David Ogden is a proven passenger on the Welcome? He witnessed a will written aboard the Welcome...that of Thomas Heriott.... Thomas was a first Purchaser of land in pa, but there is no mention of David Ogden as such....David signs the will David Ogden waver (so, apparently he was a weaver and identified himself as such). The book THE WELCOME CLAIMANTS PROVED, DISPROVED AND DOUBTFUL, by the Welcome Society has a photocopy of the will, and David's signature. John Hoskins is on the list of disproven passengers. There are several paragraphs on him in the book, along with his wife Mary and son, John....all proven not to be Welcome passengers (this was only a theory put forth by an descendant with no sort of documentation......probably just anxious to have his ancestor aboard!!!) from a book on Thomas Richardson, " John came from Cheshire to Chester - in 1688 built a house on what is now Edgmont Ave, Chester, and left a will dated 2 Jan 1694/5....probate in 1698. John had a warrant for a house lot 9 2nd mo 1683...survey not made until 30 6th mo 1694. Also rights to John Hoskinson for 250 acres. Further proof that he wasn't aboard the Welcome....John Hodkinson shipped goods on the Friendship of Liverpool 21 9th mo 1683, which is pretty good indication that he did not arrive till 1683. S.
