Origin of Hosford or meaning
Nancy Hosford 9/15/00
The other lady was somewhat right about the name it has been in the past spelt HORSEFORDE / HORSFORD and now Hosford. As to the origin of the name as for the ones that come form William Horsford / Hosford of Connecticut it is of English Origin. If I am not mistaken it mean a place where a Horse can Ford a river hens Horsford and I also believe that there was a home place that was near a river in Dorst, England that the family was from. If you'd like I cn read more and fine out for sure as I have the Horford Family Genealogy Book at hand.
Please E-mail me at my address and will be more than happy to do so.
Yours Reni
