This is not the same man as Richard Osborn who settled in Hingham, Massachusetts in 1635. That man died in 1637.^[1]

Disputed Origins

It is not likely that he was Richard Osborn, 22 years old, passenger on the 'Hopewell' which left London 16 Feb 1634 for Barbados.^[2][3]

His father may have been Thomas ^[4] and was probably not Richard Osborn and Joan Wyborne who have been disconnected.

• An Elizabeth Osborn, said to be a daughter of Capt. Richard Osborn, married July 6, 1672, Thomas Applebee at Rye, New York.^[14] A correction in another volume suggests Elizabeth was either the daughter of William Osborn or Richard Osborn, but says that Osborn researchers say Elizabeth, daughter of Captain Richard married James Beers, rather than Applebee.^[15]
