Hosmer Genealogy HOSMER GENEALOGY DESCENDANTS OF JAMES HOSl\,IER WHO El\HGRATED TO AMERICA IN 1035 AND SETTLED IN CONCORD, J\'.lASS. BY GEORGE LEONARD HOSMER (2058) TECHNICAL CO!\IPOSITION COMP ANY CAl\-IBTIIDGE, JHASS. 1928 PREFACE The purpose of this book is lo present to the Hosmer family certain information about the ancestors and descendants of Jame,:; Hosmer which is now to be found only in scnttered records. It is not the work of an expert genealogist. It does not lay claim to literary merit or to any large amount of original work. Begun originally as a record of one srnall branch of the family, it has grown to include the entire "Concord Family." The work of collecting and arranging the data has been done amid the rush of other business and cannot tl1crefore be as accurate as though the author had devoted his entire time to it for a long period, as is quite necessary for a ·thorough piece of genealogical work. It cannot pretend to be complete, but it is hoped that it is i·eason­ ably accurate as far as it goes. There are t~o reasons for publishing the book in the present incomplete form instead of waiting until it is more fully developed. First, postponement is always risky; many manuscripts have been prepared but not printed, and later these valuable collections have been lost or have been placed where they are of use to but few. A book that is published, even if decidedly imperfect, is of greater use than a pile of manuscript. Second, information is in some instances difficult to obtain, especially where those who are in o, position to furnish it do not reu.Iize just what is uee<lcll and how importn.nt it is to send it promptly. When the whole work is before them the requiremeutij will be better understood, and the needful data n.re more likely to be forthcoming. No attempt has been made to give the personal history of any members of the family except o, small number whose achieve­ ments stand out prominently. The residence, occupation, nnd militn.ry service have been stated for each person for whom they are known. If there is uneven treatment of such notices, it is due not to favoritism but to n. lack of knowledge of the facts. To give credit to all who have furnished information and as­ sisted in the preparation of this genealogy would require the print­ ing of hundreds of names. A few, however, should be especially mentioned. The author has had access to the collections of George A. Gardner (1977), Charles M. Hosmer (1549), Henry J. Hosmer (1138), and George W. Hosmer (GOG) (the last two loaned by Professor Ralph S. Hosmer (2030)), and n. manmcript by George Lawrence Hosmer (1001), loaned by Mr. John A. Hosmer (1825). Mr. John· G. Hosmer (2228) furnished the iii JV Preface f>ntirc list of descendants of Nathaniel Hosmer (183). Records of the descendants of Josiah Hosmer (227) were taken from Hub­ bard's genealogy of that branch. Several well-known genealogies (Potter's "Concord Families," the Wl1it.e and Wood genealogies, and others) itnd many town histories have been searched for Hosmer records. The m1111bcring system employed here is similar to that used m many genc:dog;ies. The num.oer at the left of n person's name is ilic one assigned to that person the first time the name appenrs, and is used to identify him all through the book. When the name is repeated, this same number is given in parentheses after the nnme. The numbers to the right of the names of children refer to the later paragraphs in which further informfttion will be found. If the person in question had no children, the information about him will be found under his name and there will be no reference to a later paragraph. Following the name of each head of ft family is his line of descent, the superior numbers indicating the gen­ eration, Jamcs1 oeing the first in all cases. It is the author's intention to revise and correct this book if sufficient data can be obtained. In order to do this he should h:wc names in full, not initials; exact dates if possible; notices of errors (serious errors, such a,s confusing two persons of the snmc name, or minor errors of date, spelling, etc.); information about families that have moved away and been lost sight of; families thi1t have not as yet been traced back to the founder of this branch of the family. All persons interested are requested to send such information to the a.uthor. G. L. H.

