THE MURDOCK FAMILY.
CONTRIBUTED BY TEUNIS D. HUNTTING. ESQ.
Among the early settlers of East-Hampton, there were some families who remained there only a short time. One of these was the Murdock family. Peter Murdock 1 came to this place while travelling through the length of the Island as a peddler, carrying his pack of merchandise on his back. He was the son of a well-to-do wool-comber of Limerick, Ireland, who had lost all his property during the war of 1690-1. Peter 1 came to this country to carve out a living for himself in 1698. During his periodical visits to East-Hampton he became acquainted with Mary Fithian, secretly courted her contrary to her father's wishes, and final-
317
ly married her. This was in 1705. After his marriage he opened a store in E. H., his wife tending it while he resumed his peddler's pack. He prospered in business and sent to Ireland for his three sisters to come and live with him; one of them, Dorcas, married John Conklin, of East-Hampton.
PETER 1 had but one child, a son named John 2 who, when he reached manhood, rem. to West Saybrook, Conn.
JOHN 2 b. 1706 at E. H. d. Jan. 21, 1778, at Westbrook. Conn., m. 1st Phebe Sill, 2d Frances Conklin April 11, 1732 and d. 1799. They had ch. Peter 3 b. Jan. 21, 1733, d. 1755 unm., Mary 3 b.

THE OSBORN FAMILY.
Thomas Osborn, Sr., was father of Thomas, Jr. 2, John 2 and Ben- jamin 2, and conveyed to the latter in 1687 all his lands in East-Hamp- ton, see T. R. Vol. I, pp. 84, 300, 406. From Savage's Gen. Dictionary and otherwise we know that this Thomas 1 had in New Haven a son Jeremiah and other children, and a brother Richard, the tanner, there. The tradition that he returned to New Haven and died there, is con- sistent with the deed and all the known facts. The Thomas 2 dying in 1712, æ 90, was son of Thomas 1. The Joseph, Jr. 3 was son of Thomas 2 dying in 1743, æ 83, and by will proved Sept. 9, 1746, devised to his son Joseph 4 the old Deacon Osborn homestead, to his son Jeremiah 4 the house on the corner bought of Capt. Thos. Wheeler, and to his son Thomas 4 the Pudding Hill lot. Four generations of the family are traced and located on three homesteads, at so late a date and so clear- ly as to leave little if any doubt so far. The same will names his brother Daniel 3.
We find at an early day in East-Hampton four other Osborns, not of this stock, to be traced and located. Recompence in 1665, Bezaleel, Joseph and Jonathan, (see T. R. Vol. I, p. 241, Vol. II, pp. 183, 255 and 256. Savage names William Osborn 1 in Salem 1630, in Dorchester 1639, and there had son Recompence 2 b. May 26, 1644, H. C. 1661, at Brain- tree had Hannah Aug. 24 1646, Bezaleel May 8, 1650, and after that at Boston had Joseph 2 b. April 6, 1652 and Jonathan b. Nov. 16, 1656. He was a merchant and died in mid life. Inventory April 29, 1662, over £1,000. His wid. m. John Mulford, of Southampton, L. I. &c. (South- ampton is a mistake for East-Hampton.) Recompence grad. of H. C. After graduation taught school in New Haven and thence went to East- Hampton, and after 1665 disappears, probably dying there soon after, at a date not fixed by the college catalogue, but probably before Beza- leel, who died about 1686, and whose unucupative will proved in Suffolk Co. Feb. 10, 1686 names his wife Elizabeth, the two sons of his brother- in-law Arthur Howell, and brothers Joseph and Jonathan. The will is proved to have been made in the house of Joseph the testator's broth- er. The Town Records, Vol. II, p. 256, 257 show that in 1690 Jonathan then of Cape May, N. J. and Joseph, sons of William of Boston, owned half a house formerly their father's, and by him given to their mother. The death of Recompence and Bezaleel and removal of Jonathan to Cape May, before 1690, still left Joseph, son of the rich merchant Wil- liam, in East-Hampton, whose descendants, if any, are not traced.

This Joseph probably was the Joseph, Sen. who died in 1741, æ abt. 90. The statement that the lot of Bezaleel descended in the Osborn family in the line of the late Sylvanus M. dec'd, is probably an error. The Thomas 2 d. in 1712 left son Joseph 3 d. in 1743, and son Daniel 3 d. in 1713, who left son Dea. Daniel 4 who d. in 1757, both located on the Os- born homestead where now resides David E. son of Sylvanus M. The original unproved will of Daniel 3, and a copy of the will and probate of Daniel 4, are now in possession of said David E. In the former Jos- eph Osborn, brother of the testator, is named executor. In the latter "Thos. Osborn, dec'd" is named as grandfather of the testator, and his cousin Joseph Osborn as an executor, demonstrating the descent of both families from Thomas 2. A deed of Daniel and Jonathan, sons of Daniel, to Jeremiah Osborn, in 1758, confirms this.
There was a Capt. Daniel Osborn, of Southold, whose will dated Oct. 4th, 1771, proved April 29, 1782, names sons Daniel and Wines, and land at Daniel's Hole and Major Wickham's land, as if in East-Hampton, and who I think was son of Daniel 4, and is the Daniel named in the will as his son, with Jonathan, and while the latter remained the form- er Daniel 5 I think removed to Southold. His son Daniel 6 probably was the Assemblyman named in 1787-8, and he was father of the late lawyer Hull Osborn 7 and Dr. Thomas Osborn 7 of Riverhead, and thus the Southold and East-Hampton Osborns have the same lineage, as stated by so competent authority as the late J. Wickham Case. See note, Southold Town Records, Vol. II, p. 536. The Charles Osborn, late of Bellport, L. I. dec'd, descended from the same Thomas 2 of East- Hampton.
The writer of the Chronicles of East-Hampton, published in 1838-1841 in The Corrector, at Sag-Harbor, and afterwards in book form in 1870, speaking of the earliest memorials of the dead, described four red cedar posts, two connected by a rail and two with the rail missing. He men- tions the fragrance of the wood and the fact that "four years since a person then aged ninety-four, who was born and always lived in the village, described them as bearing at his earliest recollection the same worn appearance that they then did." No inscription was visible on those connected by the rail. On the others the writer states "the ini- tials B. O. can be indistinctly traced." I well remember these posts in the burying ground at the "south end." They were set at the usual distance of head and foot stones over graves, and probably antedated them as memorials. The old person who I suppose died in 1836 @ 98, was Dea. Recompence Sherrill, and his memory thereof must have gone back to 1742. The initials B. O. are those of Bezaleel Osborn who died in 1686, and with slight change are those of Recompence Osborn, the Harvard graduate, dying about 1670, and not unlikely in fact were marks for the grave of one of them.
