"3. THOMAS OSBORNE, baptism not found, but born probably 1594-5, as his cousin Thomas (baptized 4 Apr. 1595), son of his uncle John, was probably the "nephew Thomas Osborne the younger" named in Jeremy's will. 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. 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,* 18 Jan. 1621/2, MARY GOATLY, whose parentage has not been learned. After 1636, the family disappears from Ashford. When Richard Osborne made his will in 1646, he provided for his own children, and made children of his brother Joseph his contingent heirs. Probably that was because Joseph was his eldest brother. he did not mention his brother Thomas or the children of Thomas. That may be explained by the removal of Thomas to New England.
Thomas Osborne was an early but not original signer of the Covenant at New Haven. He was the Colony tanner in 1643.
