I. JOHN1 OSGOOD of Andover, Mass., was b. in Wherwell, Hampshire, England, July 23, 1595 ; d. in Andover, Mass., Oct. 24, 1651. On first coming to America, he lived at Hampton, N.

He was one of the founders of Andover, Mass., and of its first church, and was the first representative from that town to the General Court, in 1651. He m. in England, ab. 1627, Sarah-, who d. April 8, 1867. II. STEPHEN2 OSGOOD, son of the preceding, b. ab. 1638, in Ipswich or Newbury, Mass .; d. of small pox, at Andover, Mass., Jan. 15, 1690-1. He m., Oct. 24, 1663, Mary Hooker, from whom so many of the family have derived their names. He was made a freeman in Andover in 1669. III.

d. in Lancaster, Mass., June 29, 1748. He m., Apr. 26, 1692, Dorothy Wood. He was a saddler, and moved to Lancaster in the early part of the eighteenth century. IV. JOSHUA4 OSGOOD, son of the preceding, b., Sept. 2, 1694, most probably in Andover, Mass .; d. in Lancaster, Mass., Jan. 31, 1783 ; m., Dec. 20, 1722, Ruth Divoll, who d., May 28, 1782 ; dau. of William and Ruth Divoll. V. JOSHUA® OSGOOD, Jr., son of the preceding, lived in Leominster, Mass. He m., Jan. 2, 1747, Lucy Carter, b. in Lancaster, Aug. 18, 1727; dau. of Samuel and Jemima (Houghton) Carter. He d. in Leominster, March 10, 1760 ; and she m. 2d, June 6, 1764, Gideon Ellis of Keene, N. H. The published Osgood genealogy, by an egregious blunder, merges the family of this Joshua with that of his father, as if the latter were the parent of the former's children.
1. JOSHUA OSGOOD, 3d, son of Joshua5, Jr., and Lucy (Carter) Osgood, was b. in Leominster, Mass., Aug. 19, 1749; d. in S., at 247, July 28, 1828. Hem., October 1772, Mary (or Polly) Batcheller, b. ab. 1745; d. in S., at 247, May 25, 1832, ae. 86. He was one of the earliest settlers upon the soil of what is now Sullivan, at 247. He bought the place, May 1, 1772, of Jeremiah Stiles of Keene, who had erected a dwelling-house upon the place, in which he had doubtless lived, although he had owned it only about two years. Mr. Osgood lived here more than half a century, tlll his death, and developed an excellent farm and raised a very large family. His ch. were nine, all b. on this farm, at 247: 1. Zephaniah", b., Aug. 18, 1773; d., at 247, March 5, 1778: 2. Joshua™, b., Feb. 17, 1775, 2; 3. John7, b., Jan. 28, 1778, 3; 4. Iddo7, b., Dec. 9, 1779, 4 ; 5. Roswell7, b., March 2, 1782, 5; 6. Mary? (Polly), b., July 2, 1783, 6 ; 7. Breed1, b., Apr. 6, 1785, 7; 8. Zephaniah7, b., Feb. 5, 1787, 8; 9. Nahum7, b., Oct. 5, 1788, 9. The dates here given correct the dates in the published Osgood and White genealogies, which are remarkably erroneous in this branch of the family. Mrs. Osgood was dau. of John and Elizabeth Batcheller and a sister of the noted tory Breed Batcheller, first settler of Packersfield (on a spot now in Roxbury).
2. JOSHUA7 OSGOOD, 4th, son of Joshua6, 3d, 1, d. in Rutland, Vt., Oct. 4, 1833. He was a blacksmith in that place. He m., April 6, 1806, Lucy Kingsley of that town, who d. there, January 1874.

Josiah D6., b., Sept. 13, 1811 ; d. in Rutland, May 30, 1812; 4. Phinehas 178., b., May 20, 1813, 11 ; 5. Lafayette A8., b., Nov. 28, 1815; d., unm., June 8, 1838, probably in Rutland ; 6. Abigail L8., b., Nov. 9, 1819; d. unm., Aug. 12, 1838, probably at Rutland ; 7. John8, b., June 2, 1823, was a clerk at Washington, D. C .; d. in New York, N. Y., in 1868; 8. Lucy J8., b., Nov. 15, 1825, 12; 9. Douglas 18., b., April 17, 1828, 13.
3. JOHN7 OSGOOD, son of Joshua6, 3d, 1, was a tailor in Keene, where he d., April 7, 1828. The date on certain records has been erroneously given as April 27. He m., Oct. 2, 1822, in Keene, by Rev. Z. S. Barstow, to Sarah (Sally) Sturtevant, b. in Plympton, Mass., Aug. 19, 1777 ; d. in Keene, May 6, 1856; dau. of Cornelius and Sarah (Bosworth) Sturtevant. They had no ch.
