(VII) Calvin, son of Rev. Jonathan (2) Goodwin, was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, December, 1800. He was educated in the public schools in Connecticut. In 1828 he came to Mexico, New York, and settled on a farın, which is now the site of the village of Mexico. He continued to follow farming until 1855, when he retired. He held various offices of trust and responsibility. For many years he was a trustee of the Baptist church. He died in Mexico, in 1869.

He studied law in the offices of Judge Cyrus Whitney, of Orville Robinson and James Noxon, and was gradu- ated from the Albany Law School, in the class of 1856. He practiced his profession in Os- wego county and in the state of California for several years, but was afterwards diverted in some degree from the law by ill health and the cares devolving upon him in the settle- ment of various estates, and in recent years gave more time to business and literature than to his profession. He formerly took a keen interest in politics and held many offices of trust and honor. He was chairman of the Democratic county committee many years, and was frequently chosen delegate to state and other nominating conventions of his party. In 1879 he was president of the incorporated village of Mexico, and, in 1883, supervisor of the town, being the only Democrat, with one exception, that had been elected supervisor of the town for fifty years or more. Mr. Good- win traveled extensively both in this country and abroad. In 1882 he visited Ireland, England,
France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and Holland. In 1889 he made a more ex- tended tour in the east, ascending the Nile river, visiting Palestine, Syria, Turkey, Greece, and many islands in the Mediterranean Sea. He has traveled in almost every part of North America. While he was abroad he wrote a series of letters that were published in the local newspapers and widely copied in the newspapers of the state. In recent years he spent the winters in California. His courtesy and kindliness of manner, his social qualities and broad culture explain in some degree his popularity. Few men in the county, if any, were as well known and highly esteemed. He married, June, 1883, Adelaide E. Alfred, died April 11, 1884, daughter of Charles L. Webb, of Mexico. Their only child, Mabel A., died September 28, 188.4.
RICHARDSON John Richardson, immi- grant ancestor, came from England about 1636 and settled in Watertown, where he had a grant of land in the Beaver Brook Plowlands, within the present city of Waltham. His name is not found in Watertown after 1643, as he doubt- less emigrated from there with many others. There was a John Richardson in Exeter, New Hampshire, in 1642, but he did not continue there. It seems probable that he was impli- cated in the Antimomian controversy in 1637. which would account for his leaving Water- town in 1637, and if he, being an ardent, im- pulsive, indiscreet young man, was a favorer of the Rev. Mr. Wheelwright, it is quite likely that he followed the latter to Exeter, and later to Wells, Maine, where Mr. Wheelwright had purchased about five hundred acres of land, in April. 1643. Here a church was formed with Wheelwright as its pastor, and Richardson doubtless was one of its members. John Rich- ardson, of Exeter, had a wife there, Hannah Tryer, or Truair. It is safe to conclude that this John Richardson who came to Watertown and was afterwards in Exeter and later Wells, Maine, was the father of John, who appears in the latter place in 1673, and, in 1679, mar- ried Rebecca Clark, of Medfield, Massachu- setts. There is no mention of the Medfield Richardsons until 1679.
(II) John (2), son of John (1) Richard- son, was born about 1650, in Wells, Maine, and married, May 1, 1678-79, Rebecca, daugh- ter of Joseph and Alice ( Pepper) Clark, born
65
NEW YORK.
August 16, 1660, in Medfield, died February 17, 1738-39, in Sherborn, Massachusetts. She married (second) John Hill, of the latter place. John Richardson first appears in Medfield, in 1676, when he was credited with a month's service in the Medfield garrison. In 1678 he had a grant of land from the town on the west side of the river. February 21, 1675, Medfield was attacked by five hundred Indians and fifty buildings and two mills were destroyed and twenty people killed. During this time John Richardson was doubtless in Maine, but after the death of King Philip, in August, 1676, the war ceased in Massachusetts, but continued to rage in Maine, and he then moved to Medfield. His home there was very near the present village of East Medway, which was up to 1713 a part of Medfield. He was a cordwainer by trade and cultivated a small farm of less than fifty
acres. He was a member of the Medfield church before 1697, as was also his wife. He died there May 29, 1697, about fifty years of age. No will is found on record, and he pos- sessed but little property. The inventory of his estate, February 22, 1699, included a home- stead of twenty-six acres, with orchard and buildings, valued at thirty pounds, eight acres of meadow near Boggastow Brook, and ten acres of upland and swamp near Bear Hill. Powers of administration were granted his widow, July 18, 1700. Children : John, men- tioned below; Elizabeth, born September 24, 1681 ; Daniel, August 31, 1685; Joseph, 1687; Mehitable, June 16, 1689; Benjamin, 1693; Rebecca, February 28, 1696-97.
(III) John (3), son of Jolin (2) Richard- son, was born in Medfield, now Medway, April 25, 1679. He was a cordwainer, but later be- came a husbandman, and was also a carpenter. He refused the real estate left him by his father, which was accepted by his brother Dan- iel. He owned considerable land, as shown in various deeds. He and his wife sold to Nathaniel Fairbank, of Wrentham, two parcels of land in Wrentham. For two hundred pounds he sold to his son Moses of Medway forty acres of land in Medway. He died in Medfield, now East Medway, May 19, 1759, and his son John was appointed, February 13, 1761, his administrator. He married, about 1699. Esther, daughter of John Breck, of Med- field, born there, 1679; died of cancer, August 17. 1774.

