Individual Details
Christopher Osgood
(Abt 1605 - Bef 26 Feb 1650)
There is a good deal in the Osgood Genealogy about Christopher Osgood and his making cloth at Ipswich. It was his father-in-law, Philip Fowler, who probably brought over the first cloth mill and who was really the originator of the great textile industry in and around Andover. On Christopher's death his widow, Margery, married as her second husband, Thomas Rowell on Feb. 26, 1650 at Salisbury. The cloth mill industry ws developed in Frye Village, near Andover, with great success and the whole line became important mill operators in successive generations."
