We have Christopher Osgood b. 1569, Wherewell, Hampshire, England
m. 1599, England
Elizabeth Brockwell, b. 1573, Wiltshire, England, d. 1612, Wherewell
children John, Christopher, and William.
Our information on that John is the same as yours,
except apparently I didn't record children for him and Sarah Booth,
probably because it appeared it didn't connect with ours.

Those generations have been somewhat messy to straighten out.
See the second chart I've just added to
 http://www.quarterman.org/chart/osgood/

It appears I have introduced a nonexistent extra Christopher,
because I have the one son of Elizabeth Brockwell as being born
c. 1600, with an unknown spouse, having Christopher b. 1615 as son.
There was some correspondence with various people about these
generations as the book was going to print, but I ran out of
time to deal with them then.

Interesting.  Yet another witchcraft trial connection, in addition to the
one through the Ways.

Presumably that would be this book:
