In 1778 Joseph and Hannah Hoskins moved to Guilford County from Chester County, Pennsylvania, and purchased 150 acres of land here from James Ross. During the Battle of Guilford Courthouse on March 15, 1781, the British army formed its first battle lines across New Garden Road and the Hoskins' fields. Although no original buildings from the battle stand today at Tannenbaum Historic Park, a British army surveyor's map of the battle depicts two buildings on Joseph Hoskins' farm.HM Number | HMNAW |
