Prepared for publication by Donald Lines Jacobus, by permission of a client, at whose behest the records were obtained, and who reserves all rights of republication. We wish to thank W. E. Osborn, Esq., of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., for the clue which led to the discovery of these records.
The data from parish registers and wills were obtained by Miss Lydia M. Marshall, of Newbury, Berkshire, England.[If anyone knows the whereabouts or descendants of W. E. OSBORN, please contact the webmaster.]
The identity of Thomas Osborne, an early settler of New Haven, Conn., will be established by the following records. It has long been known that he was a tanner and that he had sons named Thomas (born 1622 by stated age at death), Jeremy or Jeremiah, John, Stephen, Joseph, and Benjamin (born in New Haven). The recent discovery shows that a Thomas Osborne, also, a tanner, had the following sons baptized at Ashford, Kent:
Thomas (1622), Jeremy, Richard (died young), John, Stephen, and Joseph, the last-named born 1636, after which Thomas and his family disappear from English records. The identity of trade, and five sons with identical names, born at suitable dates, cannot be dismissed as coincidental, and we feel no hesitancy in claiming that we have here the origin of the American family.

On the basis of the foregoing records, the following pedigree of the family has been arranged.[Please note: This transcriber has added a Reference section and surname OSBORNE with the first name of the descendants, which was previously assumed. The surname was generally spelled OSBORNE while in England, but seems to be used as OSBORN in many records in the new world - USA. Also, a couple of the first names were spelled differently referring to the same person, so I added the alternate spelling in brackets. Most brackets in this transcription were added by this transcriber.] 15:55, 2 January 2014 (EST)15:55, 2 January 2014 (EST)15:55, 2 January 2014 (EST)Doran-349

