Note 1

!Notes: Rationale for Placement:

Name Reuse: William was named for his father, and in line with a strong multigenerational pattern:

Father: William Hotchkiss [b. ~1480]

Grandfather: Richard Hotchkiss [b. ~1436]

Great-grandfather: William Hotchkiss of Hawkeswood [b. 1405, d. 1471]

2x Great-grandfather: William Hotchkiss of Ludlow [dates estimated early 1400s]

Uncle Simon Hotchkiss [b. ~1470, d. 1525, North Walsham, Norfolk] was the only sibling of William Sr. with a documented Norfolk presence

Simon’s son William [b. ~1490, d. 1519] died early

His wife Cecily [d. 1523] followed soon after, and no heirs are known

Conclusion: William [b. ~1506 ] was likely named in remembrance of Simon’s lost son.

The probates listed appear to be a continuation of the long string of probates listing individual inheritors from his grandfather, which were still occuring, but these are likley some of the six properties inheritted by Wiliam’s [1506] father William [died 1532] making their way to William.

Died before 1554; not named in his mother’s will that year. All other evidence is obscured by the extended inheritance series stemming from Richard Hotchkiss’s estate.
