Disputed Origins

"Older sources claim that... there were two more children [of John Hoskins]: Anthony Hoskins who married in 1656 and Rebecca who also married in 1656... Anthony and Rebecca were more likely his nephew and niece, or even totally unrelated."^[1]. Anderson references research conducted by Genevieve Kiepura (TAG 30:191-192), Coddington (TAG 38:1-4) and Gerald J. Parsons (NEHGR 143:117-119) debunking the Anthony and Rebecca as children theory.

Recently the Hoskins DNA project has proven that Anthony Hoskins was indeed a Hoskins, meaning that he was either the son of John Hoskins or a close relative such as a nephew.^[2]

Anthony moved to Windsor, CT about 1635 with his possible relation, John Hoskins.

He died 4 January 1706 OS Windsor, CT.^{[citation needed]}
