     Eli Hodgkin was born on 6 July 1782 at Norfolk, Litchfield County, CT, USA.^1,2 He was the son of Samuel Hodgkin and Jerusha Hubbard. Eli Hodgkin lived in 1806 at Waterville, Oneida County, NY, USA. According to newspaper articles, Eli moved to Waterville this year. He married Elizabeth (Betsey) Drury before 1807.
     Eli Hotchkin made school tax collector.³
Eli Hodgkin died on 26 November 1858 at Waterville, Oneida County, NY, at age 76. Obituary Waterville Times 4 December 1858, died at age 77..^4,5,6 He was buried at Waterville Cemetery, at Waterville, Oneida County, NY, USA.

     An attached newspaper article from the Waterville Times gives an interesting report on Eli and other early pioneers of Waterville.
The 1820 census of Adams, Jefferson Co., NY finds Eli with his wife, two sons and two daughters. At the 1830 census of Sangerfield, Oneida Co., NY he is with his wife, two daughters and one son, the oldest son is no longer with the family. The 1840 census finds him in Sangerfield, Oneida Co., NY. At the 1850 census of Watertown he is living with his son Benjamin F. Hotchkin, age 68, born in CT, next door to his other son, Josiah Bacon Hotchkin; but the 1850 Census of Sangerfield, Oneida Co., NY has Eli living with his son Mark, and gives his age as 64, and birth in MA.
     His gravestone in the Waterville Cemetery, which the Compiler has viewed, gives his birth on 6 July 1782 and his death on 26 November 1858. A document called Land Owner of Oneida County dated 1814 shows Eli Hotchkin in Sangerfield. The NY Assessment Rolls (OCHS 70MSS.1/SAN.3) show him in Sangerfield, NY in 1825, 1827, 1829, 1830, 1832, 1833, 1834, 1835, 1836, 1837, 1838, and 1839.
     The "Annals and Recollections of Oneida County," by Pomroy Jones, 1851 says that Eli Hotchkin (Hotchkiss) or Pardon Keyes kept a tavern, now the dwelling house of Dr E.A. Munger; at the corner of Main and Union; where Josiah Bacon, Reuben Bacon, Isaac Terry, and John Williams Esq. met to choose the name of Waterville, in about 1808. Josiah Bacon's name was given to one of Eli's sons and Eli and Reuben Bacon were witnesses to the Will of Joseph Eastman of Marshall, Oneida Co., NY, and dated 28 May 1835.
     Eli appears on the Oneida Co. Grantors list starting in 1809 when on 29 July Eli Hotchkin et al sold a property to Silvant Dyer, Liber 19, pg 238. On 12 December 1818 he and his wife Betsey sold to their son Benjamin Franklin, Liber 54 pg 239. Their son was referred to, as Franklin in this transaction and Franklin's address was Watertown, NY. On 2 November 1839, the records show a transfer to their son George W. Hotchkin, Liber 94, pg 143. Both parties had Waterville as an address.^5,7,8

     Louise Hodgkin was born circa 1768 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA. She was the daughter of Samuel Hodgkin and Jerusha Hubbard. Louise Hodgkin died in April 1777 at Norfolk, Litchfield County, CT, USA.¹

     Charles Henry Hochkin was born on 22 November 1809 at Richmond, Berkshire County, MA, USA.¹ He was the son of Elias Hochkin and Clarinda Gaston. Charles died before 1827 at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA. He is not listed with other grand children in grandfather Joseph's Will.. He was buried at Grove Street Cemetery, at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA. One stone in his parents cemetery plot looks as if it says Charles..

     Charles must have died prior to April 1827 as he is not listed with the rest of the grand children in Joseph Hochkin's Will. It is likely that he is buried with his parents as one stone looks as though the first name might be Charles. He is not listed on cemetery records, but there are 3 stones that do not appear on the records.