Of the English genealogy of the Hosmer farnily only so much is given as would furnish n. background for i be story of the Hosrners in America. The genealogy of the English IIosrners would make a book in itself and would require a large amount of genealogical research in England. The Hartford family of Hosrners has not been included in this book, chiefly on account of the mag­ nitude of the undertaking, hut partly because of a bck of personal knowledge of the family. The genealogy of the Hartford branch could be much better written by some member of that family who could start out with an abundant supply of information. THE FAMILY NAME Our family name is found in the English and American records spelled in the following ways: Hosmer, Hosmerc, Hismer, Hismere, Hosmor, Hosmorc, Horsmcr, Osmer, Osmnr, Osmorc, Osmc:i.r, Osmire, :i.nd Usmer. The name has also been pronounced in v:i.rious ways, " Ozmorc " being quite common, nnd this pro­ nunciation is still heard today in some localities, such as north­ western Maine, and northern Vermont. From the spelling of the name in the early Boston records we may inf er that it wus some­ times so pronounced in this locality. Information ab-:mt the name Osmer will be found in \Veekly's "Surnames," page 33, and in Harrison's " Surnames of the United Kingdom,'' page M. OCCURRENCE OF THE NAME IN THE ANGLO-SAXON CHRONICLE In order to trace the family name as far back in history as it is possible to go, we shall present evidence to show that the Hosmc-rs probably ca.me from the Duchy of Sleswick (North Germany), south of Denmark, about the year 547 A. D., and settled along the cast coast of England; also that the family name occurs frequently in English records long before the time of ""illium the Conqueror. 1 2 II osmer Genealooy \Ve must, however, dcfcncl 011nwlvc·s ngainst nny nccmmtion of cxtrnvag:mt clai1m; to ancient fowily. lt is not a.n unheard-of thing in g;enealop;ics to find cnthusiitstic writcrn tracing their 1111ccstry back at least to Woden, aud claimiug relationship to many distinguished persons, when in reality the name itself is tl1c only evidence they have. As n matter of fact it is difficult to t,mcc\ fnrt.linr back than about the fif1.ePnt.h cP11l.11ry, nncl proh­ ably only n few farnilies nrc rL'ally able to do thi.-;. 'l'hc following quotations which cite the occurrence of the name in early English history must not, therefore, be taken as proof that the present Hosmer family is descended from the Osmers named therein; they may, however, be faken as giving n hint as to the place from which the family probably came. The history of the various Snxon invasions here quoted may be more, easily followed by referring to the map of the North Sea and £he surrounding countries (page 3). In Shn.ron Turner's " History of the Anglo-Saxons," Vol. I, Book Second, Chapter V, we read: In the days of Tacitus and Ptolemy the Angli may have been in West­ pb::ili::t or Mecklemburg, or elsewhere: but at the cm of the Saxon invasion they were resident in the district of Anglen, in the Duchy of Sleswick. The Duchy of Slcswick extends from the river Levcson, north of Kiel, to the Tol.icsket, 011 which _stands Colding; uut that particular position, which un ancient Saxon uuthor culls Old England, extends from the city of Sleswick to Flernsburg.

    JAMES KENDALL HOSMER HDT WHAT? INDEX JAMES KENDALL HOSMER REV. PROF. JAMES K. HOSMER 1635 In Concord, Samuel Swan rented the Wright Tavern to two bakers, Thomas Safford and Deacon Francis Jarvis. According to the Deacon’s son Dr. Edward Jarvis’s TRADITIONS AND REMINISCENCES OF CONCORD, MASSACHUSETTS 1779-1878 (as edited by Sarah Chapin and published in 1993 by the U of Massachusetts P): In 1790 my father [Deacon Francis Jarvis] with Thomas Safford took the bake house which was in the building that was the Wright Tavern in the Revolutionary War, opposite the Middlesex House, adjoining the tavern. Soon Mr. Safford went to Lancaster, and my father carried on the business until 1824 and lived in the house until 1832. He then bought and removed to the farm, lately the property of Col. John Buttrick, and lived there until he died in 1840. The farm was occupied by my brother the late Capt. Francis Jarvis until his death in 1875. Since then it has been owned and occupied by his children, Joseph Derby and wife, and Cyrus H. Jarvis. From the early years of his residence in the town my father owned and cultivated lands sufficient for a small farm in the center of Concord until he went to the Buttrick farm. My mother was Millicent Hosmer, daughter of James H[osmer], granddaughter of Stephen and great-granddaughter of Stephen, who were the descendants of James [Hosmer], one of the first settlers in Concord in 1635.

Winthrop makes no division into chapters. In this edition the text has, for the reader's convenience, been broken by headings repre- senting the years. These, however, in accordance with modern usage, have been set at the beginning of January, not at the date with which Winthrop began his year, the first of March.

