In England the surname Hos- HOSFORD ford is variously spelled Horse ford, Horsefield, Hosse- ford; in America the family is divided as to the spelling, some preferring Hosford, others Horsford, and this difference dates back to the

days of the immigrants. Burke gives one coat- of-arms for this family: Azure a chevron argent three lions heads erased. Crest: Out of a ducal coronet a demi-pegasus. There is reason to believe that the American family is descended from the English at Dorchester, Dorsetshire. William Horsford of that town made his will June 30, 1621. It was proved January 25, 1623. He provided for his burial in the church of St. Peter's; gave to the poor of the hospital of Dorchester, five pounds. He bequeathed "the house and lands with the appurtenances in the parish of St. Peter's on the lane going toward Fryery, wherein George Hooper, needlemaker, lately dwelt and which I purchased of Mr. Jos. Longe and Thomas Bullocke, unto Joan, my wife, for the term of her life and then to Joan, my daughter, and the heirs of her body ; then to my own right heirs forever. He mentions daughter Sarah, who married John Hands, and his late brother Hugh Horsforde; also his daughter Grace, who married Thomas Frye." This William may be the father or uncle of the American pioneer of the same name.

(I) William Hosford, immigrant ancestor, was born in England and settled first in Dor- chester, Massachusetts, in 1630 or 1633. He was proprietor in 1633 and admitted a free- man April 1, 1634. He removed to Windsor, Connecticut, with the early settlers. He was made commissioner by the general court in 1637. With his two Dorchester Friends, John Witchfield and John Branke, the schoolmaster, he became a ruling elder of the church. His wife, the mother of his children, died at Wind- sor, August 26, 1641, and he married ( second) the widow of Henry Fowkes. He removed to Springfield, Massachusetts, and preached there in the Springfield church, when Moxon gave up in disgust, to October, 1654. He then returned to England alone. He gave land at Windsor to his two children in 1656. About that time his wife joined him in England, and she conveyed by deed some of her land to the Windsor church and the remainder of her hus- band's children. In 1671 she was living at Tiverton, England. He died in England in 1660. Two wills of his are to be seen in the Hartford county records. The first, dated August 27, 1650, is not witnessed. It men- tions his wife Jane, bequeathed a meadow bought of Elias Parkman; gave most of his estate to his only son John and made him exe- cutor. He provided that his estate was to go to the children of his daughter, if his son should leave no heirs. He indicates that

II 39

MASSACHUSETTS.

he had more than one daughter living. The second will was recorded February 29, 1660-61 (sic). It was dated September 6, 1654, evidently just after going to England. He bequeathed all his estate to John, his only son, and appointed him "to discharge my Bill into Court for Richard Samwais's children, as also a bill under my hand to my wife for about forty pounds, if my wife stays in New Eng- land, but I hope she will come unto me in England." Presumably Samwais was his son- in-law, for his wife bequeathed or deeded property to Esther Samwais and to "Sister Wildish" in England. Children : I. Sarah, married, November 1, 1642, Stephen Taylor. 2. Esther, married Richard Samwise (Sam- wais ). 3. John, mentioned below.

(II) John, son of William Hosford, was born about 1630 and died August 7, 1683. When his father returned to England, he re- mained in Windsor, was heir to his father's estate there and is the progenitor of all the colonial families of the Hosford name in this country. He married Phillipa Thrall, daugh- ter of William Thrall, who died August 3. 1679, and mentions her in his will. Hosford left no will. His widow and son William were administrators, appointed December 10, 1683, and his estate was valued at twelve hundred and three pounds seventeen shillings four pence, in the inventory, dated November 14, 1683. The names of his children are found on an agreement to partition. Children, born at Windsor : I. William, October 25, 1658, died unmarried May 29, 1688, leaving his estate to his mother and brother Obadiah "who is exer- cised with weakness" and the property to be divided after his mother's death between his brothers and sisters and niece, Sarah Phelps, daughter of his sister Sarah, who married Timothy Phelps: brother John executor. 2. John, October 16, 1660. 3. Timothy, Octo- ber 20. 1662, married, December 5, 1689, Han- nah Palmer. 4. Esther, May 27, 1664. 5. Sarah. September 27, 1666. 6. Samuel, June 2. 1669, married, April 4. 1690, Mary Palmer ; ( second ) Elizabeth Brown. 7.

