8B. H. Davis, Reminiscences of Oxford Homes and People (Seymour Record - 1913), Chapter 5. . " Passing on short distance northward we come to one of the oldest houses in the town. It is known as the Clark Osborn placed and is located at the intersecting point of the Chestnut tree Hill road and the old Litchfield turnpike. This house was built about the middle of the 17th century and is of very ancient architecture. The Heavy oak lumbers that form the framework were hewed in the forest nearby. Some of them were large enough to hold the weight of a train of cars. This house was the one of Clark Osborn and his good wife for many years. Here were born to them three children, two sons and one daughter: Thomas, S. Ray F. and Mary.
Thomas married Miss Hawley of Oxford. He served three years in the Civil War, and returning to Oxford lived there most of the time. He owned and lived in what is now the Episcopal rectory, at the Center. He was quite an orator, and had been one of the leading politicians of the town. At the time of his death he was assistant postmaster.
Ray F. Osborn, the younger brother, spent his boyhood days in Oxford, but went to Youngstown, Ohio, in early life, where he became very prominent as a business man and politician. At the time of his death he was postmaster at Youngstown, Ohio.
Mary, the daughter, married a minister and went west.
Old Sergeant, as Mr. Osborn was known, was a very handy person to have in the community. He followed the business of getting out ship lumber. He moved to the Center late in life and occupied the house next to Sanford's store, now used as a stable He died there many years ago." http://www.our-oxford.info/davis-reminiscences/Davis-05.html.

The next place on our journey is known as the Williams homestead, another old landmark that has stood the storms of 188 years and is still in a good state of preservation. It is owned and occupied by Ransom Hinman, son of Anthony B. Hinman, late of Bethany. He married Alice Williams, of Oxford. He is a carpenter and works on the farm in connection with his trade. He is identified with St. Peter's Church and is an active worker in the interest of the society."

7B. H. Davis, Reminiscences of Oxford Homes and People (Seymour Record - 1913), Chapter 14. . " In continuing the reminiscences of Riggs street we will leave the main road nearly opposite the residence of Ransom Hinman and follow a crossroad for about three-fourths of a mile when we come to an ancient farm house known as the Andrews place. This house was built some time in the seventies of the 17th century, by a man named Finch, who lived there many years and reared a family of five daughters. I remember one very distinctly, the youngest, Sarah, who married Hiram Osborn. The place was vacant for several years until about the year 1854. The farm was then purchased by Nehemiah Andrews o Bethany, then comparatively a young man. He was twice married. HIs first wife was Phinette of Bethany. Seven children were born of this union, two daughters and five sons, namely:
* Jay
* John
* Dwight
* Adeline, married Charles Northrop of Woodbridge
* Emily married Leverett Lindsley, formerly of Oxford, now located at Emporia, Va.
* Dennis, married a widow lady form Shelton, named Fowler.
* George, married Sarah Crandall of Woodbridge.
The only ones now living of this family are the two daughters, Adeline and Emily. Dennis, Jay, George, John and Dwight all died while yet in their young manhood.
The second wife of Mr. Andrews was Miss Nancy Alling, daughter of Eli Alling of Oxford. Six or seven children were born to them and I think they are all living. Frank, of Oxford; Mary, lives in Newark, N.J.; William, somewhere in Montana; Charles in Seymour; Mrs. Fox (I don't recall her first name), lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Idella in Oxford (NOTE: She married Orlando Osborn, see below).
Mr. Andrews lived on the old homestead 35 years. He was a practical up-to-date farmer, and his crops alway showed good care and cultivation. For several years he catered to the wants of th e town's poor, and no one had cause to complain of the treatment they received under his care. His death occurred Feb. 16, 1880, aged 76. Nancy, his wife, died April 4, 1908.
Frank, who now owns and occupies the place, is a thrifty farmer and takes an active part in everything pertaining to the welfare of the town. He has a nice family and some of his boys are identified with the bit and auger industry in Seymour." http://www.our-oxford.info/davis-reminiscences/Davis-14.html.
