His son sued John Cowen, his mother's second husband, for making improvements to the property without permission.
Richard and his wife Rebecca probably came to this country a few years prior to 1644. He was one of 31 persons of Scituate who took the "Oath of Fidelity" 15 Jan 1644. He was a farmer, and one of the original land proprietors. He selected one of the most beautiful locations on the coast for his residence and farm called Mann Hill.

3978. Christopher OSGOOD 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 was born 25 May 1615 in Marlborough, Wiltshire, England. He died 10 Aug 1650 in Ipswich, Essex Co., Massachusetts and was buried 1650 in Ipswich, Essex Co., Massachusetts. Christopher married Margery FOWLER on 28 Jul 1633 in St. Mary's, Marlborough, Wiltshire, England. [Parents]
Christopher was first married to Mary Everatt. After her death, he married Margery (Margaret) Winsley or Winslow.
The author of the History of the Osgood Family, as well as the author of The Osgood Family, states that he was indebted to Mr. Harrison of the College of Arms who supplied a pedigree which was found in a private collection there. Mr. Harrison stated that he believed that Christopher was the name of the father of Christopher, William and Mary, and as the name was an uncommon one, he suggested that Christopher of Salisbury was the father of Christopher of Marlborough and grandfather of Christopher of Ipswich. He stated that it would appear from the pedigree given that this branch of the family is extinct in England in the male line. However, Mr. Harrison made Mary Osgood who was baptized March 17, 1632/33 in his chart the sister of Christopher Osgood instead of the daughter of Christopher Osgood of Marlborough, Wiltshire, England. Thus it appears, from the compiler of the Osgood Manuscript and the information found, that two different families in the private collection had been intermingled.
The parish register of St. Mary's, Marlborough, Wiltshire, shows:
"Baptized, 1632/3, March 17, Mary, daughter of Christopher Osgood.
Married 1632, April 21, Christopher Osgood and Mary Everatt.
Married 1633, July 28, Christopher Osgood and Margery Fowler.
Buried 1633, April 21, Mary Osgood."Christopher Osgood and wife, Margaret, came to New England in the "Mary and John" from London, along with Margaret's parents. He embarked with his family in the "Mary and John" of London, Robert Sayres, Master. While lying in the river Thames, they "were made stay of untill further order" from the Council on 28 February 1633/1634, woing to misrepresentation of the colonies by its enemies which had reached England. The Master was required, among other things, to give a bond of 100 lbs. that the service of the Church of England should be said daily on board and be attended by the passengers. And before the ship was allowed to leave Southampton, London, England, Christopher and all other passengers were also required to take the "Oathes of Allegiance and Supremacie", which they did on 24th of March 1633-1634. They arrived in New England in May 1634.
On January 5, 1634/35 the town of Ipswich "Given and granted unto John Webster, and unto Mathias Currin (Curwen), and until Philip Fowler, and unto William Moody, and unto Thomas Dorman, and unto Christopher Osgood, and unto Joseph Medcalf, to each of them, four acres of meadow and marsh ground as it will arise in 20 poles or rods, by the land side, unto them, their heirs or assigns, lying northward of the Town, the marsh is not limited unto them." On January 26, 1634/35, "Given and granted unto Mr. (Richard Wa(ttles), Mr. (John) Fawn and to Philip Fowler, and to Goodman Adrews, and to Christopher Osgood, a Hill of ground containing 30 acres of land, unto each of them 6 acres of land and unto their heirs forever."
April 20, 1635, "Granted to Philip Fowler, thirty-four acres of land lying on the northwest side of the mile river, having the land of Richard Jacob on the northeast, and Mr. Woomansey's farm on the sourthwest. Likewise six acres of meadow lying towards the neck, having the little neck on the northeast, Christopher Osgood on the northwest, and Mr. Thomas Bresey on the southwest. Likewise six acres of planting ground on the hill north side of the town, having Christopher Osgood's towards the northwest and George Varnham southeast."
The grant to Christopher in 1635 was "six acres of meadow towards the Neck, having Philip Fowler east, and a Creek on the northwest, also six acres of planting ground upon the hill, on the north side of the Town, having Philip Fowler on the east, and Robert Andrews on the west, and John Cross on the south."
