DESCRIPTION OF THE COAT OF ARMS.

IN a book entitled "Guillim's Complete System of Heraldry," in all its parts, published 1728, may be found the description of the "Coat of Arms," as shown in the frontispiece, which reads thus: Benjamin Osgood, Esq., one of the captains of the Blue Regiments of trained bands in the city of London, bears: Argent, three garbs, in a double tressure, flory counter-flory, Gules; on a helmet suitable to the degree of an esquire, mantled gules, doubled Argent, a torce Argent and gules, thereon a Demi Lion rampant proper, supporting a garb gules.

It is further stated in the aforesaid book that these "arms" were granted to Benjamin, by King James Stuart, First, of England and Scotland, as a coat of augmentation and concession, as displayed in the border (flory, counter-flory), being a part of the Arms of Scotland, which concession was only given in cases of military merit.

This episode in the Osgood family, it appears to the writer, is as worthy of commemoration as any event recorded in this memorial and is given for that reason.

THE DERIVATION OF THE NAME OF OSGOOD.

BY HOWARD L. OSGOOD, ESQ.

THE name "Osgood" is of Saxon or Norse origin and in derivation may perhaps be compared with Osbert, Osmund, etc., the syllable "Os" meaning, in Anglo Saxon, "God," e.g., Osbert, as handsome as a god. The last syllable I am not sure of, unless it may mean what it does now, and the whole name signify, as good as a god; it may be "Ostgod," good host. The name was not an uncommon one before the Norman Conquest; e. g., it is said that "Hardicanute died as he stood at his drink in the house of Osgod Clapa at Lambeth," at a marriage feast there in 1042. (Green, Shorter History of the English People, p. 97.) "Two Saxon monks, Osgod and Alrik, deputed by the abbot of Waltham, demanded and obtained permission to transport the remains of their benefactor (Harold) to their church," after the battle of Hastings in which William the Conqueror obtained his decisive victory in 1066. (Thierry's Norman Conquest, I, 178, Bohn's Ed.) The name is found in several forms: Osgod, Osgot, latinized Osgotus, Osegod, Ossgood and Osgood. A number of Osgoods are mentioned in Domesday Book as holding lands in a number of counties, and in Wiltshire, Osgot was a "tenant in capite," that is, he held his lands direct from the King and was probably a person of some consequence.

From this time on, the family is found mostly in Hampshire and Wiltshire. In 1295 Robertus Osegod was returned a burgess from Chippenham in Wilts.

Mr. Osgood Field has also communicated to me the following additional information: "The Osgoods for a century or two before the emigration of John Osgood belonged to the

yeomanry (i. e., farmers), a class which has been called 'the backbone of England,' but it is one which did not make much noise in the world and the history and deeds of its individual members are not often recorded in the annals of the time. I have found a few early notices of the family, which do not appear in my contributions to the magazine. The Osgot of Wiltshire, who is mentioned in Domesday as a 'tenant in capite,' is named as one of the 'King's Thanes.' (Among the Anglo-Saxons, this word means a person of dignity, a great landed proprietor.) The following is the reference to him, 'Osgot tenet dimidiam hidam in Scaldeburne,' etc. He was probably one of the Saxons who made his peace with the Conqueror and was confirmed in his possessions. Osgod, one of the monks of Waltham Abbey, assisted in finding the body of Harold, after the battle of Hastings. The 'Domesday of St. Paul,' in 1222, published by Camden Society, under the head of Drayton, mentions Osgod 'nepos,' who had house and lands there and Walter Osegod, who formerly was a tenant at Drayton. William Osegod, vicar of Bromyard, resigned that living the day after Michaelmas 1287. The 'Rotuli Hundredorum,' temp. Edward I, names John Osegod of Essex, William Osegod of Glostershire, Gilbert Osegot of Canterbury, John Osegot of Norfolk. . . . . From the frequency of the name at the time of the Conquest, when names were not hereditary, I inferred that the word had some meaning and wrote to Professor Skeat, our greatest authority on such a question, enquiring if this were so. I enclose an extract from his letter in reply. . . . Professor Skeat writes: 'My difficulty is rather with the latter than the former part of the word, as will appear (pronounced as os in host). The prefix Os means divine. It is Anglo Saxon. The Norse or Icelandic form is As (pronounced exactly as house, if the h be omitted). It is not very common in Anglo Saxon except in the names Osmund, divine protection, or divine protector; Oswald, divine power; Osurg (Oswy), divine war; Oslaf, divine relic; but the corresponding Icelandic As is very common in the sense of a "god." The plural

