John Osgood, son of John, born in England, probably 1630, died in Andover, Massachusetts, August 31, 1693.
He married at Haverhill, November 15, 1653, Mary, daughter of Rev Robert Clements, of Haverhill, who came from London in 1642.
She was of the unfortunates suspected of witchcraft in the great delusion of 1692, was examined in Salem before John Hawthorne and other “Majestie’s Justices”, September 8, 1692, confessed, and was indicted January 1693, but recanted before Increase Mather.
After about four months imprisonment at Salem, she and four others were released upon petition of Mr Dudly Bradstreet.
John Osgood lived in Andover in the house his father left him, and where the first recorded town meeting was held, March 1656. He was active in the militia, being Sergeant, 1658-61; Lieutenant, 1666-75-77-80; Captiain 1683. He was innholder 1689; served frequently as selectman, holding that office in 1668-69 and 1689-90. As he had been imprisoned for nine or ten days by Sir Edmund Andros, without warrant, during the opposition of his imposition of taxes, in August or September 1687, he was very popular among the townspeople of Andover.
