Notes

Note 1

!Note: I am a little leary of this record of Henry and his son William and grandson Robert, as the only actual record I have found is findagrave, but it has no pictures. If the gravestones are there though this is evidence, so I have entered them in my tree if tentatively. There is really only one place where this Henry fits, if I assume the findagrave records are correct, and it makes Sir Thomas Hotchkiss / Hoskins [depending on where he was recorded] my 15G grandfather for a second time, via both my grandfather James Hotchkiss and my grandmother Alice Woolery Hotchkiss. He is the only one actually recorded as having children at that time and Henry fits right in. Parson Family genealogists feel they have evidence for this as well. However with the set of children we have found, Henry fits as his father’s son, working to establish his line from Shropshire to Beaminster.
