Comments

Donald Jacobus, in Families of Ancient New Haven, confused the familes of Joseph Osborn born in Oxford, New Haven Co., CT with the family Joseph Osborn born in New Fairfield, Fairfield Co., CT. The Joseph Osborn who was in Lanesborough, Berkshire Co., MA and moved to Genesee Co., NY is the Joseph who was born in 1755 in New Fairfield, CT, as shown by the Rev. War pension papers of Joseph Osborn of New Fairfield, St. Luke's Parish records, and the biography of Homer Osborn of Lenawee Co., MI. Also a child of Joseph Osborn-5343 (and brother of Isaac Wildman Osborn) is Joseph Osborn-12870 who was married to Clarissa Towner. This is shown by a deed recorded in Southbury, CT deed book 6/451 where Joseph Osborn of Otsego, Otsego Co., NY sells to Isaac W. Osborn his interest in the estate of Sarah Matthews his aunt. The estate records of Sarah Matthews shows that she was sister of Rebecca Osborn (Isaac Wildman Osborn's mother) and hence Joseph Osborn-12870 is brother of Isaac Wildman Osborn. Other deeds show that this is the Joseph Osborn who was married to Clarissa.
