Notes

Note 1

!Note: William Hodgkins appears to have been the principal heir for a specific portion of the estate of Richard Hotchkiss / Hodgkins of Antingham . A significant series of probate filings from 1519 onward suggests William was inheriting some of those holdings rather than being deceased himself at that point. The 1519 and 1538 probates may mark property transfer or legal affirmation, not his death—meaning he most likely wasn’t dead but was acting in an executor or heir role.
