V. FAMILY OF HOOKER OSGOOD.
The first three ancestors in the ancestral line of Hooker Osgood are the same as the first three in the line of Oliver Osgood of the preceding family, viz., I. JOHN1 OSGOOD, II. STEPHEN2 OSGOOD, and III. HOOKER" OSGOOD. IV. Dea. HOOKER4 OSGOOD, Jr., of Lancaster, Mass., son of Hooker3, was the grandfather of Ezra6 Osgood of Sullivan (see family of EZRA OSGOOD). He was b. in Andover, Mass., March 26, 1693 ; d. in Lancaster, Mass., Jan. 5, 1765. He was a deacon of the First Cong. Church of Lancaster. He m., Jan. 23, 1716-7, Mary Wheelock of Lancaster. b., May 11, 1695; d. in Lancaster, May 8, 1774; dau. of Joseph and Elizabeth Wheelock. They had eight ch.
1. HOOKERS OSGOOD, 3d, son of Dea. Hooker4, IV., was b. in Lan- caster, Mass., in 1735, bap., Nov. 30, 1735; d. in Sullivan, N. H., May 15, 1812, at 167, where he spent his last days, in the family of his nephew, Ezra6 Osgood. He saw service in the colonial wars. Upon the defeat of Abercrombie and the alarm of 1757, the militia were summoned to Albany. Hooker Osgood was one of a company of troopers who reached Springfield before the orders to re- turn were received. He was an ensign in the militia in 1771. For some reason, he seemed to drift away from the others of his immediate family, and came to Sullivan, where he found a congenial home in the family of his favorite nephew, Ezra Osgood. He m., June 29, 1759, Susannah Sawyer, bap. in Lancaster, Mass., Dec. 9, 1739; dau. of Phinehas and Mary Sawyer. We have not the record of her death. They had ten ch., the first nine were b. in Lancaster,

Mass., and the five whose deaths are noted in this paragraph d. there. The tenth ch. was b., it is understood, in Ashby, Mass. The ten ch. were bap. in Lancaster, as follows : 1. Susannah 6, bap., June 15, 1760; d., April 1, 1787, (see end of this paragraph); 2. Mary 6, bap., Jan. 17, 1762; 3. Keziah 6, bap., April 15, 1764, 2; 4. Hooker 6, bap., July 17, 1766; d., Jan. 7, 1768; 5. Hooker 6, bap., Oct. 2, 1768, 3; 6. Peter6, bap., Jan. 13, 1771, 4; 7. James ", bap., July 25, 1773; d., Sept. 13 (or 14), 1774; 8. Beulah 6, bap., June 11, 1775; d., Aug. 24, 1775; 9. James6, bap., July 7, 1776; d., Dec. I, 1776; 10. James6, bap., Sept. 24, 1780. The published Osgood genealogy is very incomplete and unsatisfactory in its treatment of this family. It mentions only five ch., misplaces the order of births, and apparently errs in two of the five names. It mentions a Thomas who was lost at sea. No such name appears in the baptismal list of Hooker's children, on the Lancaster church records. This Thomas must have belonged to another family. It also mentions a Susan who married Thomas Thurston. She must have belonged to another family. We have seen that llooker had a dau. Susannah, who died in her twenty-seventh year. It is not possible that she was the " Susan " of the Osgood book, who married Mr. Thurston, for we find no record to that effect. At her death, she was called in the records " Susannah, dau. of Hooker Osgood." Had she been married, the surname would have been given. The children of Hooker Osgood never lived in Sullivan, but we give a brief account of the three who lived to marry.
2. KEZIAH6 OSGOOD, dau. of Hooker5, 3d, 1, m., Jan. 30, 1794, Peter Hunt of Heath, Franklin Co., Mass. He is probably the same who was bap. in Lancaster, First Church, Oct. 17, 1762, son of Lieut. Sherebiah and Deborah (Wilder) Hunt. The published Osgood genealogy errs in the date of the marriage. It was January, not June. We have no record that Keziah had any child.
3. HOOKER6 OSGOOD, 4th, son of Hooker5, 3d, 1, m., May 31, 1797, Nancy Whitcomb of Lancaster, Mass. He operated a stage line between Marblehead and Boston, Mass., and lived at Marblehead. He died without ch. The published Osgood genealogy, so often inaccurate, is wrong in the date of his birth which was 1768, not 1764; also in the date of his marriage, which was May, not March (he was published in April) ; also in the name of his wife, which was Nancy, not Anna, according to the Lancaster records. There were two or three Annas, but they were all many years older than Hooker.
4. PETER6 OSGOOD, son of Hooker5, 3d, 1, and known as Col. Peter Osgood, d. in Boston, Mass., March 5, 1835, and his body was placed in tomb No. 15, at Christ Church on Salem St. He m., May 2, 1799, in Boston, by Rev. Peter Thacher, to Mary Pritchard, b. in Boston, Jan. 27, 1780; d. in Dor- chester, Mass., April 8, 1860; dau. of Samuel and Martha (Blowers) Pritchard. Col. Peter was an active and enterprising man and established himself in business with Col. Whitney. He had three ch .: I. Peter7, b. in 1800, d. in infancy ; 2. Mary7, b. in 1803; d. unm., in Dorchester, Mass., in 1849: 3. Martha Blowers7, b. in 1808. All were b. in Boston.

He was a captain, selectman, and representative to the Gen- eral Conrt. III.

He was lieutenant, selectman, and a prominent man in Andover. IV. JOSIAH4 OSGOOD, son of preceding, b. at Andover, July 13, 1706; d. there, Oct. 20, 1780; the youngest of eleven ch.

He was a prominent man in the town and acquired a competency. His farm was one of the best in town. He m., May 26, 1796, Lucy Heald of Temple, b. there, July 10, 1770; d. in S., at 108, March 19, 1843 ; dau. of Oliver and Lydia (Spaulding) Hleald. She had three sisters who were triplets and their births were the first in Temple. Mr. and Mrs. Osgood had no ch., but their house was ever open to receive and care for kin- dred and unfortunate children. Samuel Osgood and Ruby Osgood (See FAMILY OF SAMUEL AND RUBY OSGOOD), nephew and niece of Samuel, were reared in their home. Selim Frost, q. v., and the lady whom Mr. Frost married, were also inmates of the home of Mr. Osgood in their youth, and Mr. Frost succeeded to the farm. Joseph7 Osgood, nephew of Samuel6, lived, in youth, in the latter's family (see FAMILY OF JOSEPH OSGOOD). Sarah G. Marshall also found a home in Samuel6 Osgood's family, and that of Selim Frost who succeed- ed to the farm. She m. Chas. Franklin Wilson, q. v.

Daniel and Abigail (Morse) Wilson. The published Osgood genealogy errs in the date of their marriage and in several particulars with respect to this family. They had sixteen ch., but twelve of them died at or about the time of birth, and no record of them appears to have been preserved. The four who lived to maturity were the following : 1.
