General Notes: According to East Hampton History, 1953, he served the town in various civil offices.

This text, p. 496 contains the following:

Children of Thomas Osborn 2 who are not usually given in genealogies may have been Jonathan and Bezaleel. Osborn Shaw thinks so. At any rate, there were Osborns here bearing those names at dates when they could have been sons of Thomas 2; although Judge Henry P. Hedges was inclined to think they were together with another Joseph, sons of a wealthy Boston merchant, William Osborn. William Osborn 1 was in Salem 1630, in Dorchester 1639, at Harvard College 1661; he had a son Recompence born in Dorchester 1644, at Braintree, Mass. had Hannah born Aug. 24, 1646, Bezaleel May 8, 1650, and in Boston had Joseph born April 6, 1652 and Jonathan born Nov. 16, 1656. He died 1662. His widow married John Mulford of East Hampton. (Widow Friedeswiede Osborn). Recompence 2 graduated from Harvard and later taught school in New Haven, then went to East Hampton and after 1665 disappears, probably died here; Jonathan went to Cape May, N.J. where he and his brother Joseph owned a house together in 1690. Joseph is probably the "Joseph Sr." who died in 1741 in East Hampton aged about 90.
As for Bezaleel, his "nuncupative" (oral) will recorded in the Suffolk County Clerk's office at Riverhead, L.I., gives these facts: His wife was Elizabeth Howell, sister of Arthur Howell of Southampton; he was brother of Joseph and Jonathan Osborn of East Hampton. He died at the home of his brother Joseph in East Hampton in 1686; the will mentions no children, although he may have had a daughter who married Ralph Dayton. East Hampton Town Records mention Bezaleel and his "share of whale," 1677. Brookhaven Town Records, under date Sept. 8, 1679, show that Bezaleel Osborn of East Hampton gives 50 acres of upland and 15 acres of meadow in Brookhaven to Ralph Dayton. The Daytons, Osborns, and Bakers all came from the same part of Kent. Tradition says that the grave of Bezaleel Osborn in South End Burying Ground, was marked by read cedar posts bearing the initials B.O.2

Thomas married Elizabeth Rattray.4

General Notes: East Hampton History, 1953 indicates of this first marriage, only the birth of Thomas 3 is known; he is said to have died young. It is possible that Jonathan 3 and Bezaleel 3 are also from this marriage.2
