     The files at the Three Valley Museum, Durant, OK contain a biography, dated March 1952 and believed to be written by his grand daughter, Dorothy Brose Garlington, gives a great deal of information on Rev Charles and his family. This biographer says that, "Charles Eugene Hotchkin was born 14 January 1846 near the Red River, at Goodwater, Indian Territory, twenty miles northwest of Paris, TX and twelve miles southeast of Soper, OK. His birth was premature and he never became a strong or healthy man. He grew up with the Indian children in the Koonsha Female Academy and learned the Choctaw language as a child, and became one of the best interpreters of that language in the nation. Charles finished his education in Ohio and then returned to the Choctaw Mission and began teaching in the Mission schools. It was at the Mission School that he met Eleanor Copeland, daughter of the Rev C.C. Copeland, Superintendent of Wheelock Female Academy."
     After their marriage, Charles and Eleanor made their home, for several years, on a farm with his brother Henry at Livingland. Seeking to have a home for themselves, they cleared a spot of land, four miles southeast of Caddo, in the Caddo Hills and moved there in September 1872. Seven miles south of Caddo they organized a church called Nunnik Takali. As he worked with the Indians at this church, Charles realized that he could be of greater service to them and his Lord if he entered the ministry, so on 9 June 1884 he was ordained to the full ministry of the Gospel in the Presbyterian Church. Charles really loved the Choctaws and preferred to speak their language to his own. He served the tribe for many years as a mission teacher.
     His son, Charles F. Hotchkin is quoted in, "Presbyterian Missions in the Southern United States," as saying, "I heard my mother say, she would cook corn bread on Monday morning for my father and he would leave with others on ministerial tours and live on that bread for two weeks at a time." The Chronicles of Oklahoma, says that Ebenezer saw that his sons got a good education and took them to some of the best academies in the North.

One line in the document refers to ...Charles E. Hotchkin being the husband of the Vendor (Douglas Hotchkin); another line says....all my right of homestead and right of dower. There is also a Deed transfer from Douglas to Mary P. Hotchkin, Vol 14, pg 253, 8 August 1903.
