21 Oct 1750 Emanuel, s. of Richard & Anne Hodgkiss [bap]
!P: Notes: Putting these two marriages together as belonging to the same individual is only possible because of the uniqueness of his name. Emmanual was one of the Early Hotchkiss family in Scotland, but seems to have returned to his native Shropshire, England, purhaps after the scandal described below.
!P: [From the Presby Sessions of the Church of Airth, Scotland, 1773]--
!P: Compeared also Janet Penman by virtue of a Citation upon a Reporte given in to the session of her being with child. And being interrogate as to the truth of that Report answered in the affirmative, being also interrogate as to the father of her Child, made answer that Emmanual Hodgcase, Coalhewer, was the Father and that the Child was begot in the Coal Pitt, upon the 14th October last, do style, viz., the Day after the fair of Carron Shore, and declares that when she was in the Pit that Hodgecase and Abraham Ward another Coalhewer came to her as she was employed about her lawfull Business and after some words, Ward put out the Candles and immediately went off to the Pit bottom leaving Hodcase & her and a young girl together and then and there the child was begot. The Session considering this affair ordered Hodgcase to be cited next Sabath to attend the Session and the mod having openly exhorted Janet to a serious repentance for her [offence] which was agravated greatly by her having been guilty of the same offence before. She was then ordered to wait on the session that Day week to confront the man and was dismissed pro loco es Tempore. Close in A Prayer.
!P: 21st Feb'ry 1773. The session was informed that Janet Penman waited upon them but that Emanual Hodgecase was not come forward tho properly Cited, upon which orders were given to Cite him again to attend that Day week.
!P: 28th. Emanuel Hodgecase being called upon by the officer did not appear and one of the Elders who had seen him told that he absolutely refused ever to attend.
