John Osborne (1588) was an Exchequer official who owed his return to Burghley, but Burghley may well have arranged it through Buckhurst. https://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1558-1603/constitu...

Interesting story here of an Osbourne Sir Edward Osborne, MP, Lord Mayor of London

Could not have been daughter of Sir Richard Empson since he was executed 30 years before she was born. She may have been a granddaughter or great-granddaughter.

John Steele Gordon wrote on soc.gen.medieval 5 Dec 1998 :"I know of four children for Sir Richard Empson. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, his eldest son was named Thomas and was restored to his father's estates in 1513. His son John became a barrister at the Middle Temple. His daughter Elizabeth married Sir Thomas Lucy of Charlecote, Warwickshire. His daughter Anne married Robert Ingleton, grandson of Edward IV's Chancellor of the Exchequer."

"John married second, JANE EMPSON, daughter and coheir of Sir Richard Empson, knight. ..... Jane's father, Sir Richard Empson, was a statesman and lawyer, prominent in public life during the reign of Henry VII, and was executed with Sir Edmund Dudley in 1509. Jane made a good second marriage, the record of which is found in the register of Terling, Essex: "1576, 15 July the Rt Worshipful Mr. Thomas Wilson Esq., Master of the Requests, to Mrs. Jane Pinchin of Writtle, gent., wid.: by dispensation from the Bishop of London. Thomas Wilson (died 1582) was Ambassador to the Low Countries and to the Court of Mary, Queen of Scots, and at the time of his death was Secretary to Queen Elizabeth. Wilson's brief will, dated 19 May 1581, proved 9 July 1582, makes no mention of a wife, presumably because she had been provided for in a prenuptial contract, But Jane's own will, made 10 Nov. 1587, proved 14 Feb. 1587/8, describes her as "Jane Wilson of Writtle widow, late the wife of the Right Hon. Thomas Wilson Esq. one of Her Majesty's principal Secretaries, deceased." She named her three sons, William, John and Edward."

From this date the Pynchon arms are quartered with the Empson on the monuments in the chancel of Writtle Church. Mary, another daughter of Sir Richard Empson, married for her second husband Edward Bulstrode of the ancient family of the Bulstrodes, of Bulstrode Park, County Bucks. not far distant from Windsor, and in the immediate neighborhood of Horton and Wraysbury. Bulstrode Whitlocke was of this family."