According to Abraham Hammett, in 1635, he had a house lot granted to him, having John Proctor's houselot on the south, John Robinson on rhe north, William Fuller east, and a swamp west.
On May 16, 1635, Christopher took the Freeman's Oath, although Abraham Hammatt states he took the oath at Boston on May 6 1635.
In 1636 "Granted Philip Fowler, one house lot in the cross street called the meeting house lane, being about one acre of ground, having John Gage his house lot on the southeast, and Thomas Scott's houselot on the northwest. Also ten acres of upland lying beyond Muddy river, within the common fence, having ten acres of the like land of John Webster's on the southeast, and ten acres of Christopher Osgood's on the northwest. Also six acres of meadow near the highway to Jeffries neck, having a parcel of meadow of Mr. (John) Tuttle's on the south, and a parcel of meadow of Christopher Osgood's on the north."
In 1641/2, he was a brickmaker. On the 1st instance, 12th month (Dec. 1) 1641/2, he deeded to Moses Pengry land on the north side of the river bounding southeast on Philip Fowler's land. This deed of Christopher Osgood's was witnessed by Philip Fowler (his father-in-law).
In 1642, he was on Jury of Trials at Ipswich Court. He was also on Jury of Trials in 1648 and 1650.
His will, as recorded in Essex Probate Book 1: 234, reads:

Register of St. Mary's Church, Marlborough, Wiltshire, England shows marriage of Margaret and Christopher Osgood.
Margaret and husband, Christopher Osgood, came to New England in the "Mary and John" from London. On this vessel were also the parents of Margaret. Before being allowed to leave London, all passengers of the ship were required to the "Oathes of Allegiance and Supremacie" on the 24 of March 1633-1634. They arrived in New England in May 1634.
After the death of Christopher Osgood, Margery married second Thomas Rowell of Salisbury. Her third marriage was to Thomas Coleman and her last marriage was to Thomas Osborne.
His will, as recorded in Essex Probate Book 1: 234, reads:
"I, Christopher Osgood of Ipswich, being weake in body, but of perfect understandinge & memory, doe comitt my soule into the hands of my redeemer, & concerning that little Estate the Lord hath lent mee, this is my last will & testament.

On Oct. 15, 1650, the widow, Margery, petitioned for an abatement of the portions given by the estate of Christopher Osgood, to the eldest daughter, second daughter, eldest son, who was to have the house and land, and that to pay to the two younger children, when 18 years of age, because the property did not prove sufficient. The petition was recorded on Dec. 15, 1650.
Soon after 1650, Margery married her second husband, Thomas Rowell, after entering into the following marriage contract:
"Know all men by these presents, yt I, Thomas Rowell of Salisbury, doe hereby covenant & make this agremt, concerning Margere Ossgood, ye widdow of Christopher Ossgood of Ipsweich, whoome God willing, I intend to make my Lawfull wife, & now being in perfect healthe, sense & memory, doe bind myselfe, to the premisses ffollowing: -- Videly: -- As I take her to be my loving wife, soe I freely take her issue, being two sonnes, & two daughters, as my one, to endeavor to bring them upp, as a ffather ought to doe: & ffurther more, I bind myselfe, that the said Margere shall quiettly ennoy & possesse, the halfe of my estate, which I shall be possessed withall, when it shall please God to change my life, besides the part of portion of goods, which I shall have with her, paying to the said issue, there severall portons, mentioned in there ffathers will, according to the appointed times, out of the said estate, which I shall enjoy with her.

April 5, 1659, Thomas, carpenter, with wife Marjery, sold Lieut. Robert Pike of Salisbury "all my farm in the said town of Salisbury, containing by estimation, six score acres, be it more or less, viz.: twenty acres of it was granted by the town of Salisbury, forty acres bought of Mr. Samuel Hale, and forty acres bought of Mr. Thomas Bradbury, which was sometime John Hoge's; all which several parcels of land, are situate, lying, and being within the bounds of Salisbury, up at the new town" for 14 pounds.
