Note 1

!Stylename: Hotchkiss, John, Jr [~1504-1586]

!Note: Triple 1539 Muster Appearances – Compton Bassett, Great Somerford & North Bradley

John Hotchkiss appears three times in the 1539 North Wiltshire Musters as an archer: listed for the Tithing of Compton Bassett in the Hundred of Calne, the Tithing of Sumerforde Magna in the Hundred of Malmesbury, and again for the Tithing of North Bradley in the Hundred of Whorweldown. This likely reflects overlapping landholdings, service obligations, or residual feudal ties spanning multiple jurisdictions.
