Biography

Puritan Great Migration
Thomas Osborne immigrated to New England between 1621 and 1640 and later departed for Long Island

Thomas Osborne of New Haven, Connecticut and East Hampton, Long Island

Spelling of the Name

Although the name is spelled variously, both Jacobus and Anderson use the "Osborne" spelling, and the "Osborne" spelling is used in the Ashford Parish records.[1][2]

Origin

There were two Thomas Osbornes, about the same age, who were cousins, in the Parish of Ashford.[1] We have no proof which was the immigrant to Connecticut, but Donald Lines Jacobus studied the family in England, using parish records and wills.[1] He concluded that the immigrant was probably the son of Jeremy Osborne, because the second son of the immigrant was named Jeremy (for his father) and the third was named Richard (for his brother) and John (perhaps for his uncle).[1] It is less likely that he was the son of John Osborne, as his fourth son was named John.

Birth

Thomas Osborne was probably born in "say" 1595 at Ashford, Kent, England.[1] His cousin was baptized April 4, 1595. This Thomas Osborne was probably the son of Jeremy Osborne and his first wife, Joan Wybourne.[1]

Marriage and children

Thomas probably married November 18, 1621 at Ashley, Kent, England to Mary Goatley, parentage unknown.[1] Their marriage record reads, "1621/2 Jan. 18 Thomas Osborne and Mary Goatly both of this parish."[1] However, the "Jan" is deleted. The entry before this is dated Nov. 5, and the following is dated Jan. 15.[1] Donald Jacobus believes that November 18, 1621 was intended.[1] However, the January 18, 1622 date is commonly used.

The birth record for their son Joseph, born 4 December 1636 in Kent, reads, "son of Thomas Osborne and Mary his wife."

Children of Thomas and Mary included:[1][3]

  1. Thomas Osborne bpt 1622 Nov 24 at Ashford, Kent, England; d 1712 Sep 23 at East Hampton at age of 89 years (gravestone) or 1712 Sep 25 at age of about 90 (church record); m. Mary Bond dau of Robt and Jane Bond.
  2. Jeremiah/Jeremy Osborne bpt 1624/5 Mar 20 at Ashford; mar Mary Unknown; d. 1676 Apr 26 at New Haven.
  3. Richard Osborne bpt 1627 Jul. 15, bur 1628/9 Jan 20 at Ashford, Kent.
  4. John Osborne bpt 1631 Jul. 31 at Ashford, Kent; m. to unknown; d at East Hampton abt 1687.
  5. Stephen Osborne bpt 1633/4 Feb 24 at Ashford, Kent; mar Sarah Stanborough; d in 1698 at Elizabeth, N.J.
  6. Joseph Osborne bpt 1636 Dec. 4 at Ashford, Kent; m. Priscilla Roberts.
  7. Rebecca Osborne bpt 1642 Oct 23 at New Haven
  8. Increase Osborne bpt 1642/3 Feb 5 at New Haven; no additional record.
  9. Benjamin Osborne bpt 1646/7 Jan 3; d at East Hampton 1721/2 Feb 27 abt 75 (church record); m unknown who d. 1718 May 7 about 69 yrs.

Not included on the list compiled by Jacobus was an adult Richard Osborne who appeared in many of the same New Haven records as Thomas Osborne. Note that Thomas had a brother named Richard who is documented to have died in England as well as a sibling named Richard who had died in infancy. One New Haven record documented that Richard testified in court that he had accompanied Thomas in search of a cow.[4] Charles Cory concluded that Richard was a cousin or nephew rather than a son of Thomas.[5]

Immigration to New Haven

After the birth of son Joseph, in Kent in 1636, the family disappears from the records in England.[1] Thus, it is believed that they immigrated about 1637, and first settled at New Haven, in what was later to become Connecticut.

The earliest New England record so far found for Thomas may be a 1640 List of Estates for the Colony of New Haven showing that Thomas was granted one of the proprietary shares at Mr. Fowler's Quarter, 300 acres for a family of six.[2]

"Thomas Osborne" signed New Havens Fundamental Agreements, written on 4 June 1639.[6] A secondary source noted, however, that his signature to this document had been added after 1639 when he was accepted as an inhabitant.[7] A 1643 listing of New Haven proprietors showed that "Tho: Osborne" head a household of 6 persons with an estate valued at 300 pounds.[8] He swore the New Haven Oath of Fidelity on 1 July 1644.[9] In 1647 he was accused and acquited in court of negligence while keeping the cows in his quarter of New Haven.[10] In November 1649, he acknowledged in a New Haven court that he had let his hogs roam freely[11] and "Thomas Osborne Senr" was fined for unspecified improprieties related to the scabbards of the swords belonging to himself and "his son John".[12]

Removal to Long Island

Cory, in a 1937 family history summarizes records from East Hampton, Long Island suggesting that Thomas's eldest son Thomas had removed to that town by 1649 and documenting that Thomas himself had bought land in that town (perhaps while still living in New Haven) by March of 1650.[13] Cory quotes extensively from a court record of November 1650 in "an action of debt" against him resulted in a lien being placed on "a beast of Thomas Osbornes, senior, of Easthampton."

