India Chambers Hoskins and John Wesley Hoskins were my Great Grandparents. Their daughter Hope was my grandmother (she passed away DEC 1996). Once her father passed away India disappeared leaving Hope and Joan in an orphanage, Nina stayed with Sarah Jane until her young death. Hope and Joan were raised by Aunt Vicey Price (Sarah Jane's sister). My grandmother can remember seeing her mother only a few times after her father's death. There are no records of India. Our family has tried to search for her several times.

India married John Wesley Hoskins. John was born 1886, Leslie Co. KY; died 06 May 1919, Mingo Co. WV. [Group Sheet]