     Mary Ann Elizabeth Hochkin was born on 29 November 1811 at Richmond, Berkshire County, MA, USA.¹ She was the daughter of Elias Hochkin and Clarinda Gaston. Mary Ann Elizabeth Hochkin died after 1827 at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA. She was buried at New Haven, New Haven County, CT.²

     Mary Ann was alive and described as under 21 when her grandfather, Joseph Hochkin's Will was probated. Her name was spelled Hotchkin in this Will. We believe that she is buried in Grove St Cemetery with her parents as a gravestone has Mary -------- on it, with nothing but Mary readable. There are 3 gravestones that do not appear on the cemetery records.

     Amanda Charlotte Hochkin was born on 18 October 1813 at Richmond, Berkshire County, MA, USA.² She was the daughter of Elias Hochkin and Clarinda Gaston. Amanda Charlotte Hochkin married Jeduthan Thompson circa 1834 at New Haven County, CT, USA. Amanda Charlotte Hochkin appeared on the census of 1860 at Orange, New Haven County, CT, USA. The census lists the family as: Amanda Thompson, 47, born CT living with son Horace, 24, born CT.. She died on 24 January 1889 at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA, at age 75. She was buried at Grove Street Cemetery, at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA. Lot 8 Spruce St.³

     Amanda is buried in the Elias Hotchkin family plot with the name Amanda C. Hubbard, died Jan 24 1889, age 75. The only information on her marriage is the gravestone giving her name as Hubbard. Oliver did business with a Mahala E. Hubbard and a Russell Hubbard in New Haven.The 1880 census of New Haven, CT has Russell and his wife Mahala E. Hubbard.
     The 1850 census of East Haddam, Middlesex County, Ct has a Chapman Hubbard with a wife called Mandee and a son and dau Andrew J, and Frances A. The 1880 census of the same place has Andrew J. with a wife Elizabeth and a mother Amanda.

     Mariah (Maria) Hunt was born in 1794 at New Haven County, CT, USA. Her birth date is calculated from age 25 at death. She married Harvey Hodgkin at CT, USA, circa 1815. Mariah (Maria) Hunt died on 27 July 1819 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA. Died at age 25 according to Nut Plains Cemetery records..¹ She was buried at Nut Plains Cemetery, at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.²

     Maria's burial is shown in Cemetery Inscriptions, copied by A.H. Supennor, on 11 May 1934, as 27 July 1817; and NEHGR confirms this date. Talcott gives her age at death as 25 years.

     Almira Hunt was born in 1801 at CT, USA. She married Harvey Hodgkin at CT in May 1819. Almira Hunt died on 23 October 1828.

     Daniel Alonzo Hotchkin was born circa 1821 at CT, USA. He was the son of Harvey Hodgkin and Almira Hunt.

     Ruth M. Hotchkin was born on 10 October 1822 at CT, USA. She was the daughter of Harvey Hodgkin and Almira Hunt. She married Hiram H. Taintor at CT on 15 June 1845.^2,3 Ruth M. Hotchkin died on 31 August 1849 at New Haven County, CT, USA, at age 26. Died of ulcers according to the 1850 Mortality Tables.. She was buried at Grove Street Cemetery, at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA.

     Hiram H. Taintor was born in 1818 at CT, USA. The 1850 census indexer says born Cornwall but Compiler believes that the census says Conn. for Connecticut. He is age 28 at the 1850 census of New Haven, CT. He married Ruth M. Hotchkin at CT on 15 June 1845.^3,4 Hiram H. Taintor appeared on the census of 1850 at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA. The census lists the family as: Hiram H. Tainter, 28, born CT, jointer; Weltha, 55, born CT; John, 4, born CT; James, 1, born CT; the Mortality Tables has Wife of Hiram H. Tainter, died Aug of ulcer.. He died on 25 March 1894 at Grove Street Cemetery, New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA.⁵

     Elizabeth Kimberly was born on 10 October 1740 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.¹ She was the daughter of Abraham Kimberly and Mary Sherman. She married Noah Hodgkin II at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, on 28 March 1763.^2,3,4 Elizabeth Kimberly died on 8 January 1830 at age 89. She was buried at West Side Cemetery, at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.

