    Other Events:

    • Name: Phillury Thrall
    • Reference Number: 5934

    Notes:

    The Thrall Genealogy states William Thrall of Windsor had at least two sons, Timothy and David. John Winthrop, in his genealogical journal mentions that John Hosfords wife is the brother of Timothy Thrall of Windsor.(TAG 1948 p112)

    NEHGS has entry under search of cemetery transcriptions (but doesn't show which cemetery??): John Hosford d. May 1868, m. Phillury 5 Nov 1657, dau of William Thrall, d. 7 Aug 1683

    NEHGS- from "The Descendants of Benjamin Cooley": John Hosford, b. prob England, d. Aug 7, 1693(Savage d. Nov or May 8, 1698, Stiles) m. Nov 5, 1657, Philippa (Phillury) Thrall, dau William who was among the first settlers of Dorchester. William Thrall served in the Pequot war, and d. Aug 3, 1679, age 73. His wife d. 30 Dec 1676.

    Phillipi Hosford is mentioned in the will of William Thrall. Also Philippi's child, Sarah Hosford is mentioned in the will. See will notes under William Thrall.

    Most online trees show Philippa dying on 7 Aug 1683, the same date her husband died. But that is not correct. His probate file shows his widow Philippa as one of the administrators of his estate, so obviously she could not have died on the same date as him.
