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.
