Misc. Notes
Noah Hodgkin was also known as Hotchkin. He was born at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, USA, on 14 October 1716.3 He was the son of Joseph Hodgkin and Elizabeth Hill. He married Hannah Morse at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, on 2 March 1740/41.4,5 Noah Hodgkin died on 4 May 1783 at Guilford, New Haven County, CT, at age 66.
Noah bought from his brother John, a parcel of land on Walnut Hill containing about 4 acres on 22 January 1747/8. According to Mary Hoadley Griswold, "Yester-years of Guilford," Noah and Hannah built a home at 44 Fair Street in Guilford, shortly after 1761 and just before the war of the Revolution. Noah Hodgkin II and his father Noah I on 15 August 1761 bought a trifle over a half-acre of land of Silas and Sarah Benton and there built a house, the present home of Mr. and Mrs. E. Selden Clark. On 4 July 1769, the two Noah's, bought each, 53 rods of land, measuring 2 1/2 rods front and rear, from Philip and Ann Man (between the dwelling of Capt. Nathaniel Johnson on the north and that of Noah I on the south). Here Noah II, 27 years old and married, built a home, the present Spalding house. Upon the death of Noah, the settlement of the estate gave, "To Noah Hodgkin II, that part of the land that Noah Hodgkin formerly bought of Philip and Ann Man, with the dwelling standing partly thereon and partly on Noah II own land, together with other buildings." The Compiler visited Guilford in 1989 and again in 1990 and took pictures of Noah's home. The home is in bad need of repair where adjacent homes built at the same time have been totally restored. Griswold reports that in the division of Noah's estate in 1786, the south part of house and land was set to his widow, Hannah Hodgkin, as dower, while the North half of the house and went to his son, Beriah.
Rev. James Hervey Hotchkin, in "A History of the Purchase and Settlement of Western New York," pg 283, comments on his grand parents: "...he was a respectable mechanic and though not a member of a visible church, yet strongly attached to religious order, a serious believer of the great truths of the Christian system, and observant of the duties of family religion through life. ... mother was a woman of strong intellectual powers, and of warm and consistent piety."6