     Noah Hodgkin III was born in 1769 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.² He was the son of Noah Hodgkin II and Elizabeth Kimberly. He married Merab Turner at Killingworth, Middlesex County, CT, USA, on 19 April 1792.³ Noah Hodgkin III appeared on the census of 1810 at Caledonia, Livingston County, NY, USA. The census lists the family as: Noah Ho-kins, 1 males under 10, 1 male 10 to 16, 2 males 26, 45, 3 females under 10, 1 female 10 to 16, 1 female 16 to 26, 1 female 26 to 45.. He died on 9 May 1851 at Caledonia, Livingston County, NY. Belcoda Baptist Church records give the death as 11 June 1851.. He was buried at Caledonia Rural Cemetery, at Caledonia, Livingston County, NY, USA. He is buried in Lot 140 of the Presbyterian Stone Church next to his wife and son Augustus..

     Noah is the only child of Noah II whose birth is not recorded either in the Barbour Collection or the Guilford Vital Records, and he is not the same Noah as Noah II and Mariah’s first child Noah, born in 1763. That Noah's birth and death is clearly stated in the GVR as occurring on the same day. Noah III can only be tied to the family by a land record; where Noah sells "My brother Seth" an acre and a half of land in Guilford, between their respective homesteads.      Noah III appears first in the 1810 census of Caledonia, Genesee Co., NY as Noah Ho-kins, with four male children and five female children. We don't find him at the 1820 census but find him again at the 1830 census of Caledonia with three male children and three female children.
     Baptismal records are found at the North Madison Church for Sally and Augustus but not for any other of the children. Noah was a member of the Stone Baptist Church in Caledonia during the early 1800’s; the membership lists also show William and Abraham Eli. Abram may refer to either Abram Sr. or Abram Jr; William is possibly Augustus's son William A.
     Noah prepared a Will, dated 28 November 1850 and recorded 8 May 1845 in which he gives all of his possessions to his son Augustus for his kind care during Noah's lifetime. He lists a property in Caledonia, which he says has been recently occupied by him as a dwelling and grocery store. He asks that from the proceeds of his properties a monument be placed on the grave of himself and his wife Merab, Augustus' mother. No other heirs are mentioned in the Will as receiving property but a legal advertisement in the Albany, NY Argus, March 1854 identifies some of his descendants. "The people of the State of New York by the grace of God to Sally Jones, County of Crawford, PA; Daniel B. Hotchkin of Crawford, PA; Anna Jones, County of Jackson, MI; Elizabeth Cory, Wayne County, MI; Job Kennison and Alansing Kennison, place of residence unknown; Abram E. Hotchkin, town of Newfane, Niagara County, NY; James H. Hotchkin, town of Wilson, Niagara County, NY; George W. Hotchkin, special guardian for James Kennison and Mary Taggart, who were under 21 years of age; Hannah Delaney, late of the state of Michigan, believed to be deceased but have no way of knowing". Another document with the Will refers to Hannah Delaney, believed to be deceased, late of the state of Michigan, and not known whether she left children. This second document says that Mary Taggart was from Caledonia. This Mary Taggart, a minor must be a daughter of another female member of Noah's family that we don't have identified.
     The mention of Abram E. Hotchkin and James H. Hotchkin, the sons of Abram Eli Hotchkin Sr., is the only known evidence that Abram Eli Sr is a son of Noah III. At the 1850 census of Caledonia, Noah is shown as living with William and Elizabeth Sullivan, age 81 and also with his son Augustus, age 80.
     Noah and his wife Merab are buried in the Union Presbyterian Church Cemetery, 3177 Church St, Caledonia (Stone Church), Lot 140 (far west corner of the cemetery). The compiler has visited this cemetery and there are no markers on this grave; however, Mrs. Rives, the neighbor next to the cemetery, has a plot layout, which lists this group of graves as Hochkis. Augustus and his wife Adeline Nelson are believed to be buried in adjacent Lot 141, which was owned by the Clark-Nelson families, and Adeline's name is inscribed on a stone in this plot. Ella McGinnis did an early cemetery listing of this cemetery and she lists Augustus Kotchkin, Constable 1833. There are no markers on the grave as provided for in Noah's Will.
     In David Leathersick's written memories of Caledonia, Old Days In Caledonia, 1906, he writes that Noah Hotchkin and his sons were a well known family around Caledonia. Noah owned and operated "Noah's Ark," a restaurant located on Main Street. He had a peg leg made of an old time socket and a round stick strapped to his thigh.⁴

