(VII) Knealand Osgood, son of Jacob and Susanna (Tapley) Osgood (6), was born in Blue Hill, Maine, February 28, 1805, died at Athens, Maine, November 8, 1859. Married, May 1, 1833, Christiana S. Morgan, of Surry, Maine, who died in Malden, November II, 1887. She was the daughter of Jacob M. and Hannah (Bakeman) Morgan. Hannah Bake- man was the daughter of John Bakeman, the immigrant, who came from Holland with Mar- tin Van Buren and settled first at Brooksville, Maine, where, February 9, 1760, he was pub- lished to Christiana Smart, of Brunswick. Her mother and brothers were the first settlers in Bangor, Maine. Mr. Bakeman went to Big- waduce Neck, now Castine, in 1763; his lot there was next Jeremiah Veazie's in 177I. He was the third justice of the peace east of the Penobscot river, and as such called the first town meeting in Blue Hill, March 28, 1776. It is said that during the Revolution he went to Bath, but afterward returned and settled at Cape Rosier, where he built mills. He was prominent and influential. He died October 20, 1800, aged seventy-four. In his will June 9, 1793, proved 1801, he names wife Christiana and children Susannah, Sarah, Christian and John. His widow died August 4, 1818; his son John was born March 26, 1764, married Sarah Young, daughter of Joseph Young, May 22, 1788; his daughter Nannah (or Nan- cy) Young, born August 18, 1794. John Bakeman had to abandon his home during the war and his house was used as a hospital. He was allowed to take away two boat-loads of goods when he removed to Bath, and one boat, being over-loaded by his wife's anxiety to save her things, was lost. Later he was re- imbursed by the American government for his losses, his patriotism being above reproach.
