General Notes: Husband - Timothy Hosmer
He was a pioneer of Avon, Livingston County, New York. His son William T. left this record of him: "I shall only refer back to the part he took in the Revolution. He entered the service as surgeon to Meigs' regiment in the Connecticut line, and continued in the service, I believe, until the close of the Revolution. After peace, he continued the practice of physic in Farmington, Connecticut, until he took up his residence in Avon, March, 1793. My father with four others purchased the township of Avon for two shillings and eight pence per acre. He removed from Farmington in February, 1793, and arrived at Avon in the fore part of March following, and Genesee River was then the western boundary of civilization in America in this latitude, if we except the settlements made by the French among the Indians.
At the organization of the county of Ontario, my father was appointed one of the Judges, and as the office of first Judge became vacant he was appointed chief, or first Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and continued in office until that age of his life by which he was constitutionally disqualified."
