     The History of Sangamon County, gives his birth to Herman and Mary Hitchcock Hotchkin in Madison County, NY.

Otis is next found in the 1900 census of Nodaway Co., MO with a son D. Ernest but with Albert now absent from the family. Albert is now old enough that he may be on his own, but the 1900 census says that they only had one son and have one living: so this family is very confusing.⁶
