Categories: Puritan Great Migration.

William Osgood migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1620-1640).

William Osgood was born in about 1609, based on the age (60) he gave in deposition in 1669.[1] The exact date of his birth is not known, nor are his birthplace or parents. It is supposed that he is is related to the Osgood family of Newton Tony, Wiltshire or Wherwell, Hampshire.[2] He is not the son of Christopher Osgood and Elizabeth Brockwell, as Christopher was dead by 1607. If William was born in 1609, he would have been 29 years old in 1638, too old to be the William, under 11, who is recorded on the ship Confidence;[3] however, the ages of the other Osgoods on the same passenger list are known to have been wildly inaccurate, so the possibility exists that he may have been mis-recorded as well.[2]

William was in Salisbury by 1640, this information comes from court testimony. He testified that he built a barn in Newbury in 1640.[1] In 1641 William received land in the new town of Salisbury with the condition that he build and operate a sawmill, he was a carpenter by trade. He formed a partnership with other Salisbury men, together they operated the mill for many years.[3]

William was married to Elizabeth by 1640. Although her surname is said to be Cleer, this is based on unsourced anecdotal evidence. Their eldest daughter Elizabeth gave birth to her first child in 1654. Guessing that she was at least 14 at the time means that she had to have been born by 1640.[4]

Elizabeth's death was not recorded. William wrote his will in March of 1700. His family approached the court with intent to probate in August of 1700. His estate was valued at over 400 pounds. It was settled on 2 October 1701.

Please disconnect William Osgood from relationship to Christopher Osgood. Christopher cannot be the father of William Osgood-111, because Christopher died in 1607, two years before the birth of William.

Perhaps parents of William Osgood will be found in Part II of New Light on the English Background of the Osgoods of Essex county, Massachusetts, by Jane Fletcher Fiske, FASG, See TAG 83:2, pages 141 - 155 for Part II, which deals with other branches of the Osgood family.
