Ozment DNA Project- Background

Background

Last updated 1 Dec. 2008 For DNA MARKER RESULTS, please scroll to the yDNA table next to the very BOTTOM. A FEW (1 to 9) OF THE VARIOUS OZMENT ORIGINS-- PREVALENT FOR OUR CURRENT TEST PANEL IS JOHN OSMENT: (1) John Osment (b. 1672-1678, of London, to >1738 - <9-26-1749**, Talbot Co., MD) **Will of Richard Bennett III (1667-1749), wp 10-20-1749 [Catholic, s/o Henrietta Maria (Neale) Bennett Lloyd (Mrs. Philemon Lloyd of Wye)] *31 Jan. 1709/10 -- London (witnessed Richard Bennett's power-of-attorney document, London) *22 Mar. 1709/10 -- Talbot Co., MD (poss. wit., land div.: Chas. & Wm. Walker; ref. on 9/3/1713) *03 Sep. 1713 -- Talbot Co., MD (land witness: Wm. Walker & Richard Bennett) *24 Apr 1710 -- Bennett in Talbot Co., MD, record. (P.W. Coldham's book shows Bennett to have been involved in bringing people to MD on several occasions.) Immigrated 1710-1713 to Maryland's Eastern Shore, poss. Feb. 1710. North Miles / St. Michael's River Ferry (now Bridge), ISLAND HUNDRED, Talbot Co., MD. Occ: TAILOR / "TAYLOR." (haberdasher?) Married: Cornelia MORTON. (Dau. of Robert MORTON and Mary, poss. a Mary WALKER.) [Robert Morton next md. Mrs. Ann DAVIS.] John was next of kin to: Thomas and MATTHEW SMITH, JR., of Queen Anne's Co., MD, 1715/16. John's descendants (various spellings) went to Talbot Co., MD, Guilford Co., NC, Wilson Co., TN, and beyond. (2) James H. Ozment, Sr. (an oral tradition: AR, TX) (1755, Yorkshire / Lincolnshire, England) Occ: Farmer. Taught at an Indian mission in NC . Married: Martha Arden, d/o Chief Keoto's brother. Went to France (escaping debt). Immigrated 1778 to Charleston, SC (with Gen. Lafayette), Robeson Co., NC, Cumberland River area, and Wilson Co., TN. Other related legends mention Charlotte, NC, and John Lafayette Ozment, b. ~1780. (3) Edward Osmand, who married Hannah Hurst in 1749, Western Shore, Maryland. (4) John Osman, who fought in the Maryland Line, later removing to Montgomery Co., NY, where he died in the 1820s, leaving a son, John. (5) Jabez and Isaac Ozmun families of ca. 1790 New York state. (6) Ozment Origins in Alsace-Lorraine before England (one Guilford Co., NC, oral tradition) [Asmentz does have a Lorraine coat-of-arms in Rietstapp's Armorial General] (7) George Osment b. Lorraine, France Occ: Farmer wife b. Baden, Germany Immigrated to Buffalo, NY, <1870. May've later moved to Canada. (8) John Osment b. 12 March 1692 Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts son of: John Osment and Lydia A. Osment and Pol(l)y Osment, both b. 1810 MA, in 1850 Polk Co., TX, census. (9) Asmundi (later Osment) (an oral tradition?) Origins in Italy. Occ: Overseer Married: Miss Estees, d/o plantation owner Immigrated to Gaffney, NC. Descendants moved to TN (Knoxville, Nashville, Memphis) and Pine Bluff, AR. Most successful Osments are farmers in N.E. AR. Osment Family Reunion is every June or July. --------------- PARENTS OF JOHN OSMENT OF LONDON AND MARYLAND-- John Osment, tailor, was the adult son, John Osman, of London haberdasher (men's clothier), James Osman (PCC WILL 13 Jun 1699; wp 31 May 1701) and Frances Osman Gurnett (PCC WILL 12 Nov 1702; wp 16 Apr 1708), who himself took over the shop bequeathed to him in 1701. James' leased shop was on Lombard Street (St. Mary Woolnoth Parish), in City Centre, London, which was just across from the bank and stock exchange, and a few blocks from Lloyd's of London and London Bridge. It would have been an easy and logical place for visiting Richard Bennett to have become acquainted with John Osment. By 1690 (Boyd's) or between 1692 and Dec. 1699 (SJG vestry minutes), James and Frances Osman had resided and/or worshipped within