• Documents		Wanted smart intelligent boy 1877 "Super creepy advertisement by Stuart Hoskinson essentially selling his 8 year old son Harry; "A smart, intelligent boy, eight years of age, wishes to procure a home with some respectable family in the country. He is large and stout of his age, and fully able to do all the ordinary chores about a place. The object is to secure a good home for him, where he can receive kind treatment and schooling. S. F. HOSKINSON"
  		Manifest for steamship Dakota 1875 A VERY interesting article. Indicates that Martha, Stewart Hoskinson and family were in Puget Sound, Washington Territory in 4 Nov 1875. "The following is the list of passengers of the steamship Dakota, which leaves here at 9 o'clock totnigh...Mrs. Hoskinson and infant,...S. F. Hoskinson and two children..." The infant is perhaps David Hill, whom Riley and Martha adopt at some point. He first appears with the family at age 9 in the 1883 Washington Territory census. He would have been an in fact in 1875. The two children with Stewart are presumably his sons Harry and Charles. The article is interesting because tit was published one day before the first ad for selling the Hoskinson farm in Kansas appears in the Osage County Chronicle 5 Nov 1875. The farm did not sell until 1876. Also articles written by Riley Hoskinson appearing in the The Osage County Chronicle in Dec 1876 state the family did not leave Kansas until late Oct, early Nov 1876, and then to move to California not Seattle.