  • Ritz-Carlton Montreal – a History Few Hotels in the World Are Inexorably
    Ritz-Carlton Montreal – A History Few hotels in the world are inexorably linked to the history of the cities where they are located. Ritz-Carlton Montreal is one of those hotels. For more than a century, the “Grand Dame of Sherbrooke Street” has been at the social heart of Montreal. Not only has the hotel welcomed illustrious guests for a century, it has been the place where eminent local Montrealers from the worlds of politics, literature, fashion, high society and the arts have come to meet over a glass of champagne or lunch in the garden. Important events in the history of Quebec have been discussed here, royalty have slept here, and weddings have been celebrated here. The hotel has proven itself able to adapt to changing times, always remaining a source of pride for the city. Perhaps it is because, from the very beginning, the hotel was built to the exacting standards of the legendary hotelier, César Ritz. The idea of a luxury hotel on Sherbrooke Street was the dream of four wealthy Montreal investors who felt the city needed a property fit to welcome the “carriage trade”. The hotel was to have been named The Carlton, until one of the investors, Charles Hosmer, suggested that the property would benefit from the input from his friend César Ritz. Ritz agreed to give the rights of his name to the hotel provided it included luxuries that were very rare at the time, including washrooms in every room. Other amenities that Ritz insisted upon were around-the-clock dining, an excellent concierge desk and most importantly – a grand staircase so that the ladies could make dramatic entrances in their gowns during formal functions.

    THE PEOPLE OF CONCORD:HORACE RICE HOSMER HORACE RICE HOSMER Horace Rice Hosmer, store clerk, inventor, pencil maker and salesman, painter, handyman, farmer, son of Joseph Hosmer (1735- 1821) and brother of Joseph Hosmer, Jr., the abolitionist, a schoolmate of the Thoreau brothers, whose farm a mile and a half north of Concord was used in the Underground Railroad. Young Horace himself attended the Concord Academy, where he was tutored by John Thoreau, Jr. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CONCORD: HORACE RICE HOSMER 1635 According to a still-extant fragment from the earliest Concord records, it was “Ordered that the meeting-house stande on the hill near the brook on the easte of Goodman Judgson’s lott.” Public Buildings — Meeting-houses. — To provide suitable accommodations for public religious worship, was one of the first acts of the town after its incorporation. And hence we find it recorded in a fragment of the proceedings of the town in 1635 — “Ordered that the meeting-house stande on the hill near the brook on the easte of Goodman Judgson’s lott.” Tradition informs us, that this was on the hill some distance easterly from the common. This house served as a place of worship about 30 years. ... A town bell was procured very early, but at what time does not appear. At first it was hung on a tree, and its tones are said to have been terrible to the neighboring Indians. About 1696 it was broken, and sent to England to be recast. In 1700 it was “hanged on the meeting-house in the turret,” where it remained till the court-house was built, on which it was placed til 1791, when it was removed to the meeting- house.

    300 PRINCESS STREET CANADIAN FAIRBANKS-MORSE COMPANY WAREHOUSE City of Winnipeg Historical Buildings & Resources Committee Researcher: M. Peterson June 2015 300 PRINCESS STREET – CANADIAN FAIRBANKS-MORSE COMPANY WAREHOUSE Winnipeg in the early 1890s was on the verge of a spectacular era of growth, development and maturity that would almost completely change the City by World War I. But this comprehensive growth followed patterns established a decade earlier and resulted in specific districts within city boundaries even after this frenzied period of growth. The real estate and construction boom of the early 1880s was intimately connected to the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) around Winnipeg and onto the western prairies. Land prices in the small capital city skyrocketed, the population soared and solid brick structures began replacing the small wooden shacks that dotted the mud streets and avenues. Perhaps more important, however, was the beginning of the segregation of the various sectors of the city – residential, commercial and industrial – and their specific buildings.1 The huge advance in land prices along Main Street north of Portage Avenue necessitated the replacement of the earlier residential development (Plate 1) with large commercial structures. Investors chose to locate near one of the most important buildings, City Hall, from which would come assistance in advancing both singular business interests and those of the community at large. Commercial interests, both local and from Eastern Canada, were quick to locate in this area. The city rapidly assumed the role of wholesale hub for all of Western Canada. Companies like R.J. Whitla, Stobart, Eden and Company, George D.