St. James Garlickhithe Parish, London. James' age at death has been searched (but not found). He may've been born circa 1640-1647 (bapt. 15 Dec. 1644, Kingsclere, Hampshire). Garlickhithe is missing the years 1682-1707. But, even Frances' death was not included in 1708, nor that of Thomas Gurnett, glazier (wp 9 May 1709). Thomas' daughter, Elizabeth (by a first wife), was mentioned as having died in Garlickhithe in 1677. James Osman and Thomas Gurnett were both on the church's "Comon Counsell" in the 1690s. Marriage CDs were ordered from England to search for James and Frances, but they yielded nothing. She may've been a Woodrow, Baggs, or Gibbs, as those were surnames of her cousins, as mentioned in her will. He sister, Catian, first married a York and then a Richmond. Frances Osmond and Thomas Gurnett wed 4 Dec. 1701, St. Katherine by the Tower. ----- Signatories in the 1710 Bennett Power of Attorney document witnessed by John Osment were close neighbors of the Osman haberdashery -- Notary Public(k), Robert(us) Torrens, was buried at St. Leonard Eastcheap. Witness David Greenhill, Jun., was married at St. Michael Cornhill. His father was baptized at St. Dionis Backchurch. Designated as having the POA, the merchant Hen. [Henry] Robinson, was a goldsmith on Lombard Street, poss. near Three Kings Court. ----- At St. Mary Woolnoth on 13 Nov. 1550 Bartholomewe Osmonde wed Garter Polle. PCC WILLS and more -- http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/wills.asp "London Inhabitants within the Walls 1695," pub. 1966, listed the following.

OSMOND, Servant to Geo. Cooperthwayte ----- INHABITANTS OF LONDON IN 1638 (ONLY ***TWO*** LISTED) St. Andrew's in the Wardrobe MR. OSMON St. Leonard's, Foster Lane WILLIAM OSMON [goldsmith]* *No such goldsmith. Actually, he was a chandler. Perhaps he shared rent with a goldsmith (such as a candlestick maker). ----- http://british.history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=32023 "INHABITANTS OF LONDON IN 1638" ST. LEONARD'S, FOSTER LANE William Ward, Parson Ibidem 21 May 1638 MS. p. 167 Thomas SMITH -- 12 Edward SMITH -- 16 Francis GIBBS -- 16 <= William SMITH -- 14 MS. p. 171 William GIBBS [Common Councillor] -- 40 William OSMON [goldsmith] -- 20 [only three doors apart from each other] Plus -- William CHAMBERLIN [mercer] -- 16 William SYMONDS [taylor] -- 10 ----- William OSMOND married Jone READE on 09 Feb. 1635/36, in Saint Gregory by Saint Paul, London, London, England. No children were listed in parish register. The church was destroyed in the 1666 fire and not rebuilt. This parish adjoins St. Andrew's in the Wardrobe and St. Paul's adjoins St. Leonard's, Foster Lane. St. Leonard's was really close to St. Paul's, which in turn was reasonably close to both St. James Garlickhithe and St. Mary Woolnoth. Could this William be the Wm. Osmon, goldsmith, of St. Leonard's, F.L., for which parish the records exist only for 1639-40 (due to the 1666 London fire)? The church was not rebuilt. William Osman was a tallow chandler on Ivy Lane on Paternoster Row behind St. Paul's per his "merchant token" and the record of apprentices hired under him. His first apprentice was from Leighton Buzzard, Bedforshire, which was William's most likely origin, given the IGI. Mr. Osmon of St. Andrew's appears to have been John Osmon, but his three children did not include a James. Two other men with only daughters were seemingly temporary parishioners. http://www.gendocs.demon.co.uk/city-ch.html ---------- 1585 will -- William Osman, cooper, Kingsclere, Hampshire (Hampshire Record Office, Winchester) Thus: a history of Osmans as coopers. ----- (3) James Osmond / Osman + Anne Unknown (2) James Osman + Frances Unknown (1) John Osman / Osment + Cornelia Morton [d/o Robert Morton + Mary (Walker ?) ] James -- Kingsclere and Whitchurch, Hampshire, cooper (barrel maker) James -- London haberdasher John -- London vintner and haberdasher + Mayland tailor I was told that a2a (Archive to Archive) will have all of London's baptisms online (including Middlesex and Surrey) in about another 18 months. This will include an index and the origninals. So far, I have not found John's baptism or Frances's marriage to James in all my purchased parish register CDs and on Origins.net. Here, the PCC wills have been the workaround thus far. John's London Vintner's Apprenticeship to Thomas Thead (Theed) 2 Mar. 1692/3 to ? [1699(?); film on order] "John Osman, son of James, citizen (of London) and haberdasher" The vintner's trade used barrels too. [A 1680 Osmand in Kingsclere was a beer maker.] John learned haberdashery from his father, James, either as a lad or in 1699-1701 (or both). James bequeathed John the haberdshery in his 1699 will (wp 1701). "Freedom of the Liveries" enabled John to pay quarterage (dues) in nearly any Livery field (except apothecary, etc.) having once completed any apprenticeship. IF extant, that quarterage record would likely indicate he transferred to Maryland (Bennett being the catalyst). [Example -- Fairfax Rashfield apprenticed in (1) Singeing and as a (2) Feltmaker; but he also hired apprentices from the (3) Haberdashers company.] "Fairfax Rashfield, son of Henry, saddler, of Dunstable, Bedfordshire." Fairfax and Alice were the parents of Joseph (b. 1706; sentenced 12 Oct. 1726; transported 1727) Henry was the son of Alexander Rasfield and Eliz. Smith (md. 12 Oct. 1715 Chalgrave; of Dunstable, Bedfordshire). ----- Wessex (West Saxons) ... Clere, called King's Clere after Alfred the Great mentioned its church in his 899 will. Parish Fiche (Hampshire Record Office, Winchester) James Osmond "sonn of n bap." [no mothers' names given in register] (n = namen/name)] [Priest unable to remember -OR- baseborn child/b__d ?] --- bapt. 6 Jan. 1617/8, Kingsclere, Hampshire d. aft. 1675, Whitchurch, Hampshire (59 miles west of London) occ.: cooper --- [1675 lease for three persons (coper James, w. Anne, s. William) in Whitchurch on Bear's Hill near the King's Highway to London (Hampshire Record Office). Next to the highway, it was probably easier to transport barrels to London's docks than from Kingsclere.] --- Sons: Peter(?) (cordwainer, shoemaker; d. 1669); James (haberdasher); William (prob. a cooper). In 1704, infant William Osman inherited the Bear Hill property from his father William (Jr.?). Later, Osman Vincent of Newbury, Berks., had it. I have ordered the Parish Chest film that covers early apprenticeships and bastardy bonds. So, we'll see what we'll see. James Osman haberdasher bapt. 15 Dec. 1644, Kingsclere, Hampshire wp 31 May 1701 (PCC), London Guildhall and LDS microfilm -- James's London Haberdasher Apprenticeship to Ellen Boyes (Mrs. Ralph Boice) [hot presser & haberdasher] on Lombard Street (St. Mary Woolnoth parish): 6 Feb. 1662/3 to 7 July 1671 "James Osmond, son of James Osmund, cooper, of Whitchurch, Hants." Normally, the apprentice was forbidden to marry. Thus, while probably not pertaining, this marriage is nonetheless interesting. Rather than Frances, this shows an Elizabeth. James Osmond md. Elizabeth Page 2 Jun 1663, Faculty, London 4 Jun 1663, St. Bartholomew-the-Less, London There was an earlier James Osman, also a son of a James, bapt. 1 Mar. 1639/40, Kingsclere (having no subsequent burial) who married 17 Oct. 1666, Kingsclere to Jane Holdrip. (An apprenticeship would run 7 years beginning at age 14-22. That 1640 James is thus a better fit for