     Abraham started spelling his surname as Hochkin, droping the T and a long line of his decendances used this spelling.

Guilford Town Hall records show that Mary Beers sold Abraham Hodgkins a parcel of land of approximately 3/4 of an acre, for the sum of six pounds, five shillings; the deed dated 17 July 1729. Abraham Hodgkin appears on a list of Freemen, dated 13 April 1747.

     Abraham Hodgkin was born on 16 July 1779 at Norfolk, Litchfield County, CT, USA. Cemetery records give a year of 1779. Connecticut Birth Records say 1778.^2,3,4 He was the son of Samuel Hodgkin and Jerusha Hubbard.

     Abraham's birth is listed in Norfolk, Litchfield Co., CT records as son of Samuel and Jerusha and the twin of Hannah. The 1810 and 1820 census of Broome Co. NY finds him with a wife and two children, and the 1820 census gives the location as Berkshire, Broome Co; while the 1830 census finds him in Newark Valley, Tioga Co., NY.
     W.B. Gay in his Historical Gazetteer of Tioga County, NY says that Abraham was born in Guilford, CT on 16 July 1779 and died on 28 February 1842 in Newark Valley, NY, and lived in a log house on the West side of the road opposite the site of the brick house since built by Col John B. Royce. He had already sold the land to Col Royce but continued for several years to dwell there. Gay also says that at a Newark Valley town meeting in 1825, Abraham was elected one of 6 fence viewers. The purchase of this land is recorded in the Broome Co., records as Book 4, pg 224 and Book 5, pg 120. Both of these records say that the property was located in Berkshire, which at that date was a part of Broome Co. and later became Tioga Co.
     Abraham, his wife Partenia, son Marshall, Marshall's three wives and daughter Juliatte are all buried in the Hope Cemetery in the village of Newark Valley. The Compiler and his wife Cathy were on their 1993 summer tour of New York state gathering data in Tioga County when they saw a sign along Route 38, Newark Valley announcing the historic Bement Homestead.

     Ambrose Hodgkin was born on 16 February 1762 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA. This date is confirmed by Ambrose Revolutionary War Pension file.^3,4 He was the son of Thomas Hodgkins and Elizabeth Parmelee. Ambrose Hodgkin was a Private, andserved in Capt Dan Collins, Guilford Guards, during the Revolutionary War. He served 9 months starting April 1 1779 and again from April 1 1780 to January 1 1781 on a guard appointed by the selectmen of Guilford for the defense of that town and the Long Island Sound. In his pension application he speaks of the enemy landing at Sachems Head and burring the house and barn of Solomon Leet and killing Solomon and Ambrose Leet. He married Sarah E. Barnard at CT, USA, circa 1789.⁵ Ambrose Hodgkin appeared on the census of 1800 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT. The census lists the family as: Ambrose Hotchkin, 1 male 26 to 44; 5 females under 10, 1 females 10 thru 15, 1 female 26 thru 44.. He died on 10 April 1841 at Windsor, Hartford County, CT, USA, at age 79. Transcripts give location as Simsbury.Grave stone says died March 10th..^3,6 He was buried at Grove Cemetery, at Windsor Locks, Hartford County, CT, USA. Gravestone says died 10 March 1841 at age 80 yrs..

     Ambrose legally changed his name to Hotchkiss in 1812 according to information from his grandson Charles Erling Hotchkiss, published in NEHGR, and a 1972 letter from Catherine McHenry Rogers to the Hotchkiss Family Association.
     In his Revolutionary War Pension appication he gives his birth and that he had lived in Guilford until 1812 when he moved to Simsbury, CT.On an revision of his pension application in 1834 he was a resident of Middletown and in a 1839 revision he was a resident of Simsbury.

     Anna (Ame) Hodgkin was born on 8 April 1741 at Killingworth, Middlesex County, CT, USA.^3,4 She was the daughter of Janna (Johannes) Hodgkin and Sarah Edwards. Anna (Ame) Hodgkin died in 1742.

     Her birth is listed in Talcott, NEHGH Vol 58 and the Barbour Collection. The LDS International Genealogical Index refers to her by a first name of Ame. Barbour gives a name of Ame with baptism on 12 April 1741, Vol 2, pg 27. Ame may have married as the Killingworth First Congregation Church records, Vol 2, pg 39 has a reference, "Rosina, daughter of Ame, baptism 11 August 1765".