In 1653, Thomas Osborne, Sr. served as the Constable for East Hampton, New York (p 224).[14]

In 1660, "Thomas Osborne Senior of East Hampton" conveyed to "my beloved son Jeremiah Osborne of Newhaven, Tanner ..." his house, tan yard and related buildings and lands in New Haven.[15]

Occupation

Thomas was a tanner by trade[1] (also see previous reference). A secondary source noted that "He owned and occupied a house and a tanyard on the south side of George street, between Broad and Factory streets. Doubtless he preferred this location to the original allotment given to him because of the facilities it afforded for his vocation as a tanner"[16] and includes a summary of other New Haven records related to the tanning and shoemaking practices of Thomas and others.

A chest he owned survives to this day

When Thomas Osborne moved to East Hampton, he took with him from New Haven a chest made by Thomas Mulliner of Totoket/Branford (adjacent to New Haven). This chest survives as what is believed by experts of early colonial furniture to be "... one of the most important pieces of American seventeenth century furniture ..." (see image). "The carved chest originally owned by Thomas Osborne, a tanner who moved to East Hampton from New Haven about 1650, is one of the most important pieces of American seventeenth century furniture and possibly the earliest documented example since it would have to have been made before Osborne’s cross-Sound move."[17][18][19]

Osborne's chest, made of native white oak with red oak bottom boards, can be viewed at the Home Sweet Home Museum in East Hampton, Long Isalnd. The chest can also be viewed on the museum's website (click on the link in the reference).[20]

Death

On 2 November 1677, Thomas gave his East Hampton house and homelot to his son, Benjamin. This is the last record of him. Jacobus believes he did not live much longer.[1]

Research Notes

On June 12, 1640, nine Puritan families from Lynn, Massachusetts landed at what is now known as Conscience Point, in Southampton; some later migrated to present-day East Hampton. Among the first English settlers in East Hampton were John Hand, Thomas Talmage, Daniel Howe, Thomas Thomson, John Mulford, William Hedges, Ralph Dayton, Thomas Chatfield and Thomas Osborn.

The East Hampton Pattens of 1686 granted the Town of East Hampton to its new proprietors and was signed by Thomas Dongan, then Governor of New York. East Hampton was the third Connecticut settlement on the East end of Long Island. East Hampton formally united with Connecticut in 1657. Long Island was formally declared to be part of New York (and also subject to English law) by Charles II of England, releasing East Hampton from its Connecticut governance.

Suffolk County was part of the Connecticut Colony before becoming an original county of the Province of New York, one of twelve created in 1683.

In the collection of "Home Sweet Home"," it is believed to have been made by Thomas Mulliner, a craftsman who learned his trade in Ipswich, England. The most elaborate of seven related examples it represents the transition from medieval to classical design in both furniture and architecture. The chest displays the overall repetitive designs associated with medieval art but it is organized within a classical framework of architectural arches."

The central panels of a chest with drawer attributed to Mulliner have relief carving featuring a central vertical stem surmounted by a large flower head and abstract foliate forms extending from the sides.

Combination of Ancestry of Thomas Osborne of New Haven, Conn by Jacobus, Donald Lines; The Thomas Osborn Family

