the records were obtained, and who reserves all rights of republication. We wish to thank W.
E. Osborn, Esq., of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., for the clue which led to the discovery of these records.
The data from parish registers and wills were obtained by Miss Lydia M. Marshall, of Newbury,
Berkshire, England.

The identity of Thomas Osborne, an early settler of New Haven, Conn., will be established by
the following records. It has long been known that he was a tanner and that he had sons
named Thomas (born 1622 by stated age at death), Jeremy or Jeremiah, John, Stephen,
Joseph, and Benjamin (born in New Haven). The recent discovery shows that a Thomas
Osborne,
[Page] 249
also, a tanner, had the following sons baptized at Ashford, Kent: Thomas (1622), Jeremy,
Richard (died young), John, Stephen, and Joseph, the last-named born 1636, after which
Thomas and his family disappear from English records. The identity of trade, and five
sons with identical names, born at suitable dates, cannot be dismissed as coincidental,
and we feel no hesitancy in claiming that we have here the origin of the American family.

Other Goatly wills in Kent outside of Ashford were examined, without finding mention of Osborn
connections.
On the basis of the foregoing records, the following
pedigree of the family has been arranged.
[Please note: This transcriber has added a Reference section and surname OSBORNE with the
first name of the descendants, which was previously assumed. The surname was generally
spelled OSBORNE while in England, but seems to be used as OSBORN in many records in
the new world - USA. Also, a couple of the first names were spelled differently referring to the
same person, so I added the alternate spelling in brackets. Most brackets in this transcription
were added by this transcriber.]

====================================================================================
Generation 3
3. Thomas OSBORNE, baptism not found, but born probably 1594-5, as his cousin Thomas Osborne
[Osbond] (baptized 4 Apr. 1595), son of his uncle John, was probably the “nephew Thomas Osborne
the younger” named in Jeremy’s will [A 62 (118) - p 251]. Jeremy’s son Thomas was therefore
probably a trifle older.
The question is whether it was this Thomas or his cousin who was the emigrant [to Connecticut in the
USA]. The circumstantial evidence favors the son of Jeremy. John Osborne was a tanner, but we do
not know whether his son Thomas followed that trade or not. We do know from Jeremy’s will that his
son Thomas was a tanner. The names which Thomas bestowed on his sons are evidential. If he
was son of Jeremy, the eldest son was named Thomas for himself, the next Jeremy for his father, the
next Richard for his brother, the next John, perhaps for his uncle, the next Stephen, a favorite Puritan
name, and Joseph, his last child born in England, for his brother. If the father of these sons was the
son of John, he waited until his fourth son to name one for his father.
Thomas OSBORNE married at Ashley [should be Ashford, co. Kent, England - p 249], 18 Jan.
1621/2 to Mary GOATLY, whose parentage has not been learned. [A footnote to the marriage
date states the month Jan. was “Deleted. the preceding date is Nov. 5, the following Jan. 15.
So probably Nov. 18, 1621 is intended.”] She was probably related to his uncle Edward’s wife.
After 1636, the family
[Page] 254
disappears from Ashford. When Richard Osborne made his will in 1646 [24 Fines - p 251], he
provided for his own children, and made children of his brother Joseph Osborne his contingent
heirs. Probably that was because Joseph was his eldest brother. He did not mention his brother
Thomas Osborne or the children of Thomas. That may be explained by the removal of Thomas
to New England [Connecticut in the USA].
Thomas Osborne [b. abt. 1594-5, prob. Ashford, co. Kent, England] was an early but not original
signer of the Covenant at New Haven [Connecticut or CT in the USA]. He was the Colony
tanner in 1643. The young Thomas Osborne (his son) [bapt. 24 Nov. 1622, Ashford, co. Kent,
England] was old enough to testify and train in 1646. In 1649 Thomas Osborne, Sr. and his
son John Osborne were fined. Jeremiah Osborne was old enough to train in 1649, and to be
father of his first child in 1652.
New Haven Town Records [CT] (vol. 1, p 472) give in full the deed from Thomas Osburne, Sr.,
of Easthampton [Long Island, New York], tanner, to his son Jeremiah Osburne of New Haven
[CT], tanner, of his house and tan yard in New Haven, dated 17 May 1660.
East Hampton Town Records [Long Island, New York], show that Thomas Osborne [Sr., b. ca
1594-5, England] settled there by 1651 (1-14); that he was father of Thomas Osborne, Jr.
(1-84); and that he was Patentee in 1667 (1-253). The last we hear of him in East Hampton
was on 2 Nov. 1677 (not 1687, as sometimes given), when he gave his house and homelot
there to his son Benjamin Osborne (1-406). He probably did not survive much longer, and
presumably lived with his youngest son Benjamin until his death.
Thomas Osborne, Jr. [bapt. 24 Nov. 1622, Ashford, co. Kent, England] was granted land in
East Hampton, 1651; was Constable, 1658; Sergeant, 1665; sold lands and bought the Bond
property, 1668; was still called Jr. in 1678, also in 1680 when Overseer, but he appears without
the distinguishing designation in 1686 when Trustee (1-6, 149, 225, 292, 296, 423; 2-88, 194).
John Osborne [bapt. 31 July 1631, Ashford, co. Kent, England] was granted a home lot at East
Hampton [Long Island, New York], Feb. 1655/6; testified with Rebecca Osborn, 1658, but
whether his wife or sister the record does not show; was Constable 1663 and 1666; Patentee,
1667; and exchanged land laid out to his father, Thomas Sr., 1668 (1-91, 120, 200, 225, 243,
253, 300). He died by 1687 (Records at Riverhead [Long Island??]).
Stephen Osborne [bapt. 24 Feb 1633/4, Ashford, co. Kent, England] was made freeman at
East Hampton [Long Island, New York], Jan. 1657/8; Townsman, 1662; sold with wife Sarah,
1666, the deed being witnessed by Jeremiah Osborn, and the acknowledgment being
witnessed by Thomas and John Osborn (1-119, 197, 246). He removed to Elizabethtown,
N. J., and his will, 12 July 1694, proved 20 July 1698, mentioned his brother Joseph Osborn
(N.J. Archives, 21-287).
Benjamin Osborne [bapt. 3 Jan. 1646/7, New Haven, CT], d. at East Hampton [Long Island,
New York]; was called brother of Joseph, 1668, and was Constable, 1683 (1-281; 2-106).
