For many years she was a midwife and is said to have officiated at the birth of over one thousand children in Whately and adjoining towns, turning out day or night and mounted on the back of her sure-footed horse, never hesitated to ride in the darkest night upon a smart gallop. I have often heard old people tell of her daring riding in the dark, when they felt afraid to keep up with her. In her saddle bags she carried all that she needed. Her mother lived with her some years before she died at the great age of 99 years, 9 months, dying 18 Aug 1791. In her extreme age her mental faculties almost entirely failed her and for several years she was literally in her second childhood, having to be fed, and would amuse herself by dressing and undressing her doll, and other childish sports. About a week before her death, her mind suddenly brightened up and she spoke intelligently of the Rev. Mr. Williams of Hatfield, her former pastor, and repeated the whole of the assembly's shorter catechism, questions, answers and proof texts. Then she gradually sunk away and died as a candle goes out in its socket.

I need help in getting my Hannah Osborns straighten out. The John Osborn that married Ann Oldage (only child of Richard Oldage) They had a daughter Hannah on Dec 18, 1657 at Windsor, Weymouth, MA. Does anyone have the birth records for this town to see if it was 1657 or 1651 and if it listed parents.? According to Ancestry website below they have this Hannah (John and Ann Oldage Osborn) married 1st to Elias Shadock (DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT Year?) and Benjamin Eggleston in 1678. In the 2nd website below it has this same Hannah (of John and Ann Oldage Osborn) born in Dec 18 1651 and married to John Ashcraft (September 12, 1670 in Stonington, New London County Connecticut.) He died in 1680 and she married second? Deliverance Blackman (1695 in Stonington, New London County Connecticut ).

Prob. descend. are there; and one Thomas A. mariner from Boston, d. Sept. 1724, at Bay of Honduras, leav. will made here 13 Jan. 1723. In the third webpage has her married to first Ashcraft, then Shaddock then Eggleston. However, if she married Ashcraft in 1670, Shaddock in 1676 and Eggleston in 1678 There is a problem in Ashcraft didn't die in 1680! (The Minor Diaries) And what about poor Deliverance Blackman who was supposed to have married her in 1695. Eggleston didn't die until 1709? So the Hannah Osborn I care about is the wife of John Ashcraft. who was her mother if not Ann Oldage??? I check Worldconnect and most people have her with 3 -4 husbands. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____ 1st webpage http://members.aol.com/jancestry/JAncestry/newpage17.htm **** Source: The Descendants of John Porter, Volume II I.

Donna, I believe you may have the wrong county and state. By the 1650's, the Osborn's (I am descended from Mindwell, d/o John and Abigail (Eggleston) Osborn) had settled in Windsor (later HARTFORD County, CT).
