- That this Jane was married to a John Adams (after John Holdich died) from the Court of Chancery case regarding her uncle William Wotton's will (C 6/324/47). This also describes him as 'Clarke' making it clear it was the Vicar and not the Yeoman with the name that she was married to, as does the PR entry.
