At the time Samuel applied for his U.S. Revolutionary War pension on 16 Nov 1832, he told the court that he was 70 years old and had been born in Woodbridge, New Haven County, Connecticut. He also testified that since the end of the Revolutionary War he had resided in Goshen in Litchfield County, Connecticut, and after that moved to Lexington in Greene County, New York.
He testified that his service in the Revolution began in November 1777 when he joined the company as a private in East Guilford, Connecticut, under the command of Captain Dudley. The following spring, he was drafted into the militia stationed at West Haven under the command of Captain Asahel Kimberly and served for about a month. He was drafted for one month on two other occasions, one in January 1779 and a second in July 1779. He testified that at that time, he was living in the town of Woodbridge in the County of New Haven. He enlisted yet another time in August 1781, serving as a private, marching from Richmond in Massachusetts to Schoharie, New York, by way of Albany and Schenectady. From there he marched into what was at that time Mohawk territory. For this service, Samuel was awarded a pension of $26.66 per annum.
Samuel married Lucy (surname believed to be Pierson) in Woodbridge in 1786. After her death in 1832, Samuel remarried Elizabeth Herrick. She continued to receive his pension after Samuel's death in 1854 and during her next marriage to Moses Pendell. After Moses died in 1866, her application for continued payments was rejected.
The 1800 and 1810 censuses prove that Samuel was living in Goshen, Litchfield County, Connecticut at the time. In the 1820, 1830, and 1840 censuses he was living in Lexington, Greene County, New York. Land transactions support this census information. In 1850 Samuel was living with Elizabeth in his son-in-law's home in Lexington.
Goshen church records include a note to this effect: "This man was by trade a tailor. He lived many years on the East side of E. Street where the Hartford turnpike comes in from the East. They had a large family." The record also shows that they were dismissed to Lexington on Nov 5, 1820.
U.S., Newspaper Extractions from the Northeast, 1704-1930, provides this summary of Samuel's life on Saturday, September 16, 1854:
"Jewett, Greene Co., N.Y. Sept. 6, Samuel Osborn, Rev. Soldier. He served under Col. Willett in N.Y.S. He was one of the few who defended the old stone fort at Schoharie against the Tories and Indians and was in numerous actions along the Mohawk. He was born Woodbridge New Haven County, Conn. In 1762, emigrated to this State 1815 and has since lived where he died. Member Presby Ch."
