Philip GOSSBorn 18 Nov 1720 Lancaster, Worchester Co., MA, died 04 Apr 1804 Winchester, Cheshire Co, NH, 83 years Notes There has been great confusion regarding this Philip Goss married to Hannah Ball. Some sources confuse this Philip with one married to Mary Kendall and who died from an attack by Indians in Luzerne,PA in 1778. Both Philips are ultimately related to Philip of Roxbury born in 1650. But one is descended through Philip's first wife Hannah, and the other through his second wife, Mary Prescott. 7.
