!    Thomas was a posthumous child, born after the death of his father. In turn, Thomas had ten children.

Thomas moved to Andover.  His sister, Abigail, was to receive 5 pounds from the estate of her mother, who had married and was known as Margery Colman of Nantucket.  By deed dated May 27, 1673, the payment was to be paid by her brother Thomas of Newbury one year after her mother's death.

On May 27, 1673, Christopher, his brother, occupied the house and land of his mother, Margery Colman of Nantucket, in which she had lived with her former husband, Thomas Rowell.  On June 8, 1675, she mentioned that she had let her house and land for twelve years to her son, Christopher of Andover.  He was to pay her 15 pounds at the expiration of the twelve years.  On that date, she oredered him to pay it to her son Thomas Osgood.  This deed of gift received from his mother, Margery Colman of Nantucket, late of Andover, gives him the dwelling house, barn, land, etc. "wherein I lately dwelled in my former husband Thomas Rowell, his tyme" and he is to "pay, or cause to be payd unto my sonn Jacob Rowell, the full sum of Twenty nyne pounds ten shillings, when he comes to the age of twenty one years, according to the order of court," and to her daughters Abigail Wilson, and Deborah Ross (Russ), 5 pounds each.

In 1675, he was to receive, by the order of his mother, from his brother Christopher, 15 pounds towards paying the above portion to Jacob Rowell.

On June 6, 1681, Thomas made an agreement with his brother Jacob Rowell, carpenter, of Elizabeth Town, New Jersey, for 5 pounds and 29 pounds, 10 shillings, "already paid by my brother Thomas Ossgood (aforesayd) to George Norton (1676)".

He sold land to his uncle, William Chandler.  He was living in Newbury in 1673 and in Andover in 1675.  He took the Freeman's oath at the same time as his brother, Christopher, on Feb. 21, 1675/76.  He moved sometime after 1692 with his family.

According to the History of the Osgood Family, it is supposed that Thomas moved from Andover with his entire family and is probable that they were in the Dorchester, Massachusetts, emigration which went to South Carolina about 1697.  The last account of him or any of his family in the Andover records after the birth of his child Mehitable in 1694.
