This is Frank Edward, son of Eber Hall Hotchkin and Celia. Eber died in 1865 at the Confederate prison in Florence, SC so Lloyd can not be his son.

Adams in 1896 through 1899; while in 1904 and 1905 he was living at 939 Warner and then 117 Howett.
     The Decatur Daily Review says that the federal grand jury has indicted Lloyd for throwing a railroad switch in front of a passenger train. The District Attorney Milcrist says that the list will likely increase upon the filing of the final report of the grand jury, but Lloyd Hotchkin is the man that the Illinois Central people were positive threw a switch in front of a passenger train on June 20 with the intent of wrecking it. Compiler comment, it looks, as there was a great deal of labor unrest at this time with the railroad.¹

     The assignment of George and Sarah as parents is based on there living next door at the 1850 Census and Heman naming his first son, George. They are also buried together in the Campbell burying Grounds, Lebanon, Madison Co., NY; further confirming the relationship.
     The Madison County real estate records have a number of transactions by Heman: 20 July 1861, Heman and wife sell to Jaliez Billings, CT 369, Heman and Mary H., his wife, of Lebanon; 15 May 1865, Heman and wife to Mason A.

Stones for the children's mother Mary Hitchcock and children Beriah, Mary, Servilia are in a pile against a nearby bush. The Compiler and his wife Cathy had to carefully move each stone to read the inscription. No stone was found for Joseph.

Heman is buried in the Cleon Twp Cemetery, Manistee Co., MI where he moved after the death of his 3rd wife and most of his children. We know that Hemam lived in Niagara Co., NY for a while as he is there at the 1870 census. Living with him are his children Otis, Marcia, Ruth, Hattie, and Jay. There is also a 59-year-old female, Emeline, born in NY. Emeline is not indicated as a wife; however, her Will indicates that they were married. The 1869 Directory of Niagara Co. show Heman in Pekin, Cambria, a farmer with 48 1/2 acres on Lot 28, T 14, R.S. At the 1880 census of Lewiston Twp., Niagara Co., he is married to Maria, age 59, born in NY, and both parents born in CT. Living with them is son Jay H. and daughter Marcia. According to the Lockport Daily Journal, the marriage to Marie occurred on 18 December 1875. She was called Mrs. Marie Beebe, so Beebe is not her maiden name.
