     Abigail Osgood was born in 1636.² She married John Wilson on 9 April 1657.^1,2

     John Wilson married Abigail Osgood, daughter of Christopher Osgood and Margery Fowler, on 9 April 1657.^1,2
     One source gives his name as Sherburne Wilson.²

     On 29 August 1721 John Wilson sold to his uncle Christopher Osgood his rights to common lands in Ipswich, Essex Co., Massachusetts, that was part of his grandfather Christopher's estate.¹

     Elizabeth Osgood was born about 1638.²

     Deborah Osgood was born about 1640.² She married John Ross on 28 August 1663.^1,2
     It should be noted that the Lovejoy genealogy includes a marriage between John Russ and Deborah Osgood on 28 August 1663, the same date that the article from the 1859 New England Historical and Genealogical Register assigns to the marriage of John Ross and Deborah Osgood. The Lovejoy genealogy lists Deborah's parents as John and Sarah Osgood, John Russ's parents as John and Margaret Russ, and John Russ Sr.'s death date as 4 March 1692. The NEHGR article lists Deborah's parents as Christopher and Margery (Fowler) Osgood, and John Ross's death date as 4 March 1692. It seems likely that John Ross and John Russ, who married Deborah Osgood, are the same person, and that at least some of the information on John and Deborah's parents is wrong.^3,1

     On 2 October 1666 he sold the house and land in Ipswich, that had been left to him by his father, to Thomas Metcalf.¹ On 29 August 1721 he purchased the rights of his nephew John Wilson to common lands in Ipswich, Essex Co., Massachusetts, that was part of his father Christopher's estate.¹ Then, on 18 July 1722, he sold his half rights to the common lands in Ipswich to Edmund Heard.¹ His will was dated 24 July 1722, and proved in June 1723.¹
