No one know his death date as he went missing in December 1883 based on a newspaper article in a January 6 1884 New York Times..⁴

     William is listed in the Watertown City Directory, in 185960 as a student of languages, living with his widowed mother, Mrs. K. Hotchkin, at 10 Clay St. He and his wife, Julia Pratt Cooke are mentioned in the Benjamin Cleveland Family Genealogy. This book confirms their marriage date of 22 Apr 1861. William’s complete name and his marriage to Julia Pratt Cooke is also listed in their son’s marriage license to Mabel Lord Hall. William was a Lt. and QM in the 8th NY National Guard, Washington Greys, for 3 months. At the first Bull Run battle he had charge of the brigades’ baggage and in the records he claims to have brought it all back without loss. He was commissioned between 25 Apr 1861 and 24 May 1861 and was discharged on 2 Aug 1861.

According to the Rochester Union Advertiser, he was admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court.
     Julia’s Widows Pension Application contains a most interesting story about William’s death. She says that she does not know when, where or under what circumstances her husband died. She and William were living together in Watertown in June 1883 with their three children, William, Walter and Caro, when her son William died very suddenly. As a result, she suffered a severe attack of illness and went to NYC with her daughter and son Walter to visit her parents and recuperate. In the early part of November 1883 her husband left Watertown to visit her in NYC and never arrived. She found that his railroad ticket had been taken up on the train but no other information could be found. They visited all the hospitals, notified the police and advertised in the newspapers but never heard a word, and until this date, 29 years later, they had heard nothing. Malona S. Hotchkin, William’s half sister, in her statement said that he was living with her then and he had been in poor health for a year or more. She says that he left the house to get some medicine and never returned. She subsequently heard from the husband of her niece, Carrie A. Moffett that he had seen William on the train at Richland, NY, a rail station between Watertown and New York City. A William Allen, who was distantly related to William by marriage, claims to have seen him on the train at Camden, NY. “He was wild and haggard in appearance and muttered incoherently,” said William. Julia believed that her husband, William was planning on the trip to New York to collect $850.00 owed him by Scott & Co of 721 Broadway, and an attorney by the name of William Roseblautt. This is likely the same Scott that Charles G. Hotchkin was asking for money, from St. Louis, MO, and it is believed that these were estate funds. The family also filed documents in the Surrogate Court, dated 28 May 1884 petitioning for the settlement of his estate, saying that he disappeared on 7 Nov 1883. The petition says that for a long time previously, he had been in feeble condition and taking morphine and chloral in large quantities for pain. It was claimed that he left the home of his mother, Kezia, with his night shirt under his coat, saying that he was going to a physicians house on the corner for medicine.
     According to several newspaper articles, William excelled at the game of Chess.^5,6,7

Hotchkin on 22 August 1861 and that they were married by the Rev William J. Frost, Church of the Redeemer in the home of her parents on East 81st Street, NYC. Information on Julia's death comes from a sworn statement made by her sister, Frances M. Cooke asking for Reimbursement by the Civil War Pension Board. Francis said that she was a maiden sister and her age was 69 at that time, 22 August 1912. Frances M. and Julia lived together at 965 E. Main St, Stanford, CT.

Edward Horace Cleveland at Christ Church in the borough of Manhattan on 15 Apr 1903. She was the daughter of Henry Bryan Hall and Emma Ida Lord and had not been previously married. It is possible that Walter’s first wife Mary C. Fay died by suicide as her death certificate says death by “poisoning by CO.” She was found dead at her home, 205 W. 142nd St., NYC on 26 September 1902. Walter’s death certificate says that he was in the restaurant business at the time of his death. He died at Presbyterian Hospital on 6 Jun 1916 at 8:00 pm of liver problems and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, VA. He was member #1817, of The Sons of the Revolution, admitted in 1895. His membership was based on the Revolutionary War service of his greatgreat grandfather, Private James Pratt, 17531820, who served in Captain Charles Whitings Co., Col. S. B. Webb’s Regt. He also listed his other greatgreat grandfather, Joseph Cooke, 17351821 who was a member of the Connecticut Assembly 17791780. These references are given in the Year Book of the Sons of the Revolution of NY.
     Walter was mustered into the US Army as a Major on 9 May 1898 and served in the 22nd NY Infantry. He was mustered out of the service on 23 November 1898.

Walter’s military service records describe him as 5 feet, 7 1/2 inches tall, fair complexion, with blue eyes and brown hair. He said that he was a stock broker.
     Walter B. and his partner, Joseph H. Stoppani, were New York City stock brokers and members of the Stock Exchange. In early 1914 they were arrested on a charge of grand larceny over missing stock valued at $300,000. They filed bankruptcy and were expelled from the Exchange. Their problems were discussed often in the New York Times during the years 1914 to 1916 but fell out of the news without any final disposition of the case being reported. It is likely that his death ended the investigation. Walter and his partner Stoppani also had offices in Syracuse, NY, as they appear in the Syracuse City Directories of 1905 through 1909. In 1905 their offices were at 210 Montgomery St and later at 4 Larned Bldg. These directories say that his home was in NYC.
     At the 1920 census, Mabel is living in Suffolk Co., NY with her father Harry B. Hall and her sister Florence Warner and Florence’s daughter Helen. This location must be the farm referred to in Mabel's Pension Application.^3,8