the 1666 marriage, as apprentices were usually forbidden to marry and one would likely accumulate some additional money working before marrying.) James Osmont md. 1 Feb. 1612/3, Kingsclere, Hampshire Katharon Mont(f,s)oll [Katherine Mansell?] I haven't yet found a second James Sr. to account for the two James juniors. ----- Mrs. Frances (Unknown) Osman / Gurnett mentioned a cousin named MR. FRANCIS GIBBS, THE YOUNGER, in her 1702 / 1708 London WILL. Could the above mentioned man be FRANCIS GIBBS, THE ELDER, in 1638? Further, could the above mentioned Wm. Gibbs be her own father, three doors down from Wm. Osmon, goldsmith? I just bought all the pdfs of PCC wills for Wm. Gibbs of London, but none seemed to be that of the below mentioned Common Councillor. Likewise, the one 1697 PCC London will for a Francis Gibbs seems not to apply to her family. Maybe Frances' father was William Gibbs and her uncle Francis, Sr. / the Elder. Then was Baggs her mother's maiden name? Woodrow was the maiden name in common of the wives of both Gibbs and Baggs. There was an earlier John Woodrow in London. I think this is the actual connection, but Boyd's marriages has insufficient linkages. ----- A Common Councillor was an elected official in London's city government, along with the Lord Mayor and the Aldermen. I've read that a 40-shilling rating meant a Freeholder who was able to vote in Parliament. I'm not sure that's the same thing as Gibbs' rent of 40. ----- According to Relative Genetics, Ozment matches Wells 41/43. Orin Wells indicated that WELLS line was the one in Baltimore in 1680. That group "thought" their Wells might be from Yorkshire. John Osman was apprenticed to Thomas Theed, who many years earlier had apprenticed to a Wells, but probably no "connection." According to FTDNA personal pages -- William John NOLAN bnolan@kencrest.org MATCHES 33 / 37 with the OZMENT Modal. That Nolan was in both Liverpool and in southern Ireland. Are these surnames INTERCONNECTED? For example, did a Mr. Osmond Nolan have male offspring surnamed Osmond around 1156 to 1556? M.R.C.A. -- 450 years = 74.65% 550 years = 89.81% 650 years = 79.39% 750 years = 91.47% 850 years = 96.82% (if not related within 10 generations) --------------- IN MARYLAND-- John Osment's daughter (by a previous wife?) and/or next-of-kin was Mrs. ELINOR GIBSON of Talbot Co., MD (b. ~1711; widowed with ch. LYDIA and GEORGE by 1733; George GIBSON md. 1750 to Frances DEHORTY) John's sons were JOHN, THOMAS, and RICHARD (b. circa: late 1717, 1719, and 1721). [No sons 16 and over in 1733 tax list, Island Hundred.] --JOHN fathered JOHN (an Anglican church warden) by Mary FLOYD, who remarried (after 1752) to Archibald McGINNIS. John III's line remained in Talbot Co., having inherited land: NEGLECT. Issue: JOHN (III), d. 1822, Talbot Co., MD. --THOMAS fathered THOMAS, PRISCILLA, and JONATHAN. by Quakeress Priscilla DOBSON, who remarried (after 1758) to Quaker William TURNER. Thomas Jr. md. 1778 to widowed Rachel (Mrs. Bradbury SYLVESTER). Priscilla Jr. md. Wm. ARRINGDALE. --RICHARD (I) presumably fathered RICHARD (~1739-1817) possibly by a McDONALD or an ARMSTRONG (present in Talbot County), otherwise simply a son of John and Cornelia. [RICHARD OSMOND JUN. on 1757 debt list (age ~18?) of William Alexander's probate (along with Thomas Osmond)] RICHARD OZMENT, Sr. (~1739, MD - 1817, NC). RACHEL (RASHFIELD?) (~1739, MD - <1809, NC) Their SONS were -- SAMUEL, RICHARD Jr., JOHN, JAMES, and THOMAS. RICHARD I's son (presumably), later a RICHARD Sr., married Rachel, presumably a daughter (b. >1734) of Joseph Rashfield (1706-1751+) [(online) a London felon (Old Bailey: fenced clothing), transported to Talbot Co., MD, in 1727]. He MAY have married a McDONALD or an ARMSTRONG, present in Talbot County. [His brother(?), Jacob, was likewise a felon transported to VA.] JOSEPH RASHFIELD OZMENT (1801-1898) was a grandson of RICHARD OZMENT, Sr., through THOMAS. ----- NAMESAKES / NAMING PATTERNS?