The second _Great Migration_ series by R.C. Anderson, 3:414-20, contains a sketch of this immigrant, stating his parents were Henry and Anne (Winthrop) Hoskins of Ireland -- the mother was a cousin of the Winthrops who went to New England. Anderson quotes from a letter in the Winthrop papers in which Anne Hoskins writes from Ireland to the Governor in New England asking for news of her son.
Anne's mother (wife or mistress of her father John Winthrop of Aghadown, Ireland) is shown in this pedigree as Elizabeth daughter of Thomas Powlden:

Unsure why _Evidences of the Winthrops_ doubts the validity of the Winthrop-Powlden marriage. It seems the father's divorced first wife also remarried (to Reynold Braunch).
Just wanted to point out that Geni contains links which permit the following pedigree for Elizabeth (Powlden) (Winthrop) Nott, apparent mother of Anne (Winthrop) Hoskins:
Robert Wingfield = Elizabeth Goushill
Anne Wingfield = John Fremingham/ Framlingham
https://www.geni.com/people/Lady-Anne-Wingfield/6000000000462683105
Sir James Framlingham = Alice Walworth
Elizabeth Framlingham = Thomas Roberts of Cranbrook, Kent
https://www.geni.com/people/Elizabeth-Roberts/6000000000462711148
Mary Roberts = Thomas Cheney of Woodhey
Dorothy Cheney = Thomas Polden/ Powlden of Rathgogan, Ireland
https://www.geni.com/people/Dorothy-Polden/6000000003649717135
I had independently come to the conclusion that Elizabeth Powlden's apparent father Thomas Powlden of Rathgogan had a son Morgan Powlden or Polden. See ...

Notice that the Geni account states that a 1644 petition by Morgan Polden named his parents "as Thomas Polden of Iwerne Minster, Dorset & Dorothy Cheney of Woodhay, Berkshire [daughter of Thomas Cheney, of Woodhay, Berkshire]." Geni states Thomas Powlden or Polden was son of an earlier Morgan Polden in Dorsetshire, so the name "Morgan" for his own son makes sense.
One of the Berkshire Visitations shows Dorothy (Cheney), wife of Thomas Polden one generation further down in the Cheney pedigree, though still retaining the descent from the Roberts family.

I realize it could be the case, given the possible uncertainty of the Powlden-Winthrop marriage, that Anne Hoskins was John Winthrop's daughter by another relationship.
But does anyone see anything else obviously wrong with the line?
