Frederic Bailey, "Early CT Marriages," 1968; gives Abigail's name as Barne. The Barbour Collection lists Abner under the name of Hocklin. It is evident that Abner had several daughters, one of whom was named Abigail as they are mentioned in his brother Oliver's Will; "If either one or more of the daughters of my brother Abner Hochkin will provide for and maintain Abigail, daughter of our said brother Abner, during the natural life of the said Abigail, then I give and bequeath to the daughters so supporting the said Abigail the sum of two hundred dollars, to be divided between them in the proportions that they have contributed to said Abigail..."

He married Sarah Stone at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, on 20 March 1755.⁴ Abraham Hochkin Jr. appeared on the census of 1790 at Cornwall, Litchfield County, CT, USA.

     Abraham and his family lived first in Guilford and later in Cornwall. He is described in T.S. Gold, " Historical Records of Cornwall." Abraham, like all the family in Cornwall used a spelling of his surname without the t, (Hochkin). The gravestone of Abraham and Lettisa support the evidence that they used this spelling.

      Amanda Charlotte Hochkin was also known as Hotchkin. She 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 Juduthan Thompson circa 1834 at New Haven County, CT, USA. Amanda Charlotte Hochkin appeared on the census of 1850 at Orange, New Haven County, CT, USA.

     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.

      Anne Hochkin was also known as Hotchkin. She was born on 8 August 1791 at Cornwall, Litchfield County, CT, USA.^1,2 She was the daughter of Rozel Hochkin and Anner (Anna) Brownson (Bronson).

     Her birth was recorded by T.S. Gold, in "Historical Records of the Town of Cornwall, CT," and she is referred to in the Barbour Collection and LDS International Gen. Index.

      Charles Hochkin was also known as Hotchkin. He was born on 12 April 1901 at New York City, New York County, NY, USA. There is no proof that Charles is a son of Charles E. and Ada except that he uses Hochkin as a name and was born in NYC . He was the son of Charles E. Hochkin and Ada Unknown.

      Charles E. Hochkin was also known as Hotchkin. He was born in 1855 at CT, USA. Age 4 at 1860 census, 14 at 1870 census and 25 at the 1880 census. He was the son of Samuel A. Hochkin and Emily Unknown. Charles E. Hochkin married Ada Unknown circa 1877 at CT. Charles E. Hochkin appeared on the census of 1880 at Manhattan, New York County, NY, USA. The census lists the family as: Charles E. Hochkin, 25, born CT, parents born CT, Burnisher; wife Ada, 18, born NYC, parents born England; dau Maude, 2, born CT..

     No other censuses have any information on Charles or Ada. Charles Jr is only found in birth records. According to the 1910 census her birth date is incorrect as she was not there at that census.

      Charles Henry Hochkin was also known as Hotchkin. He 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.

      Elias Hochkin was also known as Hotchkin. He 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 1810 at Richmond, Berkshire County, MA. The census lists the family as: Elias Hochkin, 1 male under 10, 1 male 16 to 25; 1 female 16 to 25.. He 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) Unknown 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.

      Hannah Hochkin was also known as Hotchkin. She was born on 19 February 1800 at Cornwall, Litchfield County, CT, USA.³ She was the daughter of Rozel Hochkin and Anner (Anna) Brownson (Bronson). Hannah Hochkin appeared on the census of 1860 at Egremont, Berkshire County, MA, USA. The census lists the family as: Hannah Hodgkin, 54, housekeeper, born CT; housekkeper for Joseph Sparks, 75, farmer, born in MA. She appeared on the census of 1870 at Egremont, Berkshire County, MA. The census lists the family as: Hannah Hotchkiss, 66, born MA, living with a boarder.

     Hannah's birth is noted in T.S. Gold's, History of Cornwall, and the Barbour Collection. Hannah's uncle Oliver remembered her in his 1859 Will and at that time she was living in Egremont, MA and was still there at the 1870 census. This census gives her birth in 1804 and says that she was born in MA.

