     Frank's grandson Hugh Miller Hotchkin reports on this individual, but much of the information was confused with his father, Eber. Hugh says that Frank had brothers who joined the Union army and one died of starvation in a confederate prison camp. This was his father, Eber. According to Hugh, Frank (Eber) moved down the Allegheny River and Ohio River to North Bend, Ohio, and then, across Indiana to El Paso, IL where they lived for a while. Eber did live and was married in El Paso. From there the family moved across Iowa and ended near Mitchell, South Dakota (Hugh is correct that this would be Frank's family). After hardships with cold winters and dry summers Frank decided to move to Chicago. The move to Chicago was in cattle cars and they ended at and lived in an area at the Chicago Stock Yards called "back of the yards."      
     The 1900 census of Chicago, Cook Co., IL finds him living at 5143 Winchester St with his wife Annie. This census gives his birth as Jun 1859 and the place as IL. The census report says that they had 10 children, 8 still living and they had been married 20 years. The census says, his father was born in NY and mother in Ohio. His occupation was R. R. Switchman and he owned his home with a mortgage.      
     After the death of his wife Anna, Frank married the house keeper, Mrs Ferguson, who had a son LeRoy. According to grandson Hugh, LeRoy Ferguson became the Archbishop of the Episcopalian Church in St. Paul, MN and Hugh believes that LeRoy collected and wrote information on the Hotchkin Family. Like much information carried down in a family, some of the above is correct, some is erroneous and some cannot be verified. The compiler has no information on LeRoy, but he was likely born in Chicago.
     Frank's grandson, Raymond Harry says that Frank's proper name was Frank Edward but he was often called Edward Frank. The records show that he was Ernest Frank by birth, but was called Frank Ernest. Raymond gives the first name of Frank's second wife, Matilda or Mathilda. Raymond Harry Hotchkin says relatives lived in the state of Minnesota near Ely. He also says that an Uncle of John Francis (brother of Frank Edward?) was an Episcopalian Minister in the Northwest and visited them occasionally. The compiler thinks that this is likely LeRoy Ferguson, son of Frank's second wife. There is no verification on any of this information.
     Ernest first appears in the Chicago City Directories in 1895, as a railroad switchman residing at 5141 Winchester. In 1896 the family lives at 345 Leeland and in 1898 they are back at the Winchester address. They appear at this address through 1910. The 1910 directory is the last directory available until 1928. The 1928 Polk Directory says that he is a carpenter and contractor and lives at 5828 S. Artesian, which is also the address of Hugh J., John F. and William M. Hotchkin. A microfilm of some voting records of 1892, has him at 5141 Winchester, Dist. 1, Ward 30, Precinct 34. The records show that he had lived in the precinct 2 months, the county 4 years and the state 4 years. This information likely places the families move from SD to IL in 1888. The death certificate for Frank, calls him Frank E. Hotchkin, born 1 Jun 1859, in El Paso, IL. It says that his father was Eber Hotchkin, and mother unknown. The certificate says that he worked 35 years for R. R. Donally Co. as a carpenter, and last worked in Aug 1936. His father's birthplace is given as Sullivan, NY.
