From the records in the court case involving Mary Hoskinson and her attempt to win her dower in Azariah's alleged land holding in Monongalia County, Va. 1801-1814, there were eleven children in the family.' In the several court hearings and trials, all of the children were named at one time or another in the court papers, but not all of the children were named in any single document.

Azariah Thomas and Mary Hoskinson's children were:

Jonathon Hoskinson b. Ca 1770/71 Prince Geo. Co. Md. d. Ohio Married: Unknown

Jonathons recorded activities began after 1795 in Monongalia Co. Va. and continued on into the 1820's. He was well known and had considerable interactivitiy with the other Hoskinsns, during that time. He was named and summoned several times to the court trials by his mother Mary's Attorney, in her effort to claim her dower in Azariah's land holdings after his death.

The summary of Jeremiah's family data is in th #4 position of the Hoskinson Family Tree.

Isaiah Hoskinson b. Ca 1776, Berkeley Co., Va. d. Unknown
He is believed to have lived in Monongalia County, Virginia most of or all of his lifetime.

Azariah Hoskinson Jr. b. Ca. 1778. Berkeley County, d. 8 March 1842, Monroe Co.,Ohio

Azariah moved to Monroe Co. Ohio soon after his marriage. Was a land owner there and a Justice of the Peace for many years in Jackson Twsp. A part of which later became Lee Twsp. He gave land from his farm for a church and burying ground, which is now Mt.Olive church and Cemetery in Lee Twsp. Azariah was appointed Executor of his brother Jeremiah's estate when he died in 1828 in Ohio Township, Monroe County. Azariah died in Monroe Co. and is no doubt buried in the Mt. Olive church cemetery as is Jane, but his stone is no longer in existence. The stone of Jane Hoskinson still exists there.

Levi Hoskinson b. Ca. 1780, Probably in Manallen Twsp., Fayette Co., Pa. d. Unknown

Nothing is known about the life of this Josiah Hoskinson. There was a Josiah that interacted with some of the other Hoskinson children 18001810 in Monongalia Co. and was probably this Josiah. He was also named a few times in the summons for Mary Rudes Court case 1801-08.

Ezekiel Hoskinson b. Ca 1785 d. 19 Feb.1873 Lee Twsp., Monroe Co. Ohio
Married: Mary Baldwin, 6 Dec.1803, Monong. Co.

Lived in Monongalia Co. Va. for a time after marriage, then moved to Pennsylvania for a short time then on to Monroe Co. Ohio. Some evidence points to his having operated some type of business in Monroe County for a time, probably in Salem or Ohio Twsps.

Ezekiel was involved in a Court case in Monongalia Co. 1802 for assault against Samuel Ralson (who married Mary Hoskinson Rude Wid. of Azariah in 1805) His Brothers Isaiah and Levi came into court on his behalf.

In 1805 Ezekiel and Mary'his wife sued Andrew Stewart for Slander, in Monongalia Co. Court. Also in 1805 Ezekiel sold, what he thought was his share of Azariah's land, subject to its final court settlement, to Samuel Knox. This sale was not finalized and settled until 1832 in Monongalia Co. Court and land records.

The last record of Ezekiel living in Monongalia County that I could locate was on David Scotts 1808 road workmen listings.

In 1819 and 1820 Ezekiel was sued in Tyler Co., Va. Court for nonpayment of a horse, by Josiah Thomas. The case was rather extensive and involved witnesses and depositions by Jeremiah Hoskinson, Abner Martin, James Hisson, Azariah Hoskinson JP and Isaac Baily JP,in Monroe Co. Ohio. This case also involved Wm Delashmutt, Van B. Delashmutt, Stephen Scott and James Hisson in Tyler Co. All friends relatives and aquaintances of Ezekiel.
Ezekiel lived the remainder of his life in Monroe County, Ohio.

Lucy Hoskinson Swindler b. Ca 1786, Monongalia Co., Va d. Ca 1877. Wood Co. Va. Age 95.

Not much is known about the life of Lucy. She lived for a time in Monongalia Co. Va. after her marriage to Clayton Swinder. She was involved in the Court case of Mary Ralston 1812-14. She and Clayton moved to Wood Co. Va. Both died there.

Sarah Hoskinson Martin b. Ca 1788 Monongalia County, Va. Monroe County, Ohio.

Sarah probably lived with her older sister Jane for some time after their fathers death in Monongalia County, Va. At the time of her marriage in Ohio she may have been living with her older brother Jeremiah in Grandview Twsp, Washington Co. Ohio. Some evidence indicates that she and Abner died in Monroe Co., Ohio and are both buried in Mt. Olive Cementery.

Archibald Hoskinson b-. Ca 1790 Monongalia County, Ohio. d . ......
Married: Nancy Knight Ca 1810

Not much is known of Archibald. He served in war of 1812. Lived in Washington and Monroe Co. Ohio and is believed to have died there.

The writer believes that a significant amount of proof that this family is our genealogical line was noted in a Journal kept by Oliver Cromwell Hoskins who lived in Utah in 1869. Oliver was the oldest son of Elza Hoskins, who was the 2nd son of Jeremiah Hoskinson listed above. Elza was the brother of Azariah Hoskins of Vermilion County, Illinois. Oliver was born 17 May 1827 in Vermilion County and married Lucinda Howell in Iowa in 1846. Later in 1851 he joined the Mormon Church in Iowa. In 1862 he and Lucinda moved by wagon train to South Cottonwood, Utah from Iowa. Oliver was an elder of the Portage Branch of the Church and later was made Bishop of the Portage Ward. He kept a Journal, in which he listed many members of the familys that he was related to, these included those of his father, mother, wife and many others. In his fathers family he noted that his Grandparents were Jeremiah and Mary Hoskins, also Thomas and Mary Scott. He also noted his "Gran" fathers brothers; Isaiah, Jonathon, Azariah, Ezekiel and Archibald". He also listed Sarah and Jane Hoskins (two of his Gran Fathers sisters) in the listing of the brothers. These people are all listed above in the family of Azariah Thomas Hoskinson. Oliver also mentioned his" Step Gran Mother" Fanny Scott on the same page, she being Fanny Scott, 2nd wife of Jeremiah above. This data was furnished to me by Mrs Ella Nielson Hoskins of Layton, Utah, wife of Herman Hoskins a descendant of Oliver C. Hoskins.

I will also mention that while doing research in Monongalia County I attempted to find the burial site of Azariah Thomas Hoskinson, but was unsuccessful. I did locate and visit a cemetery a short distance from where Azariah Thomas Hoskinson had lived. This was found near the small, present day settlement of Hildebrand, a short distance southwest of Morgantown and just off road #45. It is quite possible that both Azariah and James Hoskinson may have both been buried here. It is a very old cemetery and is currently still in use. Its old section still contained several legible stones and also gave indications that many were missing. Some of the existing stones were for revolutinary veterans and bore familiar names who had been friends, neighbors and aquaintances of the Hoskinsons, such as: Isaac Van Camp who died 2 March 1833, John Knox died at age 82 in January 1831, James Brand age 55 years who died 20 September 1811, and James Robinson in 1804.

This ends the record of Azariah Thomas Hoskinson.