-- PRICE Ozment (b. 1805/06) was a son of THOMAS Ozment and Elisabeth RUSSUM. Elisabeth was the daughter of John Russum, Jr., and Africa PRICE, who had a son named PRICE Russum. John Jr. was a son of John Russum, Sr., and Johanna Neale. Africa PRICE was a daughter of Vincent PRICE and Africa Lane. John ARMSTRONG Ozment (grandson of SAMUEL through Jonathan), NEWTON McDONALD Ozment (great-grandson of SAMUEL through Jonathan's son Samuel), McDONALD Ozment (grandson of JOHN through Eli), and William LINDSEY Ozment (s/o John H. Ozment and likely grandson of SAMUEL) were apparently namesakes of their ancestors. Other NEWTONS included Harvey Newton Ozment (great-grandson of SAMUEL through William Lindsey) and Newton Francis Ozment (grandson of JAMES through Thomas). ----- Also within ISLAND HUNDRED, TALBOT CO., near Joseph Rashfield and John Osment, on the 1733 List of Taxables was ENEAS McDONALD. The name usually appears as AENEAS McDonald in the IGI. But, there was an ENEAS McDonald, so spelled in the IGI, born on 23 Dec. 1690, in Killin, PERTH, Scotland, the son of Alexander McDonald and Jean CAMPBELL. He (again ENEAS) apparently married Isabell DRYSDALE on 22 Aug. 1718 in Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland. (Clackmannshire is the smallest county of Scotland. It extends 10 miles north and south between the main body of PERTHSHIRE and the river Forth.) Their hypothetical daughter COULD have married, in ~1738, either Richard Osment I (~1721), or even Joseph Rashfield (after 1734). Similarly, there was an early Richard "D." Ozment in evidence, as well as early Ozments with "C." for a middle initial. Also, among "The Early Settlers of Maryland" was Enis Mackdonnell, who was transported in 1674. This much earlier date may throw off my theory, One oral tradition maintains a Scottish origin, which may actually derive from such side families as McDonald and Armstrong. ----- TALBOT COUNTY's Mary ARMSTRONG, the ~8th/last child and d/o Francis ARMSTRONG II (b. 2 Nov 1690-wp 7 Nov 1746, s/o Philemon and gs/o Francis I, namesake of ARMSTRONG BAY) and Mary PRICE (md. ~1708 - by 2/20/1710), d/o John Price (w 2/20/1710; wp 1713) Mary ARMSTRONG was under 16 years of age on 9 Jul 1740 (will), thus b. aft. 10 Jul 1724. But, as she seems to be unmarried in 1740, she may not be the wife of either Richard Osment I (~1721-1752+) or Joseph Rashfield (1706-1752+), who would've married in ~1738. Joseph would have married after his 7 years of servitude (1727-1734) at the Bruff's Tavern Inn. Rachel (Rashfield) Ozment would've been born about 1739. However, she seems to be yet unmarried in 1740, as she still needed to turn 16 to inherit her tobacco, etc., and was not referred to with a married surname (though not a requirement in a will). Interestingly, Rashfield is the name of a village in Argyll and Bute in the West Highlands of Scotland, whereas Joseph Rashfield was from London. Currently, there are Rashfield families in MS and AR, but there were none in the 1881 British Census. ----- Now, what about the recurring names of NEWTON, LINDSEY, JASPER, GREENBERRY, and ANDERSON? Could a LINDSEY or NEWTON, perhaps, have been SAMUEL's wife or mother-in-law in circa 1776 Caroline Co., MD, inasmuch as William Lindsey Ozment seems to be in Samuel's line as a grandson? Samuel's 2nd wife (>1810-<1819) was Mary___ (distributions). John and Edward NEWTON were enumerated in 1678 in Dorchester Co., MD (parent county of Caroline Co., MD) in the Nanticoke Indian War, the names resurfacing there as will witnesses in the 1720s and 1730s. Richard NEWTON was enumerated in the 1776 Maryland Census in Transquakin' Hundred, Dorchester Co., MD, the name resurfacing there in the 1810 Federal Census, being 30- 40 years of age. LINDSEY showed up in Someset, adjacent to Dorchester Co. / Caroline Co.