He died in Andover. An inventory was taken June 16, 1662 showing an estate amounting to 156 pounds, 10 shillings, 2 pence. The inventory was allowed Sept. 30, 1662, when Margery, his widow, was administratrix of estate. By contract before marriage, margery was to have half the estate. The court ordered 20 pounds, 10 shillings to be paid to Jacob Rowell, his son, when 21 years of age and to his grandchildren, the children of Valentine Rowell. The eldest son of his grandchildren was to receive 7 pounds, 4 shillings. The other five grandchildren were to receive 20 shillings apiece. Additional inventory was sworn to in 1681 when his son, Jacob, was appointed to take the place of Margary, his widow. Jacob is then called the only child who had then become of age. He was appointed administrator because Margary, the widow, had moved out of the jurisdiction to Nantucket. Jacobe speaks of an agreement between his father and mother before marriage. The appraisers were Dudley Bradstreet and Thomas Chandler. Some of the estate was on the Indian Plains, being the third division meadow, on the west side of Shawshine river, and upland in the swamp division.
On July 15, 1670, "Margery Coleman, administratrix to the estate of Thomas Rowell, my former husband, late of Andover, deceased, with the full consent of Thomas Coleman, of the Island of nantuckett, my present Husband" for 3 pounds "payd by my son Christopher Ossgood, of Andover, Joyner" sells land on northwest side of Shawshine river, in Andover. The witnesses were Governor Simon Bradstreet, Dudley Bradstreet, and Marcy Bradstreet.
After Thomas Osborne, a minister, was fined and imprisoned for his belief and fled from persecution to Nantucket, Margery took him for her fourth husband. He sent a letter to George Little of Newbury, dated "Nantucket Island, 25 of the 8 month, 1682" which was published in the New England Hist. Gen. Register, 1862, pg. 25, from which is quoted the following:
"This is further to let you understand, I have married to one Margery Colman, a widdow, on the island Nantucket, where I now am. I believe God hath provided for me & given me a meet help, a very loving wife, one in charity & walking, & I judge for the Lord, & a true lover of the pepell & church of the Lord, & I se nothing but the Lord blessing our indavors, we may live comfortably, though both aged & but crazy. ....I & my wife, entreat you to remember our harty love, to our brother Chandler & his wife, & all their children, intreating him, if he have my husband Colman's mind, which himself did write, & my husband Colman did set his hand to it, how he would leave me a confortable maintynance, if he died, & left me a widow. My wife desires, he wold be pleased, to send it, if he have the same, as judging it might be of great benefit & use unto her, for her husband Colman's sons, deals very hardly by her, & keeps & takes what they can from me, and requites me very unworthlly, for all my care & endeavors for their good, which is a great grief & trouble unto me, but we trust the Lord will bear us up & grant what is necessary, and give us contentment in our spirits, in that portion he in his wisdom shall carve out unto us."
In her estate, Margery who was known as Margery Colman of Nantucket left 5 pounds to Abigail. By deed dated May 27, 1673, the payment was to be paid by her brother Thomas of Newbury one year after her mother's death.
On April 1, 1665, Christopher agreed to pay all the debts of his mother. Christopher took an oath to this agreement in Court in March 1672 because he was being sued by heirs of Thomas Rowell. He offered them the value in land but they wanted it in money. On Oct. 2, 1666, he sold the dwelling house and grounds in Ipswich left him by his father to Thomas Metcalf.
On May 27, 1673, Christopher occupied the house and land of his mother, Margery Colman of Nantucket, in which she had lived with her former husband, Thomas Rowell. On June 8, 1675, she mentioned that she had let her house and land for twelve years to her son, Christopher of Andover. He was to pay her 15 pounds at the expiration of the twelve years. On that date, she oredered him to pay it to her son Thomas Osgood. This deed of gift received by Thomas from his mother, Margery Colman of Nantucket, late of Andover, gives him the dwelling house, barn, land, etc. "wherein I lately dwelled in my former husband Thomas Rowell, his tyme" and he is to "pay, or cause to be payd unto my sonn Jacob Rowell, the full sum of Twenty nyne pounds ten shillings, when he comes to the age of twenty one years, according to the order of court," and to her daughters Abigail Wilson, and Deborah Ross (Russ), 5 pounds each.
In 1675, Thomas Osgood was to receive, by the order of his mother, from his brother Christopher, 15 pounds towards paying the above portion to Jacob Rowell.