      Joseph Hochkin was also known as Hotchkin. He was born on 27 November 1758 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.^3,4 He was the son of Abraham Hochkin Jr. and Sarah Stone. He married Abigail Horton.⁵ Joseph Hochkin appeared on the census of 1790 at Cornwall, Litchfield County, CT, USA. The census lists the family as: Joseph Hochkins, 1 males 16 and older, 1 females under 16, 4 females over 16.. He appeared on the census of 1800 at Richmond, Berkshire County, MA, USA. The census lists the family as: Joseph Hotchkin, 1 male 16 thru 25, 1 male 26 thru 44; 1 female under 10, 1 female 10 thru 15, 1 female 26 thru 44.. He appeared on the census of 1810 at Richmond, Berkshire County, MA. The census lists the family as: Joseph Hotchkin, 1 male 45 and over; 1 female 10 thru 15, 1 female 26 thru 44, 1 female over 45..

He died on 29 April 1827 at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, at age 68.⁶ He was buried at Grove Street Cemetery, at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA, . Cemetery records give age as 67,born 1759..⁷

     Joseph and his wife Abigail used the "Hochkin" spelling of their names as used by Cornwall, Richmond and New Haven branches of the family. It is clear that this was an intentional spelling of the name as the Compiler has seen several samples of Joseph's signature. Joseph and Abigail lived for a period of time in Richmond, MA and all of their children were married in Richmond or Lenox. Their children used the Hochkin spelling of their names at the time of marriage.
     A Deed dated 16 January 1790, from Mathew Barron to Joseph Hotchkin (note the modern spelling) in which a parcel of land in Richmond, Berkshire Co., MA was conveyed to Joseph, who's address was given as Cornwall, CT sets the approximate date of their move from Cornwall, CT to Richmond, MA. Their first two purchases of land in New Haven, during 1814-1817, used a Richmond address and an 1818 purchase used a New Haven address.
     Their names appear in a number of New Haven land records; among these are: Joseph and Abigail Hotchkin of Rick, Berkshire Co., MA sold to Sarah Parrot, wife of Martin Parrot a 3 1/4 acre tract of land in Westfield, New Haven Co., CT; given to Abigail by her father Samuel Horton. (New Haven Land Records, Vol 52, p 367, 1805). Joseph Hotchkin a resident of Richmond, MA buys from Isaac Mix, land on Broadway Street. (New Haven Land Records, Vol 62, p 416, 5 May 1815). Joseph Hotchkin and Jonathan Nichols grant to Elias Hotchkin, Joseph's son, land on Broadway, (Vol 67, p 150, 27, July 1818).
     Joseph and Abigail were members of the 1st Congregational Society of New Haven and Joseph's death is listed in their records. They are both buried in the historic old Grove Street Cemetery in the site purchased by Elias for their families. The first part of this cemetery was opened in 1814 and it holds such famous men as Eli Whitney, Noah Webster, and Theophilus Eaton the founder and first Governor of New Haven. The Hochkin Family grave has a single tall spear stone with all the names on it: "Joseph Hochkin, died April 28 1827, at age 67." "Abigail Hochkin, died December 5 1829, age 70."
     Joseph was a partner in his son Elias' grocery store and received the inventory of the store when Elias died. At Joseph's death, his Will, Probate #4687, gives one-third of his estate to his "beloved wife Abigail", to his grand daughters, Mary Ann and Amanda, children of my son Elias; each a sum of $50.00; and to his grand son Samuel, son of Elias, a sum of $25.00. All the rest of his estate, he gave to his three daughters, Tabitha Gaston, Lovinia Kingley, and Abigail Dudley.

      Lavinia Hochkin was also known as Hotchkin. 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. She married Adonijah Kingsley at Richmond, Berkshire County, MA, on 15 May 1805.^1,2,3 Lavinia died on 20 February 1873 at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA.⁴ She was buried on 22 February 1873 at Grove Street Cemetery, at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, USA, .⁵

     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

      Mary Ann Elizabeth Hochkin was also known as Hotchkin. She 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.

      Maude Hochkin was also known as Hotchkin. She was born in 1877 at CT, USA. She was the daughter of Charles E. Hochkin and Ada Unknown.

      Nabby Hochkin was also known as Hotchkin. She was born on 3 January 1762 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA.¹ She was the daughter of Abraham Hochkin Jr. and Sarah Stone.
