Hello

My 3 x great grandparents, Robert Hosie and Agnes Gilmour had about 13 children and it is from their line that a Christina Reid Hosie figures in my family tree. Unfortunately, an error occurred in my family tree on my computer, but I think Robert and Agnes are either the grandparents or great grandparents of Christina. I'll have to sort my tree out when I get a bit more time. Hope to hear from you.

I am researching the Hosie family in Australia. I would be grateful if I could see your family tree on Ancestry. I am trying to connect my family with others that I have found. Your tree might fill in a lot of gaps that I have. I do have Robert Hosie and Agnes Gilmour in my tree but not sure if we are related as yet. thankyou

I live in Lancaster,Pa the Hosie part of my family is in Missouri and Mississippi. Anybody connected to that line on here? Would love to connect the dots.

In Pa the term of "hosey yourself a chair" is familiar, but not shared by my family. Something people use from up North that have settled down here.

All I know is that my grandfather was from Scotland, his name was Jocque (james) hosie, and was married to Alice. Anyone know anything, you should get back to me.

My name is Danielle Hosie, daughter of a John Hosie Jr and sister of John Hosie 3rd. We live in St. Louis, Missouri. We're all good people and have a good family. I've been wondering what the name means though. I wish we were living in Scotland, but it's good we spread our greatness around the world. :)

I'm another hosie, this time from New Zealand. Most of my direct family lives in either New Zealand and Austrailia (mainly around the Brisbane area).

Alot of the above, including the history with William the Conquerer and the Coat of arms and crest is what's mentioned and shown in an old 'family bible' we have, so this was an interesting read.

Our Hosie's came from the Montrose area of Scotland, My research led to three conclusions: First: the name came from the Norman overlord, de Hosey. Second: there is a separate and distinct family of Hosie's originating from a village at the head of many of the Lochs in Scotland. (Our Hosie's descend from Alexander, a blacksmith, who objected to oppression by the landlord and emmigrated to Ontario, Canada early in the 20th Century and became an auto mechanic.) Third: Surnames were brought in by Henry 8th, 1500s. Since surnames of commoners often were drawn from their occupation, it may be that one family at the head of each inlet,loch, knitted and marketed 'hose' which were worn by everyone in those days. They were long, over the knee, and were held up by a knitted garter.
In Canada, a 'hoser' is a comical,derogatory nickname thought to come from the practice of getting free gas for your car by using a short rubber hose to syphon off the gas in other people's gas tanks. So, it is similar to the Eastern U.S. 'hosey' meaning get yourself something.

Our Hosie's descend from Alexander, a blacksmith of the Montrose area of Scotland, who emmigrated when oppression by the local landlord became too much. He settled in Toronto, Canada as a car mechanic and built up his business there.
My research indicates four points: the name may have originated with the Norman overlord, de Hosey, in the 11th C.; surnames were mandated by Henrty 8th in the 1500s; surnames were often drawn from the occupation so they may have knitted the long hose worn at that time by everyone; unrelated Hosie families seem to come from every little town at the head of each inlet or loch in Scotland .

Below I reposted a listing by Patsy (Pat) Edgeworth. She is seeking information on certain family members. I have been able to resolve most of her questions BUT I am hitting a wall on the following:

1.) Will E. Hosey (First name was Walter I assumed middle inital stands for Edward last name Hosey) was indeed from Scotland. I guessimated his between 1866 or 1876 since military reocrds show his age as either 22 or 32 when he enlisted. I am more inclined to believe it was 1866 since this would make him younger then his wife (Eliza Pack b.1870). I found he served in Spanish American War, died in 1910 according to military records and that Eliza recv a pension starting in 1930 for his service. Not sure WHY the pension started 20 years after his death. I assume his Grand Father had to be named John Henry Hosey since Will E. first born male (John Henry b.1900) was called that. That is the custom in Europe in naming your offspring. I cannot find anything about his parents. I was told he might have died working for the Railroad in either NC or VA but can find nothing. Military records say place of death was Greenwood SC. earch of all grave sites - Nothing. Only links to that name in Greenville with Willie and W.E. Hosey. Could be he was placed in a searched grave again the custom in Europe but lack any proof. I need help filling in the blanks on him.

