Richard Hoskins

(16 Oct 1761 - 29 Mar 1834)

Richard may be the only one surviving of his family. His father and mother along with 8 or 9 children came to Baltimore MD from Wales in October of 1784. It appears that all contracted some sickness on the journey and died within days of arriving. Richard survived and stayed in Baltimore, and married his wife Jane.
They started West in 1805 arriving in Franklinton Ohio in December staying the winter there and moving up the Scioto to the mouth of Bokes Creek in the spring of 1806.
They settled in an area that is now called Warrensburg but the original village was around the Hoskins land and nothing is left of that Village.
Richard and his wife Jane are buried in the Bokes Creek Cemetery just to the North of Warrensburg.
