Christoper was baptized in Newton Tony on Apr. 17, 1606. The baptism record shows his father as Thomas Osgood. He died in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts Bay Colony sometime between the date of his will, April 19, 1650, and when his will was proven, October 10, 1650. He is assumed to be buried in the Old North Burial Ground in Ipswich, but no marker or burial record has been found.
Christopher was most likely born to Thomas and Margaret (Skeat) Osgood in the village of Newton Tony, Wiltshire, England, which is about 9 miles N/E of Salisbury. This is based on the article, "New Light on the English Background of the Osgoods of Essex County, Massachusetts", published in The American Genealogist, Jan/Apr 2008.
Another popular candidate for Christopher's father has been Robert (or Christopher) Osgood of Wherwell, Hampshire, England. This appears to be based on the fact that Robert's son by an earlier marriage, John, and his younger half brother, William, briefly stayed with Christopher when they arrived in the New World. Although they were probably related, no documentation has been found supporting that they were brothers (see, Anderson's Great Migration Study Project for more).
Christopher married 1st Mary Evarett (or Evarard) on April 23, 1632 in St. Mary's Parish Church in Marlborough, Wiltshire, England. She died in Marlborough on April 21, 1633, shortly after giving birth to their daughter, Mary (linked below). She was buried at St. Mary's.
He married 2nd Margaret Fowler, daughter of Phillip and Mary (Winslow) Fowler, in St. Mary's on July 28, 1633. They immigrated with his daughter, Mary, and Margaret's parents, to the New World on the ship, "Mary and John", which sailed from Southampton. They arrived at Salem in May 1634 and settled in Ipswich where he became a freeman in May 1635. He was a brickmaker. John and William arrived on the "Confidence" in 1638, along with daughter Mary's future husband, John Lovejoy (among others).
Christopher and Margaret had five children in Ipswich: Abigail, Elizabeth, Deborah (who married John Russ), Christopher and Thomas. They, with Mary, are shown in Christopher's will.
After Christopher died in 1650, Margaret married three more times, to Deacon Thomas Rowell, with whom she had issue, and to Thomas Coleman and Thomas Osborne. Her date of death and burial location are unknown.
