Philippa bore ten children, four of whom married grandchildren of original Colony members, and son John married Deborah, daughter of Peter Brown of Plymouth. John Hosford was a member of a troop of 37 horsemen, first in the Colony, organized by the General Court and commanded by Capt. John Mason. John is mentioned in the records of Old Windsor as a carpenter, a master work-man at building houses. John Hosford's will shows: To his son, William, 225 pounds, John, 121 pounds, daus. Hester, Mary and Sarah, 100 pounds each, and to Obadiah, 122 pounds (Col.Rec.). John Hosford was given by William Thrall, the fifty acres granted the older man for his services in the first Pequod War. John Hosford was the son of Elder Wm. Hosford, who also came on the "Mary and John". Elder Hosford left his land and house to his son John Hosford upon returning to England.