(V) Oliver, son of Solomon Richardson, was born in Medway, August 12, 1754. He appears to be the Oliver Richardson who set- tled . Oneida county probably after 1790, and removed later to Oswego county, New York. Children : Oliver ; Reuben ; John M., mention- ed below ; Alvin; Edward. Alvin was an assemblyman of New York state from Oswego county.

He was active in politics and town affairs, and, in 1880, was ap- pointed notary public. He came to the village of Mexico in 1884, and has lived there since. For twelve years he was justice of the peace, and largely occupied with his duties as mag- istrate and member of the town board. For eleven years he was clerk of the incorporated village of Mexico.

OSBORN Phineas Osborn was probably a native of Vermont, who settled in Herkimer county, New York, and removed thence to Clayton, Jefferson coun- ty, New York, in 1817. His farm in Clayton was about three miles northwest of the falls. three miles north of Depauville, on what was known as "Elm Flats." He married Ann Frame, and they had children : Caroline, Clarissa, Eliza, Mary, Eleanor, Duane, Daniel Webster, Will- iam, Phineas Alden and Orlando. Another source of information gives Thomas Schuyler.
The home of the family in Vermont has not been located, but it may be said that the first federal census of Vermont, taken in 1790, gives the names of these heads of family, John. Joseph, Lemuel ; Benjamin, of Tinmouth : Isaac, of Pittsford.
( II) Orlando, son of Phineas Osborn, was born in Clayton, Jefferson county, New York. May 11, 1835.

( III) William H., son of Orlando Osborn. was born in Cape Vincent, Jefferson county, New York, August 16, 1864. He worked in the mill with his father during his boyhood. His schooling was very limited even for those days. When he was fifteen he went to work in a mill owned by his uncle, Phineas Alden Osborn, at Dexter, New York, and afterward worked for two years for A. H. Herrick & Son, at Watertown, New York. After an- other year in the employ of his uncle at Dexter and four years in the employ of Farwell & Rhines, of Watertown, he entered upon a busi- ness career on his own account. He had ae- quired a broad and detailed knowledge of the business and a wide and diversified experience, entirely through his own efforts and perse- verance. In 1891 he bought the old Bryant mill at the village of Evans Mills, New York, and conducted it until he sold it in 1895. Two months later, in May. 1895. he bought the old S. H. Pitcher mill, at Adams, New York, and conducted it three years. In 1896, in partner- ship with his father, he bought the Woodville Mill. In March, 1898, he bought the Almerion N.

In the mean- time he also bought a half interest in the Pots- dam Mills and held this interest for three years, and in addition to his various sawmill prop- erties, he had organized the Wright & Osborn Lumber Company and had an extensive busi- ness in lumber and in building and contracting. Before lie sold his mill, Mr. Osborn had bought a half interest in the Wilson Canning Com- pany, with factories at Mexico, in Oswego county ; Taberg. Oneida county, and at Rush, Monroe county. The company also has a leased factory at Taberg. The business of the concern is extensive and among the largest in this line in northern New York, having a total capacity of two million five hundred thousand cans of fruits and vegetables per annum, and the plant is run to its full capacity. He is also the treasurer of the Wilson Canning Com- pany ; vice-president of the Citizens National Bank, of Adams, and formerly vice-president of the Majestic Furniture Company. In all his various investments and enterprises he has been highly successful, possessing the execu- tive ability and business sagacity to bring pros- perity to every undertaking, and is noted for his fair and square business methods.