was ’sir (pronounced nearly as eye-sere), which was the common name for "the gods," i. e., Woden, Thor, etc. When used alone it means Thor. These divinities dwelt in Asgard, the divine yard or enclosure. You will find this in almost any encyclop‘dia that gives an account of the "Edda," or of Northern Mythology. See, for example, ‘sir in glossary to Bohn's edition of Mallett's Northern Antiquities, or see as in Cleasby & Vigfurson's Icelandic Dictionary. The long a or o is due to loss of n. The full form is ans, which occurs in proper names in old High German; thus, Anshelm, divine helmet or protection, not improbably the same as our Anselm; only if so, then the name Anselm was a Norman importation from the Franks, and not an Anglo Saxon name. The Anglo Saxon name would be Oshelm, but I never saw it. As it stands, Osgod (modern Osgood) can only mean "divinely good;" but I am not so sure that is right. The second part of such names ought to be a substantive. If you drop the second accent, it becomes Osgod, divinely god, which is tautology, and would not give the modern good. It seems to me most likely that Osgod was not a real Anglo Saxon name, but an Anglo Saxon adaptation of the Norse name Asgautr (in which the r merely marks the nominative case) and which would be latinized as Osgotus, the very form which you cite. Taking it then to be the Icelandic Asgautr, unluckily the sense of that word is not well known. Gaulr is (in the Edda) a poetical name for Odin (our Woden); it seems to mean "father." This brings me to "divine father," or "divine hero," either of which will do; and they come to much the same thing.

Another theory makes gautr, keeper, warden, from Icelandie goeta, to keep guard. This gives "divine warden;" not much removed from the foregoing. When we put Osgod and Osgot side by side, we know, as a matter of course, that the form ending in t is the original and that ending in d the later; this is safe inference when such parallel forms occur in the same language; or in languages related in the way in which Anglo Saxon and Icelandic are.'"

FIRST GENERATION.

I. John Osgood of Andover, Essex County, Massachusetts, was born in the parish of Wherwell, Hampshire, England, 23 July, 1595; died in Andover, 24 October, 1651. He married in England, about 1627, Sarah, who died 8 April, 1667.

Children:

2 SARAH, b. in England, 1629 (?); m. 1 June, 1648, John Clements,

of Haverhill. Ch. Rebecca. John Clements was of Haverhill

1645, perhaps at Marblehead 1651, representative 1651,

died by shipwreck on a voyage to England soon after. He was

one of the overseers of John Osgood's will and Rebecca was

mentioned therein. He was also uncle of John Osgood juniors'

wife.

3 JOHN, b. in England, prob. 1630.

4 MARY, b. in England, 1633 (?); m. Henry Ingalls.

5 ELIZABETH, b. in England, 1635-6, bapt. Wherwell, 14 October,

1636; m. 12 or 18 October, 1653, John Brown of Reading. Had

five daughters and d. 31 July, 1673. He d. 1717, aged 81. He

was freeman 1679, captain of militia, rep. 1679-80, 82-3.

6 STEPHEN, b. in Ipswlch or Newbury, 1638.

7 HANNAH. b. in Andover, 1644; m. 21 May, 1660. Samuel, son of Samuel

and Susanna Archer, who went from Salem to Andover. He

was freeman 1668.

