Notes

Note 1

!Note: Identified as Jane Hotchkiss of Bridgwater based on:

  – Proximity to wool trade and family settlements; likely Bridgwater-to-Pendoylan link across the Bristol Channel [28.4 miles; overland is 74 miles]

  – Baptismal match in 1558/9

  – Her father Sir Richard Hotchkiss’ presence in Wales in 1592 with a daughter named Jonett [named after cousin’s wife]

  – Consistent naming conventions [Jenet ≈ Jane in Welsh/English records]

  – Her brother Miles appears to have joined her in Pendoylan shortly after, likely as part of the same family expansion effort; his daughter Margaret was baptized there in 1597.
