Notes for Sarah Cushman
She is assumed to be the daughter of Robert Cushman. But she isn't mentioned on any passenger lists. When Robert returned to England on Colony business, he left his son in the care of Governor Bradford - no mention of Sarah. In 1662 William Hoskins petioned the court for a "first-born child" land grant on behalf of his child and it was granted - so Sarah must have been one of that early group of settlers.684
Notes for William (Spouse 1)
He settled first in Plymouth, then Taunton by 1690, and back to Plymouth by 1692.680
He had enough education to be the town clerk of Middleborough (1683)and a lay preacher (1692).442
He became a freeman on 1 January 1634.439
He was listed as one of the men in Plymouth able to bear arms in August 1643. 681
He appears to have suffered even more severely than most of his neighbors from the devastation of King Philip’s War, since on 2 Mar 1679/80, the Plymouth Colony Court voted “four pound unto William Hoskins … in regard of his low condition, having lost all hee had in the late warr, and beinge growne old and unable to labour.”682