JOHN OSGOOD upon his arrival in New England, which was undoubtedly in 1638, sojourned at Ipswich but shortly after chose Newbury as the place of his residence. There he remained until his removal and settlement at Andover which occurred in or just previous to 1645. That he had early determined to remove from Newbury, which in the view of the inhabitants, was already overcrowded, is shown by the fact

that he was one of the petitioners for, and chairman of the committee to obtain a settlement at Winnacu??ct, now Hampton, N. H. This was in 1638.

In September, 1644, an attempt was made to form a church at Andover the meeting being held at Rowley, as there were not sufficient accommodations at Andover, but on account of a technicality the organization was not effected until 24 October, 1645. The names of the first ten members, freeholders (as required by law to constitute a church), were, Mr. John Woodbridge,1 teacher, John Osgood, Robert Barnard, John Frye, Nicholas Holt, Richard Barker, Joseph Parker, Nathan Parker, Richard Blake, Edmund Faulkner; given in the order of their signing.

23 Nov. 1650. John Osgood, Senior of Andover sells to George Little of Newbury, all his rights in the pasturage belonging to a house he owned there and which he had formerly sold to John Pike of Newbury. This deed was not put on record until 28 Jan., 1701.

In 1651, Andover sent its first representative to the General Court in the person of John Osgood. His sickness and death prevented his attending any but the May session.

Evidently he was a man useful to the community and honored by his townsmen.

From the investigations in England conducted by Osgood Field, Esq., the results of which, as far as they relate to the American families, he published in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register for 1866, the following brief account of the ancestry of John Osgood is taken. Mr. Field found the name established in several counties at the time of the Domesday survey (1086) particularly in Wiltshire and Hampshire. In the year 1295, Robertus Osgood was returned a burgess for Chippenham.

At the Registry at Winchester, the following names of persons whose estates were there settled appear on the calendar, which dates from 1530.

1 His wife was Mercy, daughter of Gov. Thomas Dudley.

Peter of Wallop, 1534.

Peter of Nether Wallop, 1534.

Richard of Wallop, 1543.

Robert of Ibsley, 1567.

William of Nether Wallop, 1582.

Peter of Over Wallop, 1585.

Henry of Over Wallop, 1591.

Margaret of Nether Wallop, 1595.

Richard of Upper Wallop, 1607.

William of Fordingbridge, 1614.

Richard of Shipton, 1626.

Robert of Wherwell, 1630.

Peler of Romsey, 1639.

The wills of those italicized, can be seen at the Registry.

The subsidy rolls give the following information:

Richard Osgood of Over Wallop, 1522.

Peter of Nether Wallop, 1522.

Henry of Upper and William of Nether Wallop, 1570.

Robert of Wherwell, 1596.

Robert of Wherwell, Peter of Romsey, and Henry of

Upper Wallop, 1620.

William of Shipton, 1628.

Mr. Field says "probably Peter Osgood of Nether Wallop, who was assessed in 1522, and whose will was proved in 1534, was the father or grandfather, of Peter Osgood, whose will, dated 10 January, 1585-6, was proved 21 February, of the same year." He was buried 26 January, 1585-6.

The second Peter Osgood left a widow, Elizabeth, sons Robert (of whom more below) Richard, John and Peter, under age in 1586; daughters, Margaret and Elizabeth. The widow was buried 30 July, 1598.

Robert Osgood, the son of Peter above, was of Wherwell, a parish adjoining the Wallops. His will dated 25 August, was proved 17 November, 1630. In this instrument he styles himself of Cottingworth, in the parish of Wherwell. Cotting-worth

'March 23 d. 1637.1

'R. 3. d. Aprilis, 1638. Mr.

Dr. Stanley School Master at

Winton3 for a passe for

Jo: Osgood.

Mr. Field goes on to say, "Shortly after the above letter was received by Nichols, the ship Confidence sailed from Southampton for New England, and the following names occur in the list of her passengers,4 dated 14th of April 1638.--Sarah Osgood of Herrell [Wherwell] spinster and four children together with William Osgood and William Jones, both children under 11 years of age, and Margery Packe, servant."

