Note 1
!Note: Hugh Griffin was likely a traveling merchant or tradesman. He married Elizabeth in Pontesbury in early 1539 but likely widowed her within a year when he died at Westminster in 1540 — a death consistent with sudden illness, accident, or merchant-related travel mishap. It is inferred that the Hugh Griffin of the Westminster burial is the same man, based on timing, the absence of other plausible candidates, and common patterns of movement among traders in the period.
