Plymouth Colony Records, 1:107 record the following on Ann. "Ann Hinde, the wife of William Hoskins, aged 25 years or thereabouts, deposed in a case between John Darbey and John Chipman... that the said Ann lived in the house of Mr. Darbeye's father with the said John Chipman at such time as the said John Chipman came from thence to New England to serve Mr. Richard Darbey, his brother; and that the said Ann came afterward likewise over to serve the said Richard Darbey."

On 12th March 1641 Ann Hinde, wife of William Hoskins, aged 25, made a deposition (order recorded 7 June 1655). She stated that in England she lived in Mr. Darby's house at the same time with John Chipman, who cameover to serve Mr. Richard Darby. The Darby family lived in Sterthill in the parish of Burton-Bradstock, CO Devon, which points to the origin of Ann Hinde (see NEHGS "Register"79, p. 443".)

His wife Anne had a feud with Hester, wife of John Rickard . On 1 March1663/4 Anne, the wife of William Hoskins was fined 20 shillings "for speaking most laviuiouse and filthy language" to Hester, but Hester held up to her end of the controversy and was fined the same amount. This did not end the feud, for on 2 December 1665 Ann was sued for saying that Hester was "as drunk as a bitch" and had been drinking with a man in a tavern. Anne acknowledged her fault and withdrew her charges and was dismissed without a fine.

She came to this country as an indentured servant of Christopher Derby, transferred to his son Richard.
