    Note on Find a Grave:
    Son of Ezekiel & Rebecca (Wardwell) Osgood.

    Married Dorothy Wardwell (1st cousin) on May 21, 1739 at Andover, Mass.
    Married Elizabeth Abbott on January 4, 1753 at Andover, Mass.

    Samuel Osgood was one of a committee of 5 (Capt John Farnum, Mr. Nehemiah Abbot, Capt Asa Foster, and Samuel Holt) appointed on May 17, 1773, to prepare the instructions to Andover's representative in the Massachusetts General Court in response to a letter from the Committee of Correspondence of Boston.

    He was one of a committee of 5 (Samuel Phillips, Esq., Capt Asa Foster, Joshua Holt, and Dr. Joseph Osgood) appointed on February 3, 1774, to respond to another letter from the Boston Committee of Correspondence regarding the arrival of tea in East India Ships with instructions that none of the tea could be unloaded unless the duty was paid. Andover decided to forward the "Resolves" from Philadelphia as expressive of their own sentiments and delivered a copy to the Boston Committee.

    Samuel Osgood was appointed to a "Committee to Promote Circumspection" to take into account "the depressing Difficulties (by virtue of the "intolerable" Acts) to which this province has already been reduced and others that are impending over it" and to propose a form of covenant concerning non-importation to be subscribed to by the people of Andover. The Covenant was an important step toward the break with Great Britain.

    Children (w/Dorothy): Rebecca, Samuel, Eliakim, Dorothy, Hannah.

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Christopher Osgood was born in 1606 in Newton Tony, Wiltshire Unitary Authority, Wiltshire, England; died in 1650 in Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts; was buried in Old Burying Ground, Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts.

    Other Events:

    • Immigration: Came to New England in the "Mary and John" from London, 24 March, 1633-34
    • Occupation: brickmaker
    • Residence: Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts

    Notes:

    Note on Find a Grave:
    Christoper was baptized in Newton Tony on Apr. 17, 1606. The baptism record shows his father as Thomas Osgood. He died in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts Bay Colony sometime between the date of his will, April 19, 1650, and when his will was proven, October 10, 1650. He is assumed to be buried in the Old North Burial Ground in Ipswich, but no marker or burial record has been found.

    Christopher was most likely born to Thomas and Margaret (Skeat) Osgood in the village of Newton Tony, Wiltshire, England, which is about 9 miles N/E of Salisbury. This is based on the article, "New Light on the English Background of the Osgoods of Essex County, Massachusetts", published in The American Genealogist, Jan/Apr 2008.

    Another popular candidate for Christopher's father has been Robert (or Christopher) Osgood of Wherwell, Hampshire, England. This appears to be based on the fact that Robert's son by an earlier marriage, John, and his younger half brother, William, briefly stayed with Christopher when they arrived in the New World. Although they were probably related, no documentation has been found supporting that they were brothers (see, Anderson's Great Migration Study Project for more).

    Christopher married 1st Mary Evarett (or Evarard) on April 23, 1632 in St. Mary's Parish Church in Marlborough, Wiltshire, England. She died in Marlborough on April 21, 1633, shortly after giving birth to their daughter, Mary (linked below). She was buried at St. Mary's.

    He married 2nd Margaret Fowler, daughter of Phillip and Mary (Winslow) Fowler, in St. Mary's on July 28, 1633. They immigrated with his daughter, Mary, and Margaret's parents, to the New World on the ship, "Mary and John", which sailed from Southampton. They arrived at Salem in May 1634 and settled in Ipswich where he became a freeman in May 1635. He was a brickmaker. John and William arrived on the "Confidence" in 1638, along with daughter Mary's future husband, John Lovejoy (among others).

    Christopher and Margaret had five children in Ipswich: Abigail, Elizabeth, Deborah (who married John Russ), Christopher and Thomas. They, with Mary, are shown in Christopher's will.

    After Christopher died in 1650, Margaret married three more times, to Deacon Thomas Rowell, with whom she had issue, and to Thomas Coleman and Thomas Osborne. Her date of death and burial location are unknown.
