Note 1
!Note: Triple 1539 Muster Appearances – Wanborough, Dauntsey & Charlton
William Hotchkiss appears three times in the 1539 North Wiltshire Musters under variant surnames: once in Wanborough as a supplier of bills , again in Dauntsey listed as an archer, and a third time in Charlton as a billman. This broad military presence strongly suggests extensive local holdings or feudal obligations, consistent with a gentry family of influence. The appearance under variant spellings further emphasizes the clerical inconsistency typical of this period, especially in Wiltshire.
!Source: His brother Richard was also recorded in Gloucester at the time at the time of William’s mariage to Ann.