"This Sarah was undoubtedly the wife of John Osgood; but why she is called spinster5 in the list of passengers is not easily explained. Possibly it is a clerical error, or her husband may have been a subsidy man, and consequently obliged to resort to some deceit to enable him and his family to secure passages. Such practices were not uncommon at that period."

"We next find John Osgood's name among the persons who were admitted freeman in Massachusetts on the 23d of May 1639. Soon after he settled in Andover, which place was so named by its first inhabitants from and of the principal towns in Hampshire, in the vicinity of which lie the two Wallops and Wherwell. The last named parish being less than 4 miles distant from it."

There is no warrant for assuming that there was any near "consanguinity of blood" between these three early Osgood Emigrants to New England. John Osgood was from Wherwell in the County of Hampshire, England; Christopher Osgood

JOHN OSGOOD lived in Andover in the house his father left him and where the first recorded town meeting was held in March, 1656. He was captain of militia, often selectman, representative in 1668-9, '89 and '90, and, as he had been imprisoned4 for nine or ten days by Sir Edmund Andros without warrant, during the opposition to his imposition of taxes in August or September, 1687, John Osgood was very popular

4Palfrey, Hist. of N. E., III, p. 524.

Mary Clements, wife of John Osgood (2) was the daughter of Rev. (?) Robert Clements of Haverhill, who, it is said, came from London in 1642, bringing many children with him; he was representative from 1647 to 1653, and died 27 Sept., 1658. The brother of Robert Clements, John of Haverhill, 1645, married Sarah, sister of the above John Osgood, i. e., brother and sister married respectively niece and uncle. In the deposition of Mary (Clements) she says that she had formerly lived in "the city of Coventry in Warwickshire, Old England," and boarded in the same house with a granddaughter of a former mayor of that city. She was one of the unfortunate persons suspected of witchcraft in the great delusion of 1692. Some girls in Salem Village, now Danvers, were supposed to have the power of detecting witches, and as the wife of Joseph Ballard, of Andover, was taken sick at this time, he was induced by his friends to send for two of these persons, that they might indicate who had bewitched her. The two supposed witch-finders, who were called "afflicted persons," were taken to the Andover meeting house, and after Mr. Barnard, the minister, had offered prayer, many persons present were blindfolded and their hands were placed upon these "afflicted persons," who fell into fits whenever a witch touched them. Mary Osgood and a number of others were accused as the result of this. Mr. Dudley Bradstreet, as justice of the peace, granted a warrant for her arrest and she was soon taken over to Salem, where she was examined on the eighth of September, 1692, before John Hawthorne, "and other Majestie's Justices." She then confessed that she was a witch, had been one for about eleven years and had afflicted several persons. "Her husband being "present was asked if he judged his wife to be any discomposed.

1 Which was at that time the "chief commander" of the militin in Andover.

"He answered, that having lived with her so long, "he doth not judge her to be any ways discomposed, but has "cause to believe what she has said is true." At least so say the minutes of this examination. Thereupon she, with a number of other Andover people, was indicted in January, 1693, by the grand jury and William Stoughton and his associate justices. Before this, on 16 October, 1692, she recanted before Increase Mather, saying that she was frightened and brow-beaten by the examiners into making her confession. After about four months' imprisonment at Salem, she with four others, was released upon the petition of Mr. Dudley Bradstreet and a number of other Andover people, who had come to a better state of mind. Her indictment is found in I Mass. Historical Collections VII, 241. See also Hutchinson II, 31, and R. Calef's, "More wonders of the invisible world," published in "Salem Witchcraft," by S. P. Fowler, Salem, 1861.

His death is said to have been hastened by his grief at these sad occurrences.1

II. 4 Mary Osgood (John), born in England, probably in 1633; died in Andover, 16 December, 1686, married there 6 July, 1653, by Mr. Simon Bradstreet, Henry, son of Edmund and Ann Ingalls, born in England about 1627. Freeman 1673. Died 1719.