-- James LINDSAY, to MD by 1671 Eliza. LINDSAY, to MD by 1677/78 David LINDSAY to MD by 1681 (Somerset Co.) Thomas LINSEY to MD by 1698 (Cecil Co.) David LINDSAY to MD by 1720 (Somerset Co.) 5 Oct. 1676, MD David LINDSAY to Sarah Connard, d/o Philip Connard 1703 Cattle Marks, Somerset Co., MD-- David LINSEY 1705 Cattle Marks, Somerset Co., MD-- David LINZEY 1723 Taxables, Anomesex Hundred, Somerset Co., MD Jonathan Cotingim, Thomas LINSEY / 2 Worcester Co., MD, 1748 soldiers of Capt. Adam Spence-- James LENSEY 24 __ 1749,, Queen Anne’s Co., MD Patrick LINDSEY to Sarah Swift However, LINDSEY also surfaces among descendants of John JASPER Ozment (son of JAMES??) and others. Mysterious! So, could LINDSEY, instead, have been the wife or mother-in-law of JAMES Ozment? Similarly JASPER occurs in DANIEL JASPER Ozment (1836), a brother of NEWTON Mc DONALD Ozment (1838), and Jonathan MADISON Ozment (1844), children of Samuel Ozment (Jonathan / SAMUEL) and Nancy Waddle. But, there was another DANIEL JASPER Ozment (Thomas / JAMES). So, perhaps Jasper, if not merely a fanciful name, extends back to the earliest generations of Richard Sr. or earlier. SAMUEL may have married in Caroline Co., MD, in 1776 (1758+18=1776), the very year that's missing from extant records. (Alfred Ozment's father-in-law, Owen Lane, Sr., also married in that same year and place.) JOHN should have married there, too, but is missing. PERHAPS his record was with itinerant Methodist minister, Freeborn Garrettson, who made many converts there and in Delaware. (His records are now someplace in NY). JAMES may have married Elizabeth ___ in either MD or NC. The family's move came in 1786 (Caroline Co., MD, land sold by Richard and Rachel) or in 1787 (Guilford Co., NC, land purchased by Richard Sr.) when James was ~18-20 (b. 1767). JOHN and JAMES also COULD have married in Delaware, but more likely in Caroline Co., MD (but not recorded or not extant). James might have married a Harrison (grandson James Harrison Ozment, 1801-1849, through Thomas, b. 1797). JOHN likely married an Elizabeth, possibly a SULLIVAN (Sullivans had a long association with the Ozments), or even perhaps an ANDERSON (or mother-in-law's name?). JOHN & ELIZABETH?-- (a) An Elizabeth Ozment (wife? / daughter?) performed elder-care for Florence Sullivan in 1813/14 TN. (b) John Ozment witnessed will of Daniel Sullivan in 1809 NC. (c) Eli (1785), named his sons McDonald (1832), Greenberry (1836), and John (1845), with a daughter, Susan (1843). (d) James H. (1793) had sons, including John Anderson Ozment and Eli W. Ozment. (e) Richard "S." Ozment (1799) had children John (1824), Elizabeth (1825), Richard Jr. (1841), and James (1843). (f) Alfred (1804) had children including John, Elizabeth A., and Susan. (g) GREENBERRY Ozment (1805/06) named his children John, Elizabeth, and Nancy. There was a GREENBURY SULLIVAN, but he doesn't seem to be directly related (perhaps John's brother-in-law?). Also, Maryland's former acting governor Nicholas GREENBERRY had no surviving sons, so surnamed. So, perhaps it's only a fanciful association, or from a female intermarriage with another line. Greenbury Sullivan, b. ~1776, Caroline Co., MD md. 1st ~1801 to Rebecca Collins (b. ~1780, d/o Isaac Collins and Ann Nancy Andrew) md. 2nd 29 Jun 1814 to Elizabeth Garey, Caroline Co., MD -----