3. Thomas OSBORNE, baptism not found, but born probably 1594-5, as his cousin Thomas Osborne [Osbond] (baptized 4 Apr. 1595), son of his uncle John, was probably the “nephew Thomas Osborne the younger” named in Jeremy’s will [A 62 (118) - p 251]. Jeremy’s son Thomas was therefore probably a trifle older.
The question is whether it was this Thomas or his cousin who was the emigrant [to Connecticut in the USA]. The circumstantial evidence favors the son of Jeremy. John Osborne was a tanner, but we do not know whether his son Thomas followed that trade or not. We do know from Jeremy’s will that his son Thomas was a tanner. The names which Thomas bestowed on his sons are evidential. If he was son of Jeremy, the eldest son was named Thomas for himself, the next Jeremy for his father, the next Richard for his brother, the next John, perhaps for his uncle, the next Stephen, a favorite Puritan name, and Joseph, his last child born in England, for his brother. If the father of these sons was the son of John, he waited until his fourth son to name one for his father.
Thomas OSBORNE married at Ashley [should be Ashford, co. Kent, England - p 249], 18 Jan. 1621/2 to Mary GOATLY, whose parentage has not been learned. [A footnote to the marriage date states the month Jan. was “Deleted. the preceding date is Nov. 5, the following Jan. 15. So probably Nov. 18, 1621 is intended.”] She was probably related to his uncle Edward’s wife.
After 1636, the family disappears from Ashford. When Richard Osborne made his will in 1646 [24 Fines - p 251], he provided for his own children, and made children of his brother Joseph Osborne his contingent heirs. Probably that was because Joseph was his eldest brother. He did not mention his brother Thomas Osborne or the children of Thomas. That may be explained by the removal of Thomas to New England [Connecticut in the USA].
Thomas Osborne [b. abt. 1594-5, prob. Ashford, co. Kent, England] was an early but not original signer of the Covenant at New Haven [Connecticut or CT in the USA]. He was the Colony tanner in 1643. The young Thomas Osborne (his son) [bapt. 24 Nov. 1622, Ashford, co. Kent, England] was old enough to testify and train in 1646. In 1649 Thomas Osborne, Sr. and his son John Osborne were fined. Jeremiah Osborne was old enough to train in 1649, and to be father of his first child in 1652. New Haven Town Records [CT] (vol. 1, p 472) give in full the deed from Thomas Osburne, Sr., of Easthampton [Long Island, New York], tanner, to his son Jeremiah Osburne of New Haven[CT], tanner, of his house and tan yard in New Haven, dated 17 May 1660.
East Hampton Town Records [Long Island, New York], show that Thomas Osborne [Sr., b. ca 1594-5, England] settled there by 1651 (1-14); that he was father of Thomas Osborne, Jr. (1-84); and that he was Patentee in 1667 (1-253). The last we hear of him in East Hampton was on 2 Nov. 1677 (not 1687, as sometimes given), when he gave his house and home lot there to his son Benjamin Osborne (1-406). He probably did not survive much longer, and presumably lived with his youngest son Benjamin until his death.
Thomas Osborne, Jr. [bapt. 24 Nov. 1622, Ashford, co. Kent, England] was granted land in East Hampton, 1651; was Constable, 1658; Sergeant, 1665; sold lands and bought the Bond property, 1668; was still called Jr. in 1678, also in 1680 when Overseer, but he appears without the distinguishing designation in 1686 when Trustee (1-6, 149, 225, 292, 296, 423; 2-88, 194).
John Osborne [bapt. 31 July 1631, Ashford, co. Kent, England] was granted a home lot at East Hampton [Long Island, New York], Feb. 1655/6; testified with Rebecca Osborn, 1658, but whether his wife or sister the record does not show; was Constable 1663 and 1666; Patentee, 1667; and exchanged land laid out to his father, Thomas Sr., 1668 (1-91, 120, 200, 225, 243, 253, 300). He died by 1687 (Records at Riverhead [Long Island??]).
Stephen Osborne [bapt. 24 Feb 1633/4, Ashford, co. Kent, England] was made freeman at East Hampton [Long Island, New York], Jan. 1657/8; Townsman, 1662; sold with wife Sarah, 1666, the deed being witnessed by Jeremiah Osborn, and the acknowledgment being witnessed by Thomas and John Osborn (1-119, 197, 246). He removed to Elizabethtown, N. J., and his will, 12 July 1694, proved 20 July 1698, mentioned his brother Joseph Osborn (N.J. Archives, 21-287).
Benjamin Osborne [bapt. 3 Jan. 1646/7, New Haven, CT], d. at East Hampton [Long Island, New York]; was called brother of Joseph, 1668, and was Constable, 1683 (1-281; 2-106).

Would someone like to take on a rewrite of this profile? As mentioned earlier, there is a TAG article from 2015 that proves her parents are different than what we currently show. If someone wants to work on it, but doesn't have access to the cited article, I can send you a copy.
I'm going to first suggest that we disconnect the current parents, see the Research notes for the reason. Anyone disagree? Please advise.

First of all, if you believe the profile should be edited, changed, clarified, sources added or improved etc - go right ahead and do it. Profile Managers are not "owners" in any sense of the word. Wikitree is 100% collaborative, and nobody has exclusive rights to edit or improve any profile, whether they are a descendant or not. So waiting for a PM to do it is likely to result in frustration.
Secondly, people become a profile manager for several reasons - they imported a gedcom, or were brought along in a merge, or adopted an orphaned profile but never put a lot of time into it etc. A listed PM might not be active on WikiTree any more, or might have passed away, or might be managing thousands of profiles and just don't have time to do detailed work on all of them.
Finally, when you do edit the profile, please try to avoid sources like "US and International Marriage Records" from ancestry (and the IGI, Millenium File, other auto-aggregated collections of unsourced user submissions), family trees on familysearch.org, and private published websites that don't list their sources. Those can be hints, or suggestions, or possibilities, but they are simply not sources unless you can say where the actual data came from. Here is a (certainly not exhaustive) list of sources that have been pretty well vetted through extensive usage, research and peer review as a starting point https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Puritan_Great_Migration_Project_Reliable_Sources
Hopefully this helps and I look forward to seeing your contributions.