     Ebenezer Hodgkin was born at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA, on 20 June 1722.³ He was the son of Joseph Hodgkin and Elizabeth Hill. He married Jerusha Johnson at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, on 15 November 1744.^4,5 Ebenezer Hodgkin died on 24 July 1794 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, at age 72.⁶ He was buried at Nut Plains Cemetery, at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.⁷

     Some compilers including this one have confused Ebenezer Hotchkiss, son of Samuel Hotckiss and Elizabeth Cleverly and Ebenezer Hotchkin. It is very likely that Solomon and Asael were sons of Ebenzer Hotchkiss and Elizabeth Cleverly.
     Ebenezer Hotchkin and his wife Jerusha lived their entire lives in Guilford and were buried in the Guilford, Nut Plains Cemetery and his death date comes from his gravestone. The Guilford Vital Records, has an Ebenezer Hodgkin or Hodgkiss who died 23 November 1760. The Compiler has visited their graves and photographed the gravestones. Talcott claims another marriage to a Sarah (last name unknown); however, this is unlikely with Ebenezer and Jerusha being buried together. Ebenezer appears on a list of Freemen, dated 19 September 1749.⁸

     Ebenezer Hodgkin Dea. was born on 2 October 1758 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.³ He was the son of Ebenezer Hodgkin and Jerusha Johnson. Ebenezer Hodgkin Dea. was a Private, andserved in Coast Guards at Guilford, during the Revolutionary War. He served 138 days. He married Ruth Hubbard at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, on 16 January 1791.⁴ Ebenezer Hodgkin Dea. appeared on the census of 1820 at Richmond, Berkshire County, MA, USA.

He died on 24 March 1833 at Richmond, Berkshire County, MA, at age 74.^5,6,7 He was buried at Northeast Cemetery, at Richmond, Berkshire County, MA, USA. Cemetery established 1778.⁸

     Ebenezer and Ruth moved to Richmond, MA from Guilford about 1796, one of the earliest of any of the family to leave Connecticut. Berkshire Co., MA land records show a sale of Lot 6, Second Land Division in Lenox by Ebenezer Welch to Ebenezer Hotchkin of Guilford, dated 2 April 1796. Land records show him acquiring additional land in 1797 and then again in 1827.
     His Will, Docket #5353, probated 7 May 1835 left furniture and 1/3 of his property to widow Ruth, the balance divided between children John, Jerusha, Frederic, Ebenezer J., and Maria. The Will, dated 16 March 1833, shows Jerusha and Maria as widows as of this date. His son John was appointed Executor of the estate. The probate documents give the residence of Ebenezer Jr. as Mississippi. Goshen, Mississippi is where Rev. Ebenezer J. started his missionary work with the Choctaw Indians. By the date of this probate, the name had been changed from Hodgkin or Hochkin to Hotchkin and all parties were referred to as Hotchkin.
     Ebenezer is listed in Bernard Steiner's book, History of Guilford and Madison, CT as having served 138 days in the Coast Guard after having enlisted on 27 May 1780. This list calls him Private Ebenezer Hotchkin Jr.⁹

     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

     Elizabeth Hodgkin was born at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA, in 1674. She was the daughter of John Hodgkin and Mary Bishop. She married Christopher West at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, on 17 March 1709. Elizabeth died on 9 November 1711 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT.

Elizabeth Norton.

     The Family of William Stone, by Edward P. Stone Sr. says that Widow Eliz Hotchkin Chittender married Jehiel Stone on 9 March 1761 as his second wife. It is not known where the reference to Daniel Norton came from.

     Elizabeth was born at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA, on 19 October 1745.³ She was the daughter of Noah Hodgkin and Hannah Morse. Elizabeth Hodgkin died on 5 September 1751 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, at age 5.^4,5

     Elizabeth was baptized in the Congregational Fourth Church, Guilford.

     Elizabeth Hodgkin was born on 20 January 1737/38 at Killingworth, Middlesex County, CT, USA.³ She was the daughter of Janna (Johannes) Hodgkin and Sarah Edwards. Elizabeth Hodgkin died in 1739 at Killingworth, Middlesex County, CT.

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

     Elizabeth Hodgkin was born circa 1780.

     Eunice Hodgkin was born on 14 July 1765 at Madison, New Haven County, CT, USA.³ She was the daughter of Thomas Hodgkins and Elizabeth Parmelee.

CT Deaths gives age at death as 89..⁴ She was buried in 1855 at Higganum Cemetery, at Higganum, Middlesex County, CT, USA.

     Both Talcott and NEHGR mention Eunice, but Talcott calls 14 July 1765 her birthday, where NEHGR gives the date as her baptismal date. It is likely that Talcott is wrong as the date appears in the North Madison Congregational Church records.

     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 Meade at CT, USA, circa 1795. George M. Hodgkin appeared on the census of 1830 at Lebanon, Madison County, NY, USA.

     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

     Hannah and her sister Lois were born as twins on 30 January 1750 and died one day apart at an age of about 1 1/2 years. The Fourth Church of Guilford mistakenly show Hannah and her twin sister Lois being baptized on 22 December 1749; prior to their recorded birth.
