M, (27 August 1772 - after 1830)
     Abner Hochkin was born on 27 August 1772 at Cornwall, Litchfield County, CT, USA.3 He was the son of Abraham Hochkin Jr. and Sarah Stone.

Oliver Hochkin1

M, (16 October 1774 - 2 January 1861)
     Oliver Hochkin was born on 16 October 1774 at Cornwall, Litchfield County, CT, USA. Baptised 18 December 1774 according to Starr.2,3,4 He was the son of Abraham Hochkin Jr. and Sarah Stone. He married Cynthia Jackson at Cornwall, Litchfield County, CT, on 4 October 1798. Starr gives the marriage date as 6 October 1798..5,4 Oliver Hochkin appeared on the census of 1840 at Bethany, New Haven County, CT, USA. The census lists the family as: Oliver Hotchkins, 1 male 60-70 (1770-1780); 1 female 50-60 (1880-1890).. He left a will on 22 January 1859 at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA. He lived in 1860 at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA. He died on 2 January 1861 at Columbia, Tolland County, CT, USA, at age 86.6 He was buried at Grove Street Cemetery, at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA. Lot 49, Laurel St.

     Oliver's birth and marriage is listed in Jacobus, Families of Ancient New Haven, and his birth and family relationship is given in Talcott and NEHGR. Oliver used the name Hochkin in Cornwall and that is the name on his grave. Most of the land records have Hotchkin, but sometimes he signed Hochkin. According to a Deed recorded in Salisbury, Litchfield Co., CT he was living there in January 1803.
     Many land records show his purchase and sales activity in New Haven from about 1845 until 1859. Some more interesting of these records are the following: In 1854 Oliver Deeds to Sarah Brown 1/8 of Lot 49 in the City Burying Grounds. The Browns are buried in this portion of the lot. 2. On 1 May 1848 Jason Brown and Henry Sanford sell to Oliver of Bethany, New Haven Co. land in New Haven City. 3. Lavina Kingsley sells Oliver the N 1/2 of Lot 49 of the City Burying Grounds. 4. Isaac Mosher grants to Oliver property on Pearl St. in New Haven on 19 January 1856.
     Several Deeds show that Oliver was a money lender with real property as the security for the loan. Oliver Hotchkin Deeds to Isaac Mosher for the sum of $1.00, land that Mosher mortgaged to Oliver on 19 January 1856. Oliver grants to Edson Sperry furniture in the house at 12 Martin St.: One sofa, 12 cane bottom chairs, 4 feather beds, 2 rocking chairs, 20 yds. of ingrain carpeting, 2 rag carpets 60 yds., 2 painted wash stands, 1 candle stand, 4 maple bedsteads, 3 glass lamps, 1 chest of drawers and contents, 2 painted dressing stands, 1 mahogany candle stand, 1 gilt framed looking glass. Oliver's last Deed on 22 Jan 1859 was the most interesting of all. Oliver Granted to Rosaling Sperry, wife of Edson Sperry, Oliver J. Whiting of New Marlbough, MA and Laura S. Merwin, wife of George Merwin the property that Oliver Hochkin owned on Old Street in New Haven. He made this Grant under the condition that these three persons would care for him, in a careful manner, the rest of his life. If this care was not given, the property was to revert to him. He died almost exactly two years later. His death was reported in New Haven Vital Records. In his Will, dated 22 January 1859, he uses the name Hotchkin. He left over $2,000 to various entities including a Hannah Hotchkin, likely the daughter of his brother Rozel, living in South Egremont, MA. He also left $200 to any of the daughters of his brother Abner for the care of Abner's daughter Abigail. Oliver left $200 to Jeherza Sperry, wife of Fowler Sperry and the same amount to Souiza Hart, wife of Alfred Hart. Neither of these parties were identified. To the Second Baptist Society, Wooster Place House, he left $1000 to be held and kept in a special fund. This fund was to be invested in mortgage securities, the real estate to have at least twice the value of the unpaid loan. The income and interest thereon was to be annually appropriated by said Society toward the support of such poor and needy persons, belonging to or worshiping with said Society. If the Society failed to provide in the manner specified, the funds were to be given to the First Baptist Society, to be invested in the same manner. The Compiler tried to investigate this bequest to see if the trust still existed. The present minister of the church knew nothing of the fund or its conditions. It must have been long gone, against the wishes of Oliver. Oliver is buried in plot 49 Laurel St., at Grove Street Cemetery, which he purchased from Lavina Kingley, the daughter of his brother Joseph. The Barbour Collection gives his birth in Cornwall on 16 October 1774.7,8,9

     Harmon (Herman) Jackson Hodgkin was born on 27 August 1799 at Cornwall, Litchfield County, CT, USA.1,2 He was the son of Oliver Hochkin and Cynthia Jackson. Harmon (Herman) Jackson Hodgkin died on 25 February 1833 at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA, at age 33. He was buried at Grove Street Cemetery, at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA. Lot 49, Laurel St.3

     The Connecticut Hearld March 26 1833, New Haven Cemetery Inscriptions 215, pg 61 and Jacobus give information on the birth and death of Herman (Harmon). It is probably that he never married as he is buried with his sister and their parents with a common tall monument, parents names on one side and children on the other side. In examining the monument in 1990, the dates are not readable as someone has put a white coating on the stone to reduce deterioration; there are also no dates on the cemetery record cards. He is buried in 49 Laurel, a plot acquired by his father from Lavina Kingley according to a deed recorded in Vol. 126, Pg. 359 of New Haven records.4

F, (1787 - 20 February 1873)
     Lavinia was born at Richmond, Berkshire County, MA, USA, in 1787. Birth year calculated from age 86 at death.. She was the daughter of Joseph Hochkin and Abigail Horton.

