Aug 7, 1649, Jeremiah Osborn, party in suit Co., Conn. (died April 26, 1676). April 4, 1654, Jeremiah
Osborn was admitted a free buyer. He died in 1712. Sept. 28, 1656, Jeremiah Osborn, son of
Jeremiah was born. March 22, 1692, Jonathan, son of Jeremiah, was born. Aug. 2, 1694, Jeremiah
Osborn was one of the assistant justices of the peace. Sept. 23, 1726, Jeremiah, son of Jonathan,
was born. Can you tell me anything of the descendants of Jonathan Osborn and wife Mehitable
Maltby? They married, 1755. They had: Abigail, born 1757; Nancy, born 1759; Mehitable, born 1761.
One of these married a Peck who was an officer in the Revolutionary War, and Jonathan Osborn who
was born 1763, and of Yale College. Roger Osborn’s daughter Sarah married Richard Lyman. Have
you any data of this branch?
Have you not skipped a generation in your line? You give Jeremiah (2), born 1620, and his son
Joseph (3), born 1692, when his father would have been seventy-two years old. The line as I have it
is Jeremiah (2), born 1620; Jeremiah (3), born 1656; Jonathan (4), born 1692, and you give Joseph as
born 1692.
#9260. 4. OSBORN, PECK. A.R.H., Aug. 1, 1923. I did not see the original query, but the following
may be of interest: “June 4, 1639, Richard Osborn’s name appears on colonial records as of the free
planters of New Haven, also the name of Thomas Osborn, same date. Reference General Court
Records, third roll (?), page 48. Aug. 5, 1640, Goodman Osborn was fined five shillings for neglecting
to warn the watch (page 15), also an order to cut bark by Goodman for his tannery. Oct. 2, 1649,
Thomas Osborn, Senior, was fined for defect in his sword. Same date John Osborn fined for same
reason. Sept. 6, 1649, Thomas Osborn fined for letting his hogs loose.
