Hi everyone: I am trying to track down some of the Hoskins who were members of Holy Name of Mary Catholic church in the late 1700's and early 1800's. Gerald Thompson's KY Catholic Pioneers notes that Anne "Nancy" HOSKINS who married Dixon KIRK was the d/o Rudolph HOSKINS, a VA native. Recently I found an entry on the LDS website that named her father as Joseph Randolph HOSKINS who was a VA native. I descend from a Joseph Randle (aka Randloph) HOSKINS who enlisted for military service in St. Mary's Co MD and in an affidated on behalf of Bennett Dailey's pension application stated that he lived in Charles Co MD at the time he enlisted. He was in the part of Washington Co that became Marion Co by the early 1800's. I always assumed the pension info meant that he was from MD, however I have not been able to locate him there. Seeing these other records makes me wonder if he was actually a native of VA and was living with other family in MD at the time he enlisted for service. Is there anyone out there who descends from Nancy Hoskins and Dixon Kirk who might be able to give me more info on her parents? This guy has been a real big brick wall for me and I would really appreciate any clues whatsoever! Thanks in advance Ann Hoskins-Brown
