Hi Fellow Searchers: I am looking for any information about William OSBORN/E born in England (date and place unknown) died in New York State (date and place unknown). He came to America with the British 18th Regiment of Foot stationed at Fort Pitt (Pittsburgh) in 1768 was transfered to the 5th Regiment of Foot and discharged on May 5, 1778 at Staten Island, NY. Moved to Boston and or Colrain, MA and there followed his trade of shoemaker. He married Margarett (Smith) DUNN on Apr 10, 1782 at Sudbury, MA and adopted her two year old son Malcolm DUNN. In Corain, MA four children were born, Thomas Aug. 28,1784; Polly 1785-1789; John May 15, 1790; and James abt. 1793. His wife Margarett died Apr. 1, 1801 and was burried at Covert Baptist Church Cemetery in Colrain. William moved his young family to western New York state bought a farm, died and is burried near the head of Seneca Lake Does anyone connection with or have information about this family.
