Josiah Hoskinson was born 1759 Maryland.  He died in 1836 and is buried in an abandoned cemetery on farm now 
owned by J. A. Amos in Jackson Township.  He was married his first wife unknown.  Children: Thomas; Charles; 
John; James; Kathryn; Enos.  Second wife was Alcy Brent.  Children: Josiah; Elisha; Elizabeth; Hugh; Sarah; Isabel 
married a Quick.  Source Page 374, Roster of Soldiers and Patriots of the American Revolution Buried in Indiana, 
1938.
At the time that Vera Eliz Hoskins (b.1922-d.1989) joined the DAR,
reference was made to this same book.
A more recent listing made by Ruth Pruitt and given to Ruth Hutchison
on 12 July 1976, and published in Shelby County Cemetery Records
shows a " FROST HILL CEMETERY - AMOS FARM
             Shelby Co., Jackson Township, Sec 35 "
but it does not list Josiah as one of those interred there.
------------------
Notes by Hugh Thomas Hoskins (b.1936)-
My great-great-grandfather, Josiah Hoskinson, was born in 1759 in
Virginia. He served in the US.Revolutionary War in a company known as
George Washington's Bodyguards.
He is NOT to be confused with others of the same name who variously
died in Ohio and/or were paupers or in an asylum of any sort.
"Our" Josiah married Isabell Evans in 1795 in what is now Monongalia,
West Virginia. They had 6 children, and migrated to central Kentucky.
She died in Floyd Co., Ky in 1814.
There is a very small town named Hoskinston in eastern Ky. near the
No.Carolina border. NO connection has ever been made with it.
Josiah was again married in 1815 in Washington Co., Ky., to Alcy Brent,
the widow of Jacob Cutsinger (with whom she had had 3 children); Josiah
and Alcy had 6 children -- the second of whom was my great-grandfather,
Hugh Abel Hoskinson.
They moved in the Washington, Nelson, Hardin Counties area of Ky. and
eventually settled in the Edinburgh, Indiana, area where Josiah died in
1836. He was buried in a small private cemetery on the J.A.Amos farm; in
the last half of the 1900s the gravestones were moved about 30 feet to
the south to build a house. Some are readable; some have been
vandalized; Josiah's is not obvious, but it was noted in an earlier
published reading of the stones.
Hugh Abel Hoskinson, was born in 1824 in Ky. In time he shortened his
name to Hoskins. As far as we know, none of his siblings did the same.
He died in the area of Edinburg, Indiana, and is buried in what at this
time is the St.George Luthern Churchyard east of Edinburg.

Josiah Hoskinson
(Continued)
Hugh Abel Hoskins and his wife Elizabeth Snepp had 12 children; the
family name was carried by blood only thru his sons John (known very
affectionately to my dad as "Uncle John" and David Julius Hoskins, my
grandfather. Another son, Josiah (known as Joe) adopted a boy whow he
named William or Billy who was last seen by the family to have passed
thru Columbus, In., in the 1980s. David had only one son, Hugh Adam
Hoskins; he had only one son, Hugh Thomas Hoskins; he had only one
son, Hugh Douglas Hoskins (b.1971). John had 12 children: 7 boys and 5
girls. The only other Hoskins male at my generation level is Fred John
Hoskins, Jr., (b.1938) and he has one son, David Lee Hoskins (b.1969).
To David and Doug we are dependent to continue the family name.
There is a Bible which belonged to John's son Grover which was passed
to his son James and thence to his daughter Sharon. Have not yet seen
or confirmed the contents; it may have belonged to John; not sure yet.
The general consensus is that the name Hoskins originated as Roger,
which morphed to Rodge, Hodge, and on to Hodgkins, and Hoskins, and
Hoskinson (with the Haskins and Huskins somewhat related, too) -- likely
mostly in England (or the British Isles, anyway) -- before coming to the
Western Hemisphere where is was again shortened to Hoskins. There are
still a swarm of them in Floyd, Washington, Nelson, and Hardin Counties
area of KY; some of which are likely more closely related than others, but
we have NO firm connection.

Catherine I. Hoskins
This person is variously known as Kate or Catherine; the Bible records of Hugh Abel Hoskins(on) (handed thru 
Grover, James, and Sharon) state Kate, but the full Catherine is entered here. Likely the "I." is for Isabella, Hugh's 
dad's first wife.

Death date descrep 23 Mar /vs/ 23 May
As per Johnson Co Votal Records: 23 Mar'36; just 6 days before Hugh T. Hoskins was born.
There has been some discrepancy as tho John's middle name being Schnep or Snepp; the latter is more prevalent 
and was his mother's maiden name.
Hattie/Nettie ran off with another/younger man --- poss. travelling salesman. John later lived with Virgil and then 
with Grover.
Mid.name may be Snepp after his mom.
There have been known to be records stating Sarah's birth as
31 July 1851; which is NOT correct. She was a twin to John - both born
31 July 1857.

Alcy Hoskins
This person is variously known as Alcy or Elsie; but the Bible records of Hugh Abel Hoskins(on) (handed thru Grover,

Alice Mary Hoskins
There have been known to be records stating a birth on a Mary Hoskins in 1860; that is incorrect; her name was 
Alice Mary Hoskins.
This person is variously known as Alice or Allice; even so in the Bible records of Hugh Abel Hoskins(on) (handed 
thru Grover, James, and Sharon).  The entry here is the more-common Alice.

There is an envelope to David Julius Hoskins from the furniture factory of his brother
William Hoskins in Aurora, Indiana.
As David was a factory-rep/salesman, it likely contained photos of furniture for
him to use in his calls on local stores.
The address of 2146 Cleneay in Norwood (an part of Cincinnati) is not too far from
the 3305 Woodburn address where the Ben Weinberg family lived.
Ben's wife, Clara (nee Amberg) was a sister to David's wife Harriet "Hattie" Amberg.
