II. EZRA OSGOOD FAMILY.
I. JOHN1 OSGOOD of Andover, Mass., the first American ancestor in the line of the JOSHUA OSGOOD family which precedes, is also the first Ameri- can ancestor in the line of the Ezra Osgood family. For particulars, see the preceding family. II. STEPHEN2 OSGOOD, son of the preceding, was the sec- ond ancestor in the line both of Joshua and Ezra Osgood. For particulars, see preceding family. III. HOOKER3 OSGOOD, the third ancestor in both the Joshua and the Ezra Osgood families, is more fully described in the preceding family. IV. HOOKER4 OSGOOD, Jr., son of the preceding, by his wife, Dorothy, was b. in Andover, Mass., March 26, 1693; went to Lancaster, Mass., with his father, in 1711 ; where he d., Jan. 5, 1765. He was a deacon in the First Church of Lancaster. He m., Jan. 23, 1716-7, Mary Wheelock of Lancaster, b. there, May 11, 1695 ; d. there, May 8, 1774 ; dau. of Joseph and Elizabeth Wheelock. V. JOSEPHª OSGOOD, son of the preceding, b. in Lancaster, Mass., Jan. 25, 1720-1, d. there, Sept. 24, 1797. He m. Ist (intentions declared, February 1740) Elizabeth Carter, b. in Lancaster, Mass., Jan. 17, 1718-9 ; d. there, Oct. 13, 1754 ; dau. (probably) of Thomas and Ruth Carter. He m. 2d, Jan. 29, 1756, Catharine Sawyer. She d. in Lancaster, Feb. 17, 1819 ; ae. 92.
1. . EZRAG OSGOOD, son of Joseph (V.) and Elizabeth (Carter) Osgood, was b. in Lancaster, Mass., May 23, 1752. The family record, which we consulted, had his birth, June 11, 1752. This is an error, for he was baptized, June 7, 1752, ac. to the records of the First Church of Lancaster, and the town records of Lancaster give it, May 23, 1752. The age as given on his gravestone would carry the date back to May. The date we have given is verified and corrects an old family register, as well as two or three published genealogies. In 1784, he came from Lancaster, Mass., and purchased what was afterwards the Keith place, in the east part of S., and built a house on the site of 137. Here his first ch. was bo.n. He sold this farm, in 1787, to his cousin, Elijah Carter, also from Lancaster, Mass., and lived, about five years, 1787-1792, at the site of 58, in S. Here the 2d ch. was b. In 1792, he purchased the farm at 108, in S., where Mason'A. Nims now lives. Here the 3d ch. and 4th ch. were b. In 1796, selling this place to his kinsman, Samuel Osgood, he moved to the farm at 167, in S., where he lived till his death, April 4, 1812, and where his son, James W. Osgood lived after him, till the house was burned in 1857. This is always known as the Ezra Osgood farm (or James W. Osgood farm). Ezra Osgood m., March 2, 1785, in Lancaster, Mass., by Rev. Timothy Harrington, to Susannah White, b. in Lancaster, Mass., March 1, 1763; d. in S., at 167, Feb. 11, 1854; dau. of Dea. Joseph and Patience (Ball) White. They had four ch .: 1. James White 7, b. in S., at 137, Nov. 16, 1785, 2; 2. Henry 7, b. in S., at 58, Oct. 8, 1789 ; d. there, Feb. 7, 1791 ; 3. Susannah 7, b. in S., at the site of 108, Sept. 17, 1793, m. Eliakim N. Kemp, q. v .; 4. Myretta 7, b. in S., at site of 108, March 22, 1796, m. James Mason, q. v. (in the BELA MASON family).

2. JAMES WHITE' OSGOOD, son of Ezra6, 1, b. in S., at 137, Nov. 16, 1785 ; d. in S., at 153, March 11, 1869. He succeeded his father upon the old homestead at 167, where all of his ch. were born. This house was burned in 1857, owing to the carelessness of an insane woman who was living in the house. Mr. Osgood and his wife then stopped a short time at the Perry Kemp house, at 168, and the same year (1857) went to live with their daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Dauphin W. Nims. at 153. He m., Feb. 25, 1813, Betsey Wilson, b. in Keene, Feb. 25, 1786; d. in S., at 153, Jan. 7, 1864; dau. of Daniel and Abigail (Morse) Wilson of S, q. v. Mr. and Mrs. Osgood were very estimable persons, greatly respected by the citizens of the town. They had seven ch .: 1. A dau 8., b. in S., at 167, April 4, 1814; d. there, April 5, - 1814; 2.' Augusta 8, b. in S., at 167, Oct. 15, 1815 ; m. Dauphin W. Nims, q. v. (page 1264) ; 3. Henry 8 (called Harry), b. in S., at 167, June 23, 1817, 3 ; 4. Roxana 8, b. in S., at 167, March 24, 1819 ; m. Asahel Nims, Jr., q. v. (page 1250) ; 5. Emily8, b. in S., at 167, July 31, 1822 ; d. there, April 3, 1841 ; 6. Cynthia 8, b. in S., at 167, July 17, 1824 ; m. Charles Osgood. q. v. (19 of the JOSHUA OSGOOD family) ; 7. James Mason 8 (called himself, later, Mason James), b. in S., at 167, June 15, 1826, 4.
3. HENRY8 OSGOOD (always known as HARRY OSGOOD), son of James W7., 2, was a farmer and lived in Deerfield, Mass. Towards the latter end of his life, he moved to his father's farm iu S., at 167, where he d., Feb. 16, 1854, leaving no ch. He m., Aug. 16, 1847 (correcting History of Deerfield), in Deerfield, Mass., by Rev. John F. Moors, Unit., of Greenfield, Mass., to Charlotte Smith, b. in Deerfield, March 3, 1820 ; d. in Greenfield, Mass., Feb. 11, 1910 ; dau. of Nathan and Bercyle (Cobb) Smith. She m. 2d, Jan. 4, 1860, Marshall Rice. She had no ch. by either husband.
4. MASON JAMES8 OSGOOD, formerly called JAMES MASON OSGOOD, son of James W7., 1, was for many years in the chair industry, in Gardner, Mass. He moved to Indianapolis, Ind., about 1870, and engaged in the manufacture of brick, and also developed gas wells on land that he owned, which supplied the city with gas for illumination and fuel. He was one of about three natives of Sullivan who acquired a large estate, safely estimated at about a million dollars. He d. at Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 10, 1900. He m. Dec. 9, 1860, in Fitchburg, Mass., by Rev. Elnathan Davis of that place, to Mary Augusta Adams, b. in Ashburnham, Mass., Jan. 22, 1835; d. in Indi- anapolis, Ind., Aug. 3, 1895; dau. of John and Lucy (Caldwell) Adams of Ash'burnham.

