About Rebecca Kelsey

Disputed as child of John Hoskins, of Windsor & Ann Hoskins


Robert C. Anderson, "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633" (Boston, MA: NEHGS, c1995).

Older sources claim that John Hoskins's wife was Ann Filer sister of Walter Filer, and that there were two more children: ANTHONY Hoskins, who married in 1656, and REBECCA, who also married in 1656. There is, however, no evidence for the identity of Hoskins's wife, and Anthony and Rebecca are MORE LIKELY HIS NEPHEW and NEICE, or EVEN TOTALLY UNRELATED. Genevieve Kiepura presented the arguments for excluding Anthony and Rebecca [TAG 30:191-92], and her conclusions were supported by Coddington a few years later [TAG 38:1-4].
