Biography

NEHGR 1859 published a research paper by C. M. Endicott regarding the Osgood family. This is what he had to say about Sarah, wife of John Osgood . . . "It appears by his will, his wife's name was Sarah, and in the list of passengers by the ship Confidence at Southampton, April 11, 1638, was a 'Sarah Osgood' and four children ; occupation -- 'spinster.' This, I have no doubt, was the wife of John, and the four children were, Sarah, John, Mary, and Elizabeth. The place from whence she came is there called 'Horrell,' which, abating somewhat for Cockneyisms in those days, I have no doubt is intended for 'Orrell,' a town in Lancashire, not far from Liverpool, inasmuch, as no such place as 'Horrell' can be found in any part of England. This was also the county from which Richard Mather, father of Increase, emigrated three years before."
