As reported in the narrative, Robert married (2) the widow Katherine Leese, thus Katherine (_____) Leese.

From Elizabeth French, "Hinckley Entries in the Parish Registers and Bishop's Transcripts of Harrietsham, 1538-1638," in "Genealogical Research in England," New England Historical and Genealogical Register 65 (1911):315 - 317; digital images, Hathi Trust. From the transcribe English records from Harrietsham,

Elizabeth wife of Robert Hincklie buried 2 November [1574]
Robert Hincklie and Katherina Leese, widow, married 10 February [1574-5].

As Kenneth suggested in 2018, Katherine's LNAB should be changed to Unknown.

The maiden name of Katherine Leese (widow) is probably unknown. Leese would have been the surname of her first husband.

Therefore, I would suggest changing her last name at birth to Unknown.
