Hello all. Looking for help on another Osgood, 1750 family. Anything would be appreciated. Does someone have the whole passenger list? I received the following information, except that about George Steorts(?) from a Storts researcher. If any one is interested, there is more. A Peter STOTZ family came to America on the ship Osgood, Captain William Wilkie, in 1750. Later spellings were STORTZ, STURTZ, STORTS, STOTTS, STEORTS, STEORTZ, etc. 1 Peter STOTZ, born Germany 2 Ludwig, Johannas Christian, Han Balthass------all born Gremany, died PA 3 Christian II, Johannas George, 1745-?, and at least 3 other children 4 John Jacob Sturtz (Storts) 1763 in PA-died 1852 in Perry Co. OH. He is a documented Rev. War soldier and was the son of Christian II 4 This is a guess: George STORTS or STEORTS was born near Hagerstown, MD in 1769 and died 1851 at Jane Lew, Lewis Co. (W)VA Was he the son of Johannas George Sturtz? Family tradition says that George (1769-1851) was the son of George, from Germany, and soldier under George Washiongton. Can anyone help with this? Many thanks.
