     According to his obituary in the Prattsburg News, Joseph died on the farm where he was born. This farm originally was purchased by Rev. Beriah and his son, Beriah Jr lived there until he died. Lucretia sold it to James Hotchkin Jr in 1866 but Joseph lived there all his life. It was on this farm that six of Joseph and Desiah's children died of "black diphtheria" in 1864. The children were buried on the farm and a maple tree planted over their graves. There being no money for gravestone, Desiah wrote epitaphs for each child on small gilt-edged cards. These cards are now faded but still readable. A grandchild went to the graves every year with her father to place flowers and hear the story again. After that grandchild moved away from Prattsburg, she realized that in the future no one would know about the childrens graves so she had a stone craved, "the Children of Joseph Beriah and Desiah Dunning Hotchkin-1864". She had quite a time convincing the stone worker that she wanted 1864 on the stone and not 1964. The maple tree died in 1986. Joseph and Desiah are both buried in the Prattsburg Rural Cemetery.

This date comes from Seth Hotchkin Bible Records according to Geoffrey Brown, but Jerri Moore in her records says the birth was in 1806.

     Joshua Francis is described in Brown, John Hodgkin of Guilford. His birth date comes from Jerrie Moore of San Angelo, TX. The 1855 New York state census of Sullivan Co, NY has Francis's family consisting of Abigail Hotchkin, age 76, widowed, born in CT, lived 30 years in Liberty, (step mother Abigail Hubbell). At the 1860 census of Neversink, Francis's household consists of wife Nancy; Horace Johnson, age 14; Norman Hotchkins, age 13; Ella Johnson, age 13; Albert Hotchkins, age 10; and Nancy Hotchkins, age 9/12. The 1880 Census finds him living in Neversink, Sullivan Co., NY with his third wife Fanny, their daughter Frankie and his grandson Frank W., Nathan's son.
     Francis's death is known from his Will, dated 3 June 1881, probated 23 May 1887; Surrogate Court records, Book 9, pg 572, Sullivan Co. This Will names wife Fanny Tompkins Hotchkins, daughter Frankey T. Hotchkins, grandson Frank W. Hotchkins, and Elias Chamlain. Francis's son William Mead claimed that the Will was coerced and asked to have it overturned based on his fathers incompetence. The transcript of this hearing is dated 23 May 1887 shows that his challenge was rejected. Francis and his first wife Lydia are buried in Hodge's Cemetery near Neversink, NY. Geoffrey Brown says that Hotchkin graves occupies the entire East-most row of the cemetery but excludes Albert and Philena who are elsewhere in the cemetery. Nancy Le Roy Johnson is buried in the same cemetery with her first husband and children; however, her grave is marked "wife of Francis Hotchkin." The Compiler tried to visit this cemetery while he was in Neversink but didn't find out until later that he was in the wrong cemetery.
Brown describes source information which is quoted as follows: "Sources of information include the Bible, census and probate records already cited and the Will of William Mead Hotchkins, Sullivan Co. Will Book 11, pg. 237. (Executor made application January 13 1900)." All full siblings are mentioned by name in the Will with the exception of Ishabeb, George, and Amos (or Emos). Ishabeb comes from the notebook of Helen C. Brown, in an entry captioned "from Augusta Berrian, 10/62." Amos (or Enos) is known of only because of an entry in that name, age 3, identified as "son" of the head of the household in the 1855 New York State census. Bible records from Audrey Carver provide all dates of birth and add George Hotchkin to the list of children. Probate transcript cited above provides additional information and substantiation. The source of much of the information regarding Seth Hotchkin is Donald Lines Jacobus, Hale, House and Related Families. The 1872-73 Gazetteer and Business Directory of Sullivan Co. lists him as a farmer with 75 acres.^2,3