(III) Captain Obadiah, son of John Hos- ford, was born in Windsor, September 20, 1677. He settled in Hebron, Connecticut, and is called "captain" in the records. He married (first) - -; (second) Mindwell Phelps, May 14. 1708, and she survived him. He died in

Hebron in 1741. His will was dated September 14, 1737, and proved September 21, 1741. He left a large estate inventoried at twenty-five hundred and thirty-nine pounds nine shillings seven pence, March 16, 1741. Children : I. Daniel, mentioned below. 2. Joseph. 3. Sarah. 4. Obadiah. 5. Ann. 6. Mindwell.

(IV) Daniel, son of Captain Obadiah Hos- ford, was born 1695-1700, in Hebron, Con- necticut, and died at Canaan, May 23, 1777. He was executor of his father's estate, and probably the eldest son. Canaan was settled first in 1738 and incorporated in 1739, so he must have lived most of his life in Hebron, which was settled largely by Windsor people in 1704 and incorporated in 1707. He was one of a committee appointed to divide the estate of Judah Lewis in 1757 and was then of Heb- ron. Children: 1. Daniel, born about 1725, bought the original right of Zebulon Ferris in Charlotte, Vermont, August 20, 1777: soldier in the revolution. 2. David, married Martha Dibble: (second ) Packard, widow. 3.

(V) Joseph, son or nephew of Daniel Hos- ford, was born probably in Canaan, Connecti- cut. about 1730. His brothers removed to Williamstown, Massachusetts, and two of them during the revolution settled at Char- lotte, Vermont. His brother David was the ancestor of Professor E. N. Hosford, of Har- vard. William had nine children born at Wil- liamstown, Massachusetts. Josiah also set-

tled in Williamstown. Joseph's children appeared in Williamstown and it is likely that he lived there also, though he may have remained at Canaan.

(VI) Stephen, son of Joseph Hosford, was born August 13, 1763, probably at Canaan, Connecticut. He lived at Plainfield, Massa- chusetts, and Goshen after 1805. He was a prosperous farmer. He. married Bethia Hal- lock, daughter of William Hallock, who came from Long Island to Goshen, Massachusetts. She had brothers Rev. Jeremiah, a circuit preacher, and Moses Hallock, and a sister, Mrs. Daniel Perkins. She was born Feb- ruary 13. 1766, died at Williamstown, Mass- achusetts, July 23. 1839. Children : I.

He purchased a black- smith shop at Williamstown and conducted it in connection with his farming. He invested extensively in real estate and became a citizen of standing and importance in the community. He continued in the militia after the war and rose to the rank of captain. He was a Whig in politics and took a lively interest in public affairs. When he retired from active business he moved to New Hartford, Connecticut, where he died February 3, 1857. He married Sophia Bardwell, born July 28, 1802, died No- vember 2, 1872, daughter of Obadiah and Me- hitable (Smith) Bardwell.

At the end of his three months, the period of his first enlist- ment, he re-enlisted and received a lieutenant's commission. He was subsequently promoted to the rank of captain. He took part in several important engagements and was in active ser- vice until 1863. when he resigned his com- mission. Returning to Winsted, he embarked in business as a retail shoe dealer there. He sold this business in 1871 and removed to Hay- denville, Hampshire county, Massachusetts, to work in the brass shop of Haydenville Brass Works. He was made overseer of his depart- ment in the course of time and held that posi- tion until he resigned in 1885. He then began farming on a place he had bought in 1882 known as the William Skinner place, contain- ing sixty-three acres of land unimproved and mcultivated except for twelve acres of meadow. He put the land under cultivation, erected the present building, and has been an enterprising and successful farmer. When the electric railway was built past his farm,

he fitted up a pine grove on his farm for pic- nic purposes, calling it Terrace Grove, and it became a favorite resort for summer parties and picnickers from far and near. He built a covered platform with a seating capacity of two hundred ; provided excellent cooking facil- ities, and there were grounds for base ball and other sports. The grove was also accessible from the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. He has not opened the park since 1902. In politics Mr. Hosford is a Democrat.

BALL John Ball, immigrant ancestor, set- tled at Watertown, Massachusetts, in 1650. He is said to have come from Wiltshire in England. He was admitted a freeman of Watertown, May 22, 1650.

His estate was administered by his son John, Jr .. appointed February 1, 1677-78. It appears from the History of Lancaster that John Ball was one of the first three settlers in Lancaster as early as 1643, a fact that explains perhaps why so little is to be found about him in the Watertown records. Lancaster was originally called Nashaway. At the end of 1644 there were but two dwellings in the place, occupied by Richard Linton, Lawrence Waters, and John Ball. Children of first wife: 1.
