Windsor Pilgrims

John and Thomas Hoskins, father and son, arrived from England on the Mary and John in 1630 and were members of the Dorcester party that settled Windsor north of the Rivulet in 1632. Goodman John Hoskins served as a delegate to Connecticut's General Court in 1637, married Ann Filer, raised four children here, and died in 1648. Thomas married Elizabeth Gaylord Birge, raised one child, and died in 1666. John's great grandson built the present house in 1750, before the American Revolution, and the farm passed down through generations of the Hoskins family until 1822.