     Elizabeth Hodgkin was born on 16 December 1765 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.² She was the daughter of Noah Hodgkin II and Elizabeth Kimberly. She married Phineas Meigs at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, on 26 October 1787.^3,4 Elizabeth Hodgkin died on 22 August 1829 at Van Buren, Onondaga County, NY, USA, at age 63. She was buried at Sears Cemetery, at Baldwinsville, Onondaga County, NY, USA. Listed as Elizabeth Hitchcock..

     There is strong evidence that Elizabeth was married to Phineas Meigs; however, the "Descendants of Vincent Meigs," gives his marriage to Susanna Winslow of Hardwicke.⁵

     Hannah Hodgkin was born on 25 February 1768 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.¹ She was the daughter of Noah Hodgkin II and Elizabeth Kimberly. Hannah Hodgkin died on 27 October 1769 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, at age 1.

     Hannah is listed in Talcott, NEHGH, Vol 58, and the Barbour Collection. LDS International Gen. Index, 7450338, #002924 gives birth month as Febuary.

     George M. Hodgkin was born on 4 September 1772 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA. Age 76 at the 1850 census.¹ He was the son of Noah Hodgkin II and Elizabeth Kimberly. He married Sarah Unknown at CT, USA, circa 1796. George M. Hodgkin appeared on the census of 1830 at Lebanon, Madison County, NY, USA. The census lists the family as: George Hodgkins, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 20-30, 1 male 30-40, 1 male 50-60, 1 female 20-30, 1 female 50-60.. He married Mary (Polly) Anderson at NY, USA, after 1836. George M. Hodgkin died on 1 October 1862 at Lebanon, Madison County, NY, at age 90. Campbell Burying Grounds records give a death date of 1 April 1861 at age 89 years, 6months.² He was buried at Campbell Burying Grounds, at Lebanon, Madison County, NY, USA. George and Sarah are buried at the extreme east end of the cemetery..

     George is described in Talcott, NEHGH and the Barbour Collection as Indexed in LDS International Genealogical Index. The Barbour Collection lists his birth as Sept 4 1772. George is living in Amenia, NY near his father at the 1800 and 1820 census. The obituary of his grandson Albert L. Hotchkin Sr. of Troy, calls him George M. Hotchkin, a native of Madison Co., NY.
     The Grantee Lists of Madison Co., NY show a sale of 54 acres, by George M. Hotchkin and Sally, his wife, on 10 October 1843 to Ben C. Bristol, BA-212. The Tuttle records give his death as 1 April 1861; however, a probate document on file in Madison County, NY, dated 25 October 1862, show Heman consenting to his fathers Will and gives a death date of 1 October 1862.^3,4,5

     Seth Hodgkin Dea. was born on 1 May 1776 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.¹ He was the son of Noah Hodgkin II and Elizabeth Kimberly. He married Stata (Stella) Hale at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, before 1804.^2,3 Seth Hodgkin Dea. appeared on the census of 1810 at Wallingford, New Haven County, CT, USA. The census lists the family as: Hotchkin, Seth, 1 male under 10, 1 male 26 to 44; 3 females under 10, 1 female 26 to 44.. He married Abigail Hubbell at Bangall, Dutchess County, NY, USA, on 11 April 1821. They were married by Rev Luman Birch.. Seth Hodgkin Dea. died on 11 February 1848 at Liberty, Sullivan County, NY, USA, at age 71.⁴

