Note 1
!Note: Despite several probate entries dated 1529–1532—filed in Norfolk , Northamptonshire , and elsewhere—there is no firm indication that Robert Hotchkiss / Hodgkins died during this timeframe. These records appear to reflect ongoing legal inheritance [not administration] of parts of his grandfather Richard of Antingham’s estate [d. 1523]. He was likely inheriting property across multiple counties, including assets in Aylsham, Streatham, East Horsley, and Broughton. As of 1532, Robert is presumed to be still living. This includes a 1532 probate reference in Hanbury, Staffordshire, further indicating that Robert remained active in legal or financial matters tied to his family's expanding footprint.
