probable twins William and Joan in 1539. This pace of childbirth, paired with the stress of travel and household moves, may have contributed to the early death of at least two infants and possibly the mother herself by 1543.

Robert remarried twice and had a large second family, but the heavy losses and transitions in these early years shaped the family’s later structure and regional dispersal across Berkshire, Sussex, and Somerset.

!Note: Following the death of his first wife in March 1543 — likely from complications in childbirth — Robert Hawkins was left with a newborn daughter, Maria, and a deceased infant son, John. His remarriage by October of the same year reflects both the urgency of his situation and possibly the support of his brother Richard, whose own wife gave birth to Margaret that spring. This shared domestic moment may have solidified the brothers' bond in Houghton Regis.