     The 1810 Census shows him in Wallington, New Haven Co., CT with one male child and three female children. Seth purchased land from Joshua Francis in 1803 and 1805. According to Audrey Carver, the following parcels of land were also purchased by Seth: 1806, Seth Hotchkin of Guilford bought 65 acres in North Bristol, CT. 1810, Seth sold 5 acres in North Bristol to Nodiah Norton. In 1817, Seth sold 22 acres in Guilford to Darius Coe; 1819, Thomas Norton got a Sheriff's judgment on Seth for a debt and Seth sold the North Bristol land to pay the debt. The 1820 census of Duchess Co., NY finds his family living next door to his brother Noah, with all of Seth's children living at home. Shortly after the marriage, the family moved to Liberty, Sullivan Co., NY and the 1830 census gives the family as Seth Hotchkiss, his wife, one male child and two female children. His son Francis is also found in Liberty at this census. The 1840 census of Liberty has Seth Hotchkins with his wife age 60 to 70, one female child and another female, age 60 to 70.
     Audrey Carver furnished to Geoffrey Brown, for his Hotchkin book, bible records, with an obituary attached that gave Seth's death date as 11 February 1848. This obituary said that his age was 72 and that he was a Deacon of the Old School Baptist Church for many years. Seth's children are identified by the Wills of three individuals: William Mead Hotchkin's Will dated 13 January 1900; Zebulon Hotchkin's Will, Book 10, pg 394, Sullivan Co. Surrogate Records dated 16 May, 1888 in Patterson, NJ and executed 2 February 1891; and the Will of J. Francis Hotchkin, son of Zebulon, Sullivan Co. Surrogate Records, dated 23 May 1887.

     Harry (Harvey) Hodgkin was born on 18 February 1779 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.³ He was the son of Noah Hodgkin II and Elizabeth Kimberly. He married Harry-wife Unknown. Harry (Harvey) Hodgkin appeared on the census of 1830 at Kirkland, Oneida County, NY, USA. The census lists the family as: Hotchkin, Harry, 1 male 15 to 20, 1 male 50 to 60, 1 female 10 to 15, 1 female 15 to 20, 1 female 20 to 30, 1 female 40 to 50.. He resided at Kirkland, Oneida County, NY, in 1830. He died in 1869 at NY, USA. Family search genealogies.

     Little is known of Harry, but it is presumed that this is the Harry Hotchkin that is listed in Kirkland, Oneida Co., NY at the 1830 census. This census gives him a wife, age 40 to 50; three daughters, 1 age 10 to 15, 1 age 15 to 20, and 1 age 20 to 30; and one son, age 15 to 20. It is also very possible that Harry is (Henry) whose wife Sarah is buried in Lebanon with brother George and his family. Sarah died 3 April 1851 at age 75 which would place her close to the age of Harry's wife at the 1830 census.

     Phineas Meigs was born in 1758 at CT, USA.^2,3 He was a Private, andserved in Maj Eli Leavenworth Comapany, Col Return Meigs 6th CT Regt of the CT Line, during the Revolutionary War. He married Elizabeth Hodgkin at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA, on 26 October 1787.^4,5 Phineas Meigs lived in 1820 at Pompey, Onondaga County, NY, USA. He died on 1 May 1835 at Van Buren, Onondaga County, NY, USA.⁶ He was buried at Sears Cemetery, at Baldwinsville, Onondaga County, NY, USA.⁶

     Stata (Stella) Hale was born on 18 July 1777 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.^2,1 She was the daughter of Zebulon Hale and Rachel Bishop. She married Seth Hodgkin Dea. at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, before 1804.^3,1 Stata (Stella) Hale died in 1821 at Liberty, Sullivan County, NY, USA.⁴

     Stata is described in Hale House and Related Families, and in NEHGR. Cone in the Bishop Genealogy, gives her name as Statira. Her name has also been given as Stella. She was born in Guilford and baptized at the North Madison Church or formerly the Bristol Church. Her marriage to Seth is dated in 1800 based on her fathers practice of giving money to his children when they were married; this practice described in his Will. Stata's death date is not known but it would be 1817 to 1821 based on the birth of her last child and Seth's second marriage to Abigail Hubbell.^5,6