They also adopted a dau., Ida M., who was b. at Indianapolis, June 1, 1876, who m. a Mr. Stanley. As she was not a blood relative, we do not give more of her family history.

OSGOOD.
OSGOOD, son of the preceding. IV. BENJAMIN4 OSGOOD, son of the preceding, was b. in Lancaster, Mass., May 21, 1700; d. in Keene, Oct. 29, 1789. His wife was Hannah Divoll. V. ELIJAH5 OSGOOD, son of Benjamin (IV.), b. in Lan- caster, Mass., May 27, 1740; d. in Swanzey, December 1822; m. Ist, Nov. 19, 1760, (correcting published ()sgood genealogy), Mary Wallingford of Lancaster, Mass., b. there, June 26, 1743 ; dau. of Ezekiel and Lydia (Brown) Wallingford. He m. 2d, ac. to Osgood published genealogy, Rebecca Woodard, who d. in Swanzey, May 29, 1811. Ac. to Hayward's Gilsum, her name was Rebecca Durrell (see that history, under the genealogical register of Aaron Hammond) .
1. ELIJAH6 OSGOOD, Jr., son of Elijah5, V., by his former wife, b. in Swanzey, March 21, 1765; d. at Almond, N. Y., March 23, 1847. In 1790, he purchased of Ephraim Wright of Keene that place in S., at 161, afterwards the farm of J. Kingsbury and Dauphin Spaulding. He sold it to Mr. Kingsbury, Nov. 20, 1804. Mr. Osgood was the first settler upon this place. In 1804, Mr. Osgood bought of the Clarks so much of the old Stephen Griswold (afterwards Joseph Ellis) homestead, at 102, as lay on the east side of the road. This was the first spot settled in Sullivan, the settlement being by Stephen Griswold. Mr. Osgood lived here five or six years. In the mean time, he owned the old Lydia Clark place, at 100, for a year, 1806-7, also the old Nathan Ellis (later Joseph Seward) place, at 99, for about a year, 1807-8. It is not probable that he lived on the former place, which he may have bought for a speculation. It is more probable that he lived on the Seward place, for he took down the old buildings on the Griswold-Ellis place, at 102, and erected, for a tavern, that two-story red house, where Esq. Samuel Locke and John Locke, also A. F. Nims, afterwards lived, probably living at 99 while building. He borrowed the money of Ephraim Aplin and, being unable to pay the note, he fled from town, in 1809, and nothing was heard of him for a long time. Mr. Aplin fore- closed and the place eventually passed into the hands of Esq. Samuel Locke. Elijah Osgood was a man of ability. He was the first captain of a military company which was formed in Sullivan. He was a man of considerable conse- quence in town affairs. He ni., in Swanzey, Oct. 16, 1788, by Rev. Edward Goddard, to Elizabeth Thompson, b. in Swanzey, July 11, 1771 ; d in Almond, N. Y., June 13, 1829; dau. of Roger and Elizabeth Thompson. The Swanzey history errs in calling Mr. Osgood her 2d hus. She was but seventeen years of age ! The error arose from the circumstance that Mr. Goddard, like many clergymen of his time, addressed an unmarried woman as " mistress " (abbreviated to " Mrs "), a title now applied to married women only. Many modern historians have been misled by this ancient use of that word Mr. Osgood had eight ch .: 1. Polly 7 (or Mary), b. in Swanzey, Aug. 24, 1789, 3; 2. Betsey7, b. in S., at 161, May 21, 1791, 4; 3. Martha 7 (called Patty), b. in S., at 161, April 8, 1793, 5; 4. Angelina 7, b. in S., at 161, March 15, 1795, 6; 5. Rachel7, b. in S., at 161, May 22, 1797, 7; 6. Eliza", b. in S., at 161, Aug. 26, 1800, 8; 7. Lucy7, b. in S., at 161, Jan. 14, 1804, 9; 8. Elijah7 T., b. in Almond, N. Y., Oct. 23, 1814, 10.