2.) The 2 daughters of Eliza & Will. Placed in orphanage home in Cedartown GA. I lack anything!!! I do not even have their first names. Apparently they are not twins. I estimated they had to be born after the birth of eldest brother John (1900) and before Will E was alleged to have died according to military records (1910). I researched such homes an found "The Sunshine Cottage" which operated back in early 1900's till it merged with the now "Murphy-Harpst". This place served girls only, appearently lost records due to a fire. I am told brother John made and worked in/around Cedartown for then Wright & Lopez" construction. I wrote them and they lack records back that far. I need help finding anything on these 2 girls.

3.) Infant Hosey. It was stated that Eliza & Will had an infant son who died. I found ANOTHER son linked to them via death certificate with name "Willie" who died at age 19! This guy was never mentioned. BUT the death cert shows his parents as W.E. Hosey & Eliza Pack! Close to this burial site is a W.E. Hosey (infant) but date of burial was 1921! No other info is provided and this could not work since Father Will was alleged to have died in 1910! If he did not then his wife Eliza would have been 50-51 when this infant was born. Not likely. Need help on this one to fill the blanks

If ANYBODY can offer any light on the above I would much appreciate it

Hi - My name is Patsy Hosey Edgeworth.I'm am looking for any info about my Father, John Henry Hosey, who was born around the turn of the 1900's and diedFeb. 1961. His Mother was Eliza Pack Hosey, he had a baby brother who died as an infant, and two younger sisters, who were put in an orphan home in Cedar Town, GA. I was told that his Mother was an Indian raised by a white family,and I know Daddy and the other three children were of her second marriage, but don't know the men's, even his own, Daddy's names. I believe my Dad's daddy was killed working for the railroad in either NC or Virginia, but I am his only child, who is now age 73, and everytime I have tried to find out info, it just seems to hit a brick wall.I also know he had a step-sister, named Bertha, from his Mom's first marriage, but she and her husband died in a fire in either the 1940's or early 50's. My Father, his Mother, and Bertha and her husband are all buried here, in Greenville, S.C. Daddy was in the Navy, toward the end of WW1, worked for the telephone company both in NC and the longest, here in Greenville, SC. His wife, my Mother, was named Thelma Cochran Hosey, her people were all from GA. They tell me, I'm the last of his generation, might be!!, but would like to find out.Patsy Hosey EdgeworthApril 20, 2008"

The name was originally spelt HOSEA, thats what I have found going back as far as I can, All in the Aberdeenshire area. James HOSIE, my grandfather died in Auckland, New Zealand. Glad to know there are still people out there with the name HOSIE.

I believe that most Hosie's and Hosey's are froms of the name Hussey. There are two main origins to the name. 1) Norman. The Norman De Hose family (later spelled as Hussee and Hussey) came into England with William the Conqueror and were Barons and Knights in various parts of England, including Kent, Lincolnshire, Somerset, Staffordshire etc This family remained in England (with smaller numbers in Wales and Scotland), and later some emigrated to the US, Canada, Australia etc. One of the English Norman Hussey's, Hugh Hussey from Staffordshire came to Ireland in 1172 and received lands in Meath and he is the progenitor of most of the Norman Hussey's in Ireland. some families did spell the name Hosey also. the root word is Hose and the word Hose, as in water Hose and also Hosiery comes from our name as far as I know. The majority of Hussey's, Huzzey's, Hosey's and Hosie's world wide I believe descend from this original Norman family who came into England with the Norman invasion. then 2) there is a totally different unrelated Gaelic Irish family called O'hEodhusa who were bards (poets) to the Maguire Clan in County Fermangh and who were later called O'Hussey when the name was anglicised. This Irish family would not have the same DNA connection as the Anglo-Norman Hussey family, but today they share the same name. and some of these Irish O'Hussey's were also called O'Hosey, subsequent to the 1600/1700's most of those Gaelic Irish Hussey's dropped the O' from the name. So in Ireland some Hussey's are Norman and some are of Gaelic origin. The Hussey's in Meath, Dublin, Kildare and Kerry are mostly Norman and Hussey's found elsewhere, esp in the West and parts of the midlands could be Gaelic O'Hussey's. DNA is the only way to figure it out. I am a Hussey from County Westmeath in Ireland and I had always thought I was probably a Norman Hussey, but after doing my Ancestry DNA test and seeing Ulster as a main area where my family came from and after connecting with a Hussey who feels that our family are from the O'Hussey lot now I think I might be from the old bardic family of Fermanagh/Tyrone.
