  • Notes 
    • John Osborn was a subscriber to the Elizabeth Town church in 1694 (HHE p.284) and in 1696 was one of the signers of a petition in which the Elizabeth-town People sought for greater protection from the East Jersey Proprietors, as their lands had been pruchased through authorizations from Governor Nicholls (NJA 1st Series, 2:129). In 1699 John Osborn at a Town Meeting was admitted an Elizabeth Town Associate with first lot rights (HHE p.244). In 1700 he signed a remonstrance by the inhabitants of East Jersey to the King against acts of the Proprietors (NJA 1st series, 2:327; HHE p.247). In the land division of 1699-1700 he received Lot 148, located in what is now Clark (Picton) east of the L.V.R.R., (Elizabethtown Book B).
      On 08 March 17221, John Orsborne was a witness to the witt of his brother-in-law John Cory (NJA 23:111). He was included in the 19 November 1729 listing of the Associates (HHE p.312). There is nothing in the records to indicate that John Osborn was ever married, or that he had children.
