We cannot find the origins of the Hoskins heiress who was the mother of Capt. Roger Jones
The parents seen on MyHeritage trees were the Connecticut colonists Ann Hoskins & John Hoskins, of Windsor who, as Puritans, did not have a Royalist daughter before they married.
The book Captain Roger Jones, of London and Virginia (https://archive.org/details/captainrogerjone00jone/page/n48/mode/1u...) claims:
“He was [Roger Jones] was the sole surviving descendant from his mother, who was a Hoskins and sole heiress of her family, whose arms he therefore quartered with his own … they all agree that our ancestress must have belonged to the " Barrow Green " family, because, they allege, she had the engrailed chevron, all others of the name having the chevron plain …”
Which indicates the family of Charles Hoskyns & Ann Hoskyns
However, they are described at http://stirnet.com/genie/data/british/hh4bz/hoskyns02.php, and their children are accounted for. And they had several.
I also noticed her birth place was showing as “Chevron, England.” Which, as far as I know, does not exist. But apparently she has a “chevron.” :)
Do you think he really had been a pirate, or was that gossip about how he made his money in the Colonies?
