Note 1
!Stylename: Hotchkiss / Hodgkins, John, of Yatton [~1454->1498]
Note: This will for John Hotchkiss [transcribed as Hickes] doesn’t indicate it ever went through probate or that the person had yet died. This is eight years before his father’s death, so he wouldn’t have recieved any inheritances by the time of his death, but they would likely have gone to his sons. That all being true, he may well have settled in Yatton, Somerset and died there.
