Note 1
!Notes: Apparently died shortly after childbirth while traveling the Shropshire to London trade corridor. Burial occurred in Worcester, one of the Hotchkiss family’s established waystations, suggesting she died while passing nearby or while sheltering with kin. Associated family: Hawkesworth / Hotchkiss merchant network, Worcester waypoint.
!Note: 1539–1542 in England - Context:
This period saw major disruption from the Dissolution of the Monasteries, which shuttered not just religious houses but also church-run hospitals, schools, and poor relief. The fallout from the Pilgrimage of Grace led to executions and heightened tension in the north. Combined with land seizures, Cromwell’s fall, royal instability, and sporadic disease outbreaks, the result was widespread displacement, hardship, and family fragmentation. These conditions likely explain the high rate of early deaths, remarriages, and child relocations during this time.