     Merab Turner was born on 3 November 1769 at Killingworth, Middlesex County, CT, USA. She was the daughter of Abraham Turner and Hannah Smith. She married Noah Hodgkin III at Killingworth, Middlesex County, CT, on 19 April 1792.¹ Merab Turner died on 1 October 1843 at Caledonia, Livingston County, NY, USA, at age 73. Death listed in the records of the Belcoda Baptist Church, Wheatland, NY.. Her body was interred at Caledonia, Livingston County, NY, USA, at Caledonia Rural Cemetery. The lady next door has the cemetery records..

     Church records indicate that Merab was the daughter of Abraham & Hannah Turner,born in Killingsworth, CT. Her death date is noted in the records of the Baptist Church in Caledonia, NY but these are typed records and not the originals. Merab's marriage to Noah Hotchkin III at the First Congregational Church of Killingsworth is described in church records and listed in Early Connecticut Marriages, edited by Frederic Bailey, 1968.²

     Augustus Hotchkin was born in November 1798 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA. He was the son of Noah Hodgkin III and Merab Turner. He married Adaline Nelson at NY, USA, circa 1824. Augustus Hotchkin appeared on the census of 1830 at Caledonia, Livingston County, NY, USA. The census lists the family as: Augustus Hotchkin, 1 male 5 to 10, 1 male 20 to 30, 1 male 30 to 40; 1 female 15 to 20, 1 female 20 to 30.. He married Anna Hudson at NY in 1851. Augustus Hotchkin lived in 1869 at Brighton, Monroe County, NY, USA. Listed as a farmer farming 153 acres belonging to Mrs Mary Combs. Augustus died on 6 September 1879 at Greece, Monroe County, NY, USA, at age 80. Newspapers in Greece, NY and Caledonia, NY reported his death.. He was buried at Caledonia Rural Cemetery, at Caledonia, Livingston County, NY, USA. He is buried in Lot 140 of the Presbyterian Church, next to his mother, Merab and father Noah..

     


     David Leathersich, in his written memories of Caledonia, writes "Augustus Hotchkin, the son of Noah and Merab, a pioneer resident of Caledonia, kept the McDonald Hotel on the south side of West Main Street in the early 1830's until it burned in 1837. He and his son George, managed the Stone Hotel circa 1844-1855; also a public house in 1858, later known as the Moss House and now the Village Inn. His home was where the Town Building now stands on Main Street. The town officials met there in 1839 when Augustus was tax collector and constable. He also owned the farm opposite the Mumford Cemetery."
     The 1855 NY State Census gives additional information on the family, saying that Augustus came to Caledonia 40 years ago (1815) and that Ann or Anna came 10 years ago or 1845. This census report also says that all children were born in Livingston Co.
     Augustus lived in Caledonia for 50 years before moving to Greece, Monroe Co., NY to be near his son George, where he died. His funeral was held at the First Presbyterian Church of Caledonia where he had been a member along with others in his family. Town records say that he was 80 years and 7 months old at his death. His obituary appeared in the Rochester Union Advertiser on 8 September 1879, saying: "He was born 81 years ago in CT and came to NY 73 years ago and lived 50 years in Caledonia before moving to Greece, NY. He is being buried in Caledonia near his father and mother, Noah III and Merab Turner; and his first wife Adeline Nelson."
     The Livingston Co. real estate Grantee indexes have 18 entries involving Augustus; the first in 1831 between Augustus and Abigail Nelson and in 1854 between his son George N., George's wife Elizabeth, and Augustus. In 1841 there is a transfer; Augustus and wife Adeline to Wm Nelson and in 1854 Augustus and his second wife Anna to Wm Sullivan. In 1872 there was a transaction from Augustus and his daughter Adeline to a Mary B. Blakeslee.

     Betsey Hotchkin was born circa 1800 at CT, USA. She was the daughter of Noah Hodgkin III and Merab Turner. She married John S. Kinnison at NY, USA, circa 1825. Betsey Hotchkin died before March 1854 at Jackson County, MI, USA.

