Hicks family starting with 1575

The first known or recorded “Hicks” in the Luxulyan (now Luxulian) area was

One Henry Hicks whose name appears in the year 1594. He was married in 1600 and their first child,

Constance was born in 1602/3.
I have arbitrarily taken 1575 as his birth year, which would make him age 25 when he was married. At this time, his wife's' name is not known, and, for several generations, the wives family name is not recorded.
