  Census	28 Jul 1870	Burlingame Township, Osage Co., KS   [4]
  	Edith Garrison apparently adopted by Riley and Martha (Fisher) Hoskinson because she is found living with the family at age two in this census and travels with the family from this census on.

  Census	04 Jun 1880	Port Blakely, Kitsap Co., WA   [6]
  		Census: 1880 U.S. - Port Blakely, Kitsap Co., WA Roll: T9_1397; Family History Film: 1255397; Page: 314.2000; Enumeration District: 35
  Census	Feb 1883	Port Blakely, Kitsap Co., WA   [7]
  	Unclear who C. J. Hoskinson is. Age and initials do not fit any of Riley and Martha's children. Could be a spouse of William. David apparently adopted by Riley and Martha (Fisher) Hoskinson because he joins family in this census and remains with the family through subsequent censuses.
  		Census: 1883 Washington State - Port Blakely, Kitsap Co., WA Roll: V228_9, p. 16
  Census	Feb 1885	Port Blakely, Kitsap Co., WA   [8]
  	Mary E. Hoskinson is apparently Mary E. (Towler) Hoskinson, wife of William.
  		Census: 1885 Washington State - Port Blakely, Kitsap Co., WA Roll: V228_9, Page: 22
  Census	Mar 1887	Port Blakely, Kitsap Co., WA   [9]
  	Third name is hard to read. Looks like S. F. which age and birthplace suggests would be Riley and Martha's eldest son Stewart Hoskinson.
  		Census: 1887 Washington State - Port Blakely, Kitsap Co., WA, Roll: V228_9, p. 6
  Census	1889	Port Blakely, Kitsap Co., WA   [10]
  	This census very hard to read due to poor image quality. The fourth name in listing of Hoskinsons is especially difficult but could read Stewart which would fit with the 1887 Washington State census entry where it looks like Stewart also appears. Regarding occupations and birth places, the census taker appears to skipped an earlier line resulting in items being misaligned with the Hoskinson names. I have corrected the error in this listing. Census must have been taken before April because it includes Martha who died in April 1899.

  Died	11 Apr 1899  [1]
