- Christopher Osgood, of Ipswich, Essex County, Mass.; died 1650; married, first, at St. Mary's, Marlborough, England, 21 April, 1632, Mary Everatt, who was buried 21 April, 1633; married, second, at St. Mary's, Marlborough, England, 28 July, 1633, Margery, daughter of Philip and Mary (Winsley or Winslow) Fowler, baptized 25 May, 1615, at Marlborough, Wiltshire, England; she married, second, soon after 1650, Thomas Rowell, of Salisbury, who was one of the original proprietors of Salisbury in 1639; married, third, Thomas Coleman, prior to 1670, who died in Nantucket; married, fourth, Thomas Osborne, of Nantucket.
After the decease of Christopher Osgood, his son Christopher sold out the estate left him by his father in Ipswich, and moved to Andover, where dwelt the children of John Osgood. Thomas Osgood, brother of Christopher Osgood, also settled in Andover. These brothers in some records are erroneously called sons of John.

- Christopher Osgood and wife Margaret [elsewhere Margery] came to New England in the "Mary and John" from London, 24 March, 1633-34. On this vessel were also the parents of Margaret [elsewhere Margery] Osgood, Philip and Mary Fowler. They all settled in Ipswich, being among the earliest there. His grants of land there in 1635 adjoined those of his father-in-law.
In the parish church of St. Thomas in Salisbury, Wilts, occurs the following:
"1599. October. X. pofer Osgood married to Eliz. Brockwell, the 30."
"In the registry of wills, at Salisbury, is that of Elizabeth Osgood, widow, dated June 18, 1612, and proved the same year. She desires to be buried in the churchyard of St. Thomas, and names her son Mathew Mayland, Margaret, wife of Edward Noble, Priscilla Hicks, son-in-law Thomas Roberts, and friends John Hicks and John Upton.
"I am indebted to Mr. Harrison, of the College of Arms, for the following copy of a pedigree in a private collection there. He says, in transmitting it, that he believes Christopher was the name of the father of Christopher, William and Mary, and as the name is an uncommon one, I would suggest that Christopher of Salisbury was father of Christopher of Marlborough and grandfather of Christopher of Ipswich.
"It would appear from the pedigree that this branch of the family is extinct in England, in the male line.
"On referring to the parish register of St. Mary's in Marlborough, Wilts, which begins in 1602, I find the following entries:
Baptized, 1632-3, March 17, Mary, daughter of Christopher Osgood.
Married 1632, April 21, Christopher Osgood and Mary Everatt.
Married 1633, July 28, Christopher Osgood and Margery Fowler.
Buried 1633, April 21, Mary Osgood."

- 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.