     Lavina's marriage to Adonijah Kingley is documented in a number of locations, including the Richmond Town Records where it indicated both the filing of the Intention of Marriage and the Marriage Record; however, no date is given on these records. The Berkshire Star gives a date of 1806. This same date is also given in "Families of Ancient New Haven," by Jacobus. The death records are found in records of the 1st Congregational Church, New Haven, Vol 5, pg 242.
     It is possible that she had later marriages to Jeduthan Thomas and William Clifford as they are buried in the Elias Hochkin family plot. Thomas' gravestone says 1807-1850. Clifford has no stone but is recorded in the cemetery office. There is also a Susan Thomas buried in the plot with no stone or dates in the cemetery records. These men could also be later husbands of Lavina's sister Abigail.
     It is known that Lavina had two children as the 1st Congregational Church of New Haven has the entry, "N.W. Taylor baptized two children of Livina Hochkin, 9 September, 1821."2

Elias Hochkin

M, (1785 - 14 August 1824)
     Elias Hochkin was born in 1785 at Richmond, Berkshire County, MA, USA. He was the son of Joseph Hochkin and Abigail Horton. He married Clarinda Gaston at Richmond, Berkshire County, MA, on 8 November 1807. Marriage of Elias and Clarinda Gaston recorded in Vital Records, Richmond, MA and shown in Shepard Probate Records. Their "Intention of Marriage" was recorded in Richmond Town records..1,2 Elias Hochkin appeared on the census of 1820 at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA. The census lists the family as: Hotchkin, Elias, 1 male under 10, 1 male 26 to 45; 2 females under 10, 1 female 26 to 45; 1 person engaged in commerce. At this census, Elias and Joseph are living on adjacent properties.. He married Sarah (Sally) Baldwin at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, after 1819. This marriage is found only in his Will.. Elias Hochkin died on 14 August 1824 at New Haven, New Haven County, CT.3 He was buried at Grove Street Cemetery, at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA.4

     Elias was a well-known man in the New Haven area and when he died, his death was reported in 10 different newspapers with a number of different ages given. Elias and his family were members of the 1st Congregational Church of New Haven and their records list his death as 17 August 1824. During his lifetime he generally used his name as Hochkin but his Will used both the old and new spelling. His burial is in Grove Street Cemetery in a large family plot that he purchased from the original owner, William Gorham (S 1/2, Lot 8, Vol 67, pg 151, 27 July 1818, New Haven Land Records.) Elias was a grocery merchant in New Haven with a store on Broadway Street and at his death the inventory of his store was transferred to his father Joseph who was his business partner. This inventory was in great detail and rather interesting, for example: 3 chamber bowls $.50; 19 black balls $.54; 12 1/2 pounds of candles $1.50; 86 gals Rum $55.90; 3 pecks clover seed $3.75; 1 cast iron stove $10.00; 20 gals wine $13.00; 1 jar of mustard $.30; 1 desk 3.00; etc. The total inventory of approximately 300 items was casted at $1321.25. Elias wife was appointed Administrator of his Will but declined. This document referred to her as Sally.
     Land records in Richmond, MA show that Elias was buying and selling land in that area from 1818 to 1823. Elias also bought and sold a number of land parcels in New Haven during his lifetime. "Sold to his father Joseph for $1,000.00 land on Broadway St., New Haven, Vol 66, p 436, 13 May 1817." "Broadway property given to Livina Kingley and Abigail Hochkin, Vol 69, p 508, 28 September 1826 by Will."
     His marriage to Sarah is proven by another land transaction, "Sarah Moore, late Sarah Hochkin, widow of Elias Hochkin, sold Broadway property, Vol 86, p 427, 28 November 1835". This is the only information on his marriage to Sarah.
     Accordin to the 1820 census we have one male child missing in the family. He would have been born between 1810 and 1820.

Elizabeth Parmelee

F, (18 July 1741 - 14 December 1787)
     Elizabeth Parmelee was born on 18 July 1741 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.1 She was the daughter of Isaac Parmelee and Elizabeth Evarts. She married Thomas Hodgkin at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, on 1 June 1758. They were married at the 4th Congregational Church..2,3 Elizabeth Parmelee died on 14 December 1787 at age 46. She was buried at Hammonassett Cemetery, at Madison, New Haven County, CT, USA. Cemetery inscription says " The Body of Elizabeth the wife of Thomas Hodgkin who died December 14th 1787, aged 46..4

     According to Geoffrey Brown, a 1972 letter to the Hotchkiss Family Association from Catherine McHenry Rogers, identifies a second wife of Thomas, one Eunice Rose. No documentation for this marriage was provided in the letter; however, Elizabeth's death at age 45 and the fact that Thomas is not buried with her, suggests that a second wife is very possible. Mrs. Rogers said that she was a descendant of Thomas' son Ambrose. Based on this information, it is possible that the last three children, Ambrose, Eunice, and Thomas should be listed under a second marriage to Rose. However, in that case we must have Elizabeth's death in error.5,6

Eunice Hodgkin1,2

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

     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.
