Don't know if you have checked Hinshaw's for your Hosier family before, but
I found the following under "Hoser."

Hopefully this will be of some help to you. Looks like you'll need to be
creative in your spelling of Hosier. Can't say if William & Mary were
Lewis' parents, more likely William is a brother to Lewis.

Also, I've hit a brick wall; the earliest ancestor I've found is Lewis
Hosier, born in North Carolina in 1775. Any suggestions on how to find his
parents?