Edmund Ingalls, the father of Henry, is said to have come from Lincolnshire. He settled in Lynn in 1629.

Henry Ingalls married, second, 1 August, 1689, Sarah (Farnum) widow of George Abbott of Andover. She died in 1728, aged ninety years. They had no children.

The will of Henry Ingalls, dated 5 July, 1714, proved 16 February, 1718, divides over 100 acres among children Samuel, Henry, John, James who is to have the homestead and is to care for the widow, Josiah, Sarah, son-in-law Joseph Stevens and Stephen.

Of God, the Judge, the great I am

It was a nephew, Benjamin, son of Dudley Woodbridge, who on the 3 July, 1728, was killed on Boston common by Henry Phillips, in a duel. Woodbridge and Phillips were boon companions and the trouble leading to the duel is variously stated to have been a love affair and cards. As a result of this duel the General Court enacted that any person killed in a duel should be buried with a stake driven through his body. Dr. Holmes has perpetuated the story in his "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table."

JAMES OSGOOD sold his estate in Andover, Mass., to his brother Samuel by deed dated 6 May, 1731, and moved to Pennacook (now Concord, N. H.), the same year with the first settlers of that place. He was a man of distinction; was chosen to the office of selectman and other town offices. His gravestone (upon which his name and age are engraved) is the oldest monument in Concord burying ground, and stands in the central part of the ground, near the monument of the

Chadbourne family. His widow kept a public house called "Mother Osgood's Tavern." All their children, except Anna, emigrated to Conway and Fryeburg, about 1763, and settled on the new and fertile lands of Saco River, where their descendants are very numerous.

Hannah (Hazen) Osgood, was the daughter of Richard Hazen, born 6 Aug., 1669, who inherited a large estate. His wife was Mary daughter of captain John and Hannah (Andrews) Peabody, who was born in the ancient Peabody farm-house pictured in Sidney Perley's "Old Dwellings of Boxford."

Mrs. Osgood's grandmother, Hannah Andrews, was the daughter of Robert Andrew, the ancestor of governor John A. Andrew of Massachusetts. The great London banker and philanthropist, George Peabody, was a descendant of Lieut. Francis Peabody, the father of Capt. John Peabody. For many interesting details regarding the Hazen, Andrew and Peabody families, see the New England Historic Genealogical Register, Essex Institute Historical Collections and also Sidney Perley's History of Boxford.

REV. JOHN BARNARD was graduated from Harvard College in 1709, and for two or three years was master of the grammar school in Andover. He was next called to the charge of the grammar school at Salem (1712-13), and to Boston 25 Aug., 1713. He married 20 Oct., 1715, Sarah, daughter of Edward Martyn of Boston. He was ordained over the First church of Andover 8 April, 1719, removing thither that same month; his first wife Sarah died shortly after his removal. He ministered here for thirty-eight years. At the time of his death he had two sons settled in the ministry: Rev. Thomas Barnard (H. C. 1732) first of Newbury (1739-51) and later (1755) settled over the First church in Salem; a son, Thomas, was settled over the North church in Salem, and died in 1814, making an unbroken line of ministerial succession in Essex county for one hundred and thirty-two years.

The second son of the Rev. John was Rev. Edward of Haverhill (H. C. 1736). Both sons were among the most eminent divines of the day.

John Barnard there were in Andover and contemporaries of his: John Barnard, husbandman, whose will is dated 13 Nov., 1753, and proved 5 April, 1756, who left wife Naomi and children, Mary, Rebecca and Sarah, one of whom married Eben Lovering, junior. His son Nathaniel had previously died leaving a daughter Mary. Another and eldest son was John to whose widow Alice, administration on his estate was granted, 1752; she died

1762. Their children were John, Sarah, wife of Jeremiah Kidder, Mehitable, Alice, Abigail, Lydia, Rebecca, and Jacob.
