Note 1
!Note: Earlier assumptions identified Sir John’s wife as Maude, based on the attribution of a 1575 remarriage in Wantage to William Simons and a 1591 burial in Shawbury. These events have since been reassigned to her granddaughter, Malde Hotchkiss , daughter of Leonard, whose age and life circumstances better fit the records. The original wife of Sir John remains unnamed, but is presumed to have died from complications of childbirth.
!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.