     Betsy was dead at the time of her fathers Will Probate as her children were mentioned in the announcement of this probate but neither she or her husband were mentioned. She and her husband Kennison are listed in Talcott. According to The descendants of Robert Isbell, by Edna Warren Mason, says a Betsey Hotchkin married Richard Barnard had a daughter Mary Eno Barnard, born April 7 1856 in Constantine, St Joseph County, MI and died in White Pigeon, St Joseph County, MI on July 7 1933. Mary married Edward Augustus Hamilton in Constantine on May 11 1881. He was born in Centerville, MI on 22 May 1850; died in White Pigeon on August 28 1934. He was the son of John S. and Sarah May (Isbell) Hamilton.In checking on the Barnards they are 30 years younger and born in England.
It is likely that this is not Hotchkin, but Hotchin as Betsey Hotchin is buried in Constantine Twp Cemetery. Her birt date is not given but death date is show as March 23 1886. This is well after the Noah Hotchkin Will was published in Mar 1854 and Betsey Hotchkin was dead at that time.

     Anna Hotchkin was born in 1799 at CT, USA. She was the daughter of Noah Hodgkin III and Merab Turner. She married Lyman L. Jones Sr. at NY, USA, circa 1824. She resided at Spring Arbor, Jackson County, MI, USA, in 1850. Anna Hotchkin died on 29 April 1875 at Spring Arbor, Jackson County, MI. Both appear in the 1870 census but not the 1880. death date on tombstone not readable but it says died at 70 years, 6 mo and 12 days.. She was buried at Spring Arbor Cemetery, at Spring Arbor, Jackson County, MI, USA. Death date not readable but stone says died at age 70 yr, 7 mo and 12 days, wife of L. L. Jones..

     Anna's birth and marriage is described in Talcott. At the 1850 Census of Spring Arbor, MI Anna and her husband are found living close to Abram Eli Hotchkin.

     Sally Hotchkin was born on 13 November 1796 at Madison, New Haven County, CT, USA. She was the daughter of Noah Hodgkin III and Merab Turner. She married Orrin D. Jones at Caledonia, Livingston County, NY, USA, circa 1830. Sally Hotchkin appeared on the census of 1850 at Athens, Crawford County, PA, USA. The census lists the family as: Sally Jones, age 54, farmer, b CT; son Augustus H., age 18, b CT; son George O., age 15, b CT; dau Catherine L or J., age 8, b PA. pg 222, Line 15. She resided at Athens, Crawford County, PA, in 1850. She died before 1860 at Crawford County, PA, USA. Not with her boys at the 1860 census..

     Both Talcott and NEHGH describe Sally, and Talcott gives her marriage to Orin Jones. The 1850 census of Athens, PA gives a birth date of 1796 and church records show that she was baptized at the North Madison Congregational Church on 13 November 1796. At the 1850 census of Athens, PA she is listed as a farmer with her children Augustus, George and Catherine living with her. There is no husband or father in the family at this date. According to this census Augustus and George were born in Connecticut and Catherine in Pennsylvania. The Connecticut births are likely wrong as Caledonia, NY church records show her husband Orrin. Using the birth dates, her move to Pennsylvania would have been between 1835 and 1842.
     Both Sally Jones and Orin D. Jones are listed as members in records of the Belcoda Baptist Church where her parents were also members.

     Harvey Hotchkin was born in 1793 at CT, USA. He was the son of Noah Hodgkin III and Merab Turner. Harvey Hotchkin married Alathia Unknown circa 1817 at NY, USA. Harvey Hotchkin died circa 1854 at MI, USA. He appeared on the census of 1860 at Portage, Columbia County, WI, USA. The census lists the family as: Harvey Hotchkin, 66, 1793, CT; Alethia, 70, 1789, NY. There is no real proof that this is the correct Harvey. The census index claims that they read age 60 not 66..

     Information on this family is found in the 1860 census of Portage, WI and is very uncertain. H. M. Hotchkin is tied as a son only because he lives nearby.
