 Sir Edmund (Edmond) Hoskins, Inner Temple, serjeant at law, was a good friend of both [[MRP: Elizabeth Dallison|Elizabeth Dallison]] and [[MRP: Sir George Oxenden|Sir George Oxenden]], as was his wife, Elizabeth, a merchant’s daughter.  Hoskins provided legal counsel to Elizabeth on one of Oxenden’s suits (in 1662 and 1663), and consistently refused to accept any fees for his services.  Elizabeth told Sir George “hee hath all á long gon w:th us in our busyeness & is very Cordiall & zealous for you.”<ref>This is the footnote text</ref>

 The Hoskins family one generation back was from Monmouthshire, with Charles Hoskins, the father of Sir Thomas Hoskins, was originally  “of Trefynwy, Monmouthshire”, but accumulating his wealth as a merchant tailor in London. He married to Anne Engler, of “Reigate, Surrey,” and acquired large estates in Surrey and Kent.  He does not appear to be related, or at least closely related, to an earlier serjeant-at-law, John Hoskins (1566-1638), born in Herefordshire and appointed serjeant-at-law in 1623, or to John Hoskin’s grandson, Sir John Hoskins, who was a master in Chancery

+==Oxted, Surrey manor==
 The manor of Oxted was purchased in 1597 or 1598 by Charles Hoskins, a merchant taylor of London, who was Sir Edmund Hoskins' grandfather.  In his will this Charles Hoskins describes himself as "gentleman, of Oxted, in the county of Surrey."  Edmund himself was born in this property, which his father, Sir Thomas Hoskins, had inherited as the eldest son from his father.  The Oxted property was passed on to Charles Hoskins, Sir Edmund’s elder brother.  This Charles is reported to have married Anne Hales of King’s Walden, Hertfordshire, and to have had nine children, the eldest surviving being William Hoskins.  She predeceased him.

 Charles, Sir Edmund Hoskins' elder brother, built up the Oxted estate through the purchase of the Barrow Green estate in Oxted in 1650.  The records of this estate and of the Hoskins family are in the Surrey History Centre archives.  Late seventeenth century maps of both the Surrey and Kent lands of the Hoskins are available at the SHC archives.

 Sir Edmund Hoskins married Elizabeth Harby (ca.1620–1688), daughter of Sir Job Harby, in 1637.  They had four known children – Thomas, Job, Nathaniel, and William.  Elizabeth outlived him, and subsequently married [[MRP: Francis Coventry|Francis Coventry]], a maternal cousin of her deceased husband.  Sir Edmond Hoskins family links with the Coventry family are likely to have served him well following the Restoration, with both Henry Coventry and William (later Sir William) Coventry being advanced in state service by the monarch.  A year before Hoskins' death he was involved with Francis and William Coventry, together with Anthony Lord Ashley-Cooper, brother-in-law to the Coventries, in a property transaction.

 Following Elizabeth Dallison’s death [[MRP: Sir Henry Oxenden|Sir Henry Oxenden]] had much contact with with Lady Hoskins and Francis Coventry and wrote to Sir George in ?November 1667: “M:r Frances Coventry  w:th his lady, y:e lady Hoskins, have often been w:th xxxx [mee?] earnestly intreat yo:w to be kinde & helpful to their son Thomas, & have prayed me to be solliciter to yo:w one yt behalfe, she is now I think content he should stay in India till yo:w come home”

+==Purchase of Carshalton mansion==
 In 1655 Edmund Hoskins purchased a mansion or manor house in Carshalton, Surrey, called Mascalls. The mansion predated 1543, with a recent article in London Archaeology (2004, Spring) suggesting the manor house dated originally from the fourteenth centuy (ca. 1300-1350).  However, the article was unable to determine whether there was building continuity between this late medieval building and the building acquired by Edmond Hoskins in 1655.  Other nineteenth century topographical sources state that Mascalls was later renamed Carshalton Park House. There is no surviving image of Mascalls from the sixteenth, seventeenth or eighteenth centuries.  A watercolour of "Carshalton Park, seat of George Taylor, Esq." by John Hassell dated 1822 is in the Surrey History Centre archives, but it is unclear whether this is a heavily modified Mascalls, or a new building, possibly on a slightly different site. The ambitious building plans of Sir William Scawen, who had purchased Mascalls from Sir Edmund Hoskins’ son John Hoskins, did not come to fruition.  Scawen himself had multiple buildings in Carshalton, and used Stone Court as his main residence, rather than the manor house.
