The OSGOOD FOlLY

During the activity near the clos. of the French Wars, he was espeo­

r-... ially active. The younger men went to the .... uard under Lt. Col.Jiarch ,

.~. who was building a shlp at Andover, and Osgood, was the otticer in charge

ot the town and detenses-. He had to supervise the building ot bleckhous8S

and patrol the length of' the Merrimac. He impressed to men of his compan."

some to work and others to scout and ~ guard. This was car'ri8d on while the

country was in a state ot war, before the close ot Queen Anne's War.

en Bov. 27, 1695 a letter was sent to William Houghton, Gov. ot Mass.

later in Bal1ardvale. W. Stickney's house, occupied by his

widow in 1864 was built by her husband for Aaron Osgood on the

site of Eph Corey's place.

The OSGOOD FAMILY -30-

The name OSGOOD is supposed to be of Saxon or Norse origin.His­,.--....,

,,' - torians refer to the tale of the two Saxon monarchs, Osgod and Alb.,: who ~/ from William the Conqueror,

ask permission/to take £heir benefacto~Haroldfaway, after the Battle of

Hastings. There were early families of the name in Hampsh1re and Wilts,

England, and one Osget of Wiltshire, a thane, made a truce with Wm. the

Uonqueror at time of the Conquest.

In 1637, a Ur. Stanley, headmaster of Winchester School, England,

wrote to Sir Edward Nichols, Secretary of State to 0~arles 1 of ~ngland,

advising him of the 4esdre of John Os~od to go to the colonies. He Was

not in favor of John's adventure but asked Nichols to dO something. The

latter endorsed the request April 3, 1638 and Nichols obtained a pass for

John, on April 14 of the same year. Included in the pass were:Sarah Osgood

who was recorded as " spinster"(which doubtless refers to her trade, not

~,~- status as single woman as many have believe4) and four children; with

the part were Wm. Osgood and Wm. Jones, both children under 11, and Marg­

ery Parker, a servant. T.nis entry is thought to have been a deception to ~

avoid delay, as ,both Wm. Osgood and V~. Jones were grown men and proceed­

ed to bui14 mills directly on landing. The other explanation is that they

were children of the above men, and Sarah was acting as their nurse.

John Osgood was listed as a " freeman lf on May 23, 1639. Uhristopher

Osgood came from Marlboro and does not appear to connect in any way with

this John of Wherewell. William , it is thought, proved his kinship to

John by his will.

John Osgood died 1651, making John Clement and Nicholas Holt overseers.

John (2) Oasood married Mary Clements or Glement, sister of John,above.

John (2) ~nher1ted the homestead and broken and unbroken land, and meadow.

An inventory of the property gave : Furse and clothes; stock provis1ons;

notes due, 20 ~bs.; homestead valued at 80 ~bs.; furniture; 4 beds; 19 yds.

Hersey; 6 yds. serge; 16 yds.canvas; a remnant of serge; 10 prs. Stockings;

Ho~t. The first ~ Meeting recorded, march 1656 was held in the 08-

good house.

John (2) was a Capt. of Militia; Selectman; Representative 1168-90.

He waS imprisoned for 10 days by Andros on a dispute over taxes.{ See

Palfeey 's NEW EN BLAND vol. 3;page 324.) He was Sgt; Lieut; Capt. and

inn holder •.

He married Mary (2) Clements and she very likely kept a record of

the fact that her father was a clergyman. The Osgood Book calls him,Rev.

Robert Clements. It is said that he Came from London on his boat, the

Clement and Job. Also that he had a brother, a Quaker, who went to Long

Island. of Danvers, 1692, and

her mother, in

the home of her grandmother, a relative of the former mayor of Coventry.

She testified before Haw,horne, and was so terrified, she confessed to

having been a witch for 11 years. Her Husband, John , who was also

scared but KHZ loyal, denied her admission and said that she was all

~ right and was too frightened to know what she was saying~ She re­

canted her confession on Oct.16,1692, before Increase Mather, and testi­

fied that she had been browbeaten. She Was released from prison at Salem

with 4 others on petition of Dudley Bradstreet and others. The death of

her husband was hastened by worry over her, for he died in August, four

months after her release in March,1693. The whole community Was shocked execution

over the __ -tV ot Martha Wen, Sam'l Wardwell and the wife of .hathan .t'arker.

My daughter Anna and Niece Julia have been urging me to write

down some of the memories of the past, which otherwise will die

with me. It is very difficult to do this, not knowing where to

begin, what to relate and: what to omit, but for their sakes I

will try •

'J..y Grandfathers, Peter and Samuel Osgood were brothers.

Their father a wealthy farmer was said to own one thira of

Andover. His house, still a fine one, is owned by my cousin

'\, Osgood Wardwell. Moses Stevens, who married our cousin Charlott "

was obliged to pay all the debts of the firm. He also bought

resided in New York. He and Rufus King. kept house together for

some time, until they married the same year • Samuel married Maria

Bowne a Q.uakeress and widow of Wal ter Franklin.

My Grandfather became acquainted through hiring her

house for Gen. Washington. It was a large double house~ and

after his marriage they occupied one and Washington the other. ( (X, .• ':.x::n:.t.:...-IlJvV, ~"\,:'" ~Cw.4)

Aunt Hannah Clintonl\said she had seen Washington with a white

cambric handkerchief, touch his horses before getting into his carriage. If there was a speck on it they were remanded to the

stables. My Grandfathers carriage was similar to Washingtons.

Grandmother also kept her carriage and coachman. She also

had her own fortune settled on her. My mother has often des­

cribed to me the elegant style in which they lived. Mamy Wood

was house keeper ar-d as beloved by all tee children as a near

relative wo~ld be. ~he had a head nurse Peggy Pine and two
