The Osborn family lived in and near Maidenstone, England. Thomas owned land in Hingham, Mass., before 1635. He moved to Windsor, Connecticut before the Pequot War or 1637, in which he served. He was an original settler of New Haven in 1638, he moved to East Hampton about 1648, just after the arrival of the original nine men, some of whom left shortly. He was a tanner, as were one or two of his sons and some of their descendants. In May 1660 Thomas Osborne, Sr., of East Hampton deeded his house and tanyard in New Haven to his son Jeremiah Osborne, tanner, of New Haven. (N.H. Recs., I-472). In 1677 Thomas, Sr., gave his house and home lot in East Hampton to his son Benhamin (E.H. Recs. I-406). He probably lived with this son until his death.

A beautifully carved chest, said to have been brought from England by Thomas Osborne, can be seen in the John Howard Payne Memorial House, a gift by a descendant.
