  • Notes: 

  • Publications disagree on the parentage of Deborah Osborne giving either John Osgood or Christopher Osgood as her father. However, John Osgood names his children in his will and there is no mention of a daughter named Deborah, while Christopher also names his children in his will and there is a daughter named Deborah indicating that he is the correct father.
