Orlando B. HOSKINS
Rachael Penfield BEERS |
Husband: Orlando B. HOSKINS / HASKINS
Birth: Aug 1833, Greenwich, Washington Co., NY Death; 16 Dec 1901, Tacoma, Pierce Co., WA Occupation: miller, oil man, grocer, landlord Father: Thomas HOSKINS Mother: Lucretia BARTLETT Most secondary sources show Orlando born in Stillwater, NY, but while his parents did live in Stillwater, Saratoga Co., NY, before they were married, they were in Greenwich certainly by the 1830 census and are said to have married in Greenwich in 1824. |
Marriage: 13 Jun 1860 |
Wife: Rachael Penfield BEERS
Birth: 29 Feb 1836, Fairfield, Fairfield Co., CT Death: 21 Mar 1917, Tacoma, Pierce Co., WA Father: Capt. Abel BEERS (1790-1874), born and died in Fairfield Co., CT Mother: Lucretia DIMON (1796-1873), born and died in Fairfield Co., CT Some secondary sources have Rachael born in Baltimore, MD, but there's no indication of her being born there. Through five censuses, Rachael consistently gives her birthplace as CT. Nor is it logical for Rachael to have been born in MD because her parents were born in and died in Fairfield Co., CT. |
Children — born in Fairfield, Fairfield Co., CT: |
1. Robert Dimon HOSKINS, b. 3 Oct 1861; bap. 25 May 1863, St.
Andrew's Episcopal Church, Ann Arbor, Washtenaw Co., MI; d. 3 Jan 1946,
Bismarck, Burleigh Co., ND; three children including Henrietta "Etta" HOSKINS
(b. Mar 1890, ND)
2. George Gillespie HOSKINS, b. 4 Nov 1864; d. 31 Jan 1865 Orlando & Rachael are said to have lived in Fairfield the first five years of their marriage, then to have moved to Tacoma, WA. The censuses show they did not move to Tacoma until after the 1880 census, nor do I believe they ever "lived" in CT. If they had, Robert would have been baptized in CT, not in MI. It appears that Rachael went back to CT to be with her mother when birthing her children, which is not an unusual thing for a daughter to do, especially a prosperous one who could afford to travel. |