by Cook, Richard W. and East Hapton History Including Genealogies of Eary Families by Rattray, Jeannett Edwards. “After 1636 Thomas Osborn's family disappears from the Ashford records. Brother Richard Osborn in his 1646 will names his own children and those of his other brother Joseph, but makes no mention of Thomas or his children, probably because they had removed to America. Thomas and Richard Osborn arrived in Boston on 26 Jun 1637. They and the entire New Haven Colony stayed in Boston until the spring of 1638 when they continued on to the area where they founded the town of New Haven, Connecticut. The entire trip is described in the book "The colony of New Haven" by Edward E. Atwater. The book describes life in England at the time, why they wanted to come to American, the trip aboard ship, and the way the land in New Haven was divided up. The History of New Haven County, edited by J. L. Rockey, (1892) tells that the party of fifty men and another 200 women and children were part of the company of the Reverend John Davenport arriving on the Hector and her consort. The company was composed of men of wealth, education and influence. Almost immediately upon arrival there was civil and religious conflict with the current residents of Massachusetts. In the spring of 1638 the company moved on to settle the colony of New Haven. The History of New Haven Colony, by Edward R. Lambert (1838) indicates that Planter Thomas Osborn was responsible for six persons and had an estate valued at 300 pounds. Richard Osborn was responsible for three persons and had an estate valued at 10 pounds. About 1639 he moved to New Haven, Connecticut. He was an early but not original signer of the Covenant at New Haven. He was the Colony tanner in 1643. He moved to East Hampton, New York by 1651. In 1660 he deeded his house and tanyard in New Haven to his son Jeremiah Osborn, tanner, of New Haven. In 1677 Thomas gave his house and home lot in East Hampton to his son Benjamin. He probably lived with this son until his death. Of his children, the first six were baptised at Christ Church in Ashford Parish, Co. Kent, England, the last three in New Haven, Connecticut. He died after 1677, when his will is dated, and before 1686, when his son Thomas is called Senior. It is possible that Thomas died during a visit to New Haven rather than at his home in East Hampton.” East Hampton History by Jeanette Edwards Rattray (East Hampton, L. I.) “The first Osborn in East Hampton was Thomas of Ashford in Kent who owned land in Hingham Mass before 1635, moved to Windsor, Conn by 1637, and was one of the early settlers of New Haven, Conn in 1639. Thomas came to East Hampton in 1650 to 1651. Early American Osborns were tanners; Thomas 1, trained in that trade by his father in England, was given liberty to cut trees on the common in New Haven for his tanning…Arthur Herbert Osborn of Princeton, NJ, who has with Dr. Donald Lines Jacobus, traced his ancestry to Ashford, Kent, England as far back as 1540, says that Thomas Osborn 1, with his brother Richard, was one of the original settlers of the Colony of New Haven in 1638 coming there from Boston under the leadership of the Rev. John Davenport with a group of thirty or forty. He says that Thomas 1 was the son of John Osborn who in turn was the son of another Thomas Osborn, both of the latter born and buried in Ashford, Kent; and that he came to this country about 1634, removing to E.H. about 1648”

I propose that Rebecca Osborne-2187 be detached from Thomas Osborne-335 and Mary (Goatley-2) Osborne. See the biography for -2187 where there is confusion about whether her surname was Osborne or Hand.

I don't think there is enough similar information to merge the two Rebecca's on this profile; thus I propose detachment since Thomas & Mary (Goatley) Osborne had only one child named Rebecca.

Thomas Osborne b. 1594/5 and Mary Goatley are my 8th great grandparents. This information is over 40 years old, and well known by researchers. It is documented in the 6th revised edition of "Claypool" and "Claypool in America" by Evelyn Claypool Bracken. A very well known genealogist by the name of Tony Hoskins stated that Evelyn Claypool Bracken's books are without errors! Evelyn Claypool Bracken was a University Professor who over a 20 year span wrote the Claypool books with precision and accuracy.

Thomas Osborne b. 1594/5 and Mary Goatley are from Ashford, Kent, England. They burried their son Richard Osborne in Ashford, at the age of 6 months old. They boarded the Hector with their other sons Thomas JR., Jeremiah (Jeremy), John b. 1631, Stephen, and Joseph. Thomas bought land in Mass., was there about a year, then New Haven, Conn.; and last New Hampshire Long Island, New York. There the family remained for 6 generations as tanners. One property was given to Thomas Jr. the other property was given to Benjamin. Thomas and Mary Goatley-Osborne had 3 more children in the states. Rebecca, Increase and Benjamin. BOTH Benjamin and Rebecca married into the Talmadge family. Rebecca married Nathaniel Talmadge, while Ben married Abigail Talmadge. I come from Stephen Osborne who married Sarah Stansborough. Sources: THE GENEALOGIST; THE Virginia Magazine; THE HECTOR was the ship they came on. The CLAYPOOL books by Evelyn Claypool Bracken, Other sources are stored in a computer that needs repairs. But if you have a list of two Rebecca Osbornes then think of it this way. The neighbors were the Talmadge family. It is common for more than one sibling to marry into another family. BOTH REBECCA AND BENJAMIN MARRIED INTO THE TALMADGE FAMILY! Because you are asking about this family you are probably tied to the family. Can you show me how you are related?

Hi Kay, Thanks for your details and sources. I'll review in the next few days, as time permits.

There are two children on this new profile who need to be detached or sourced: Hannah Osborne-246 and there are two Rebeccas - which one is correct? or should they be merged?

Is there someone (perhaps a PM of this profile) who will please work on these two children? Thank you.
