      1. “A Longstreet Family History,” by Rupert James Longstreet (DeLand, Fla., 1960), available on FHL film 2056005 item 3 or online at :
      “JONICA (JANE) m. (1) William Osborn, (2) Peter Knott of Deal, NJ (Stillwell Genealogy, By J.E. Stillwell, IV, 153; 8, 69). Her will is dated 10-10-1774. Order of birth of children is uncertain:
      i. Maycah m. 11-16-1749 ii. Richard iii. Catherine m. S. Osborn iv. Stauffel”

      2. Apparently at least two Osborn siblings married two Longstreet siblings or perhaps four married four; per “A Longstreet Family History,” by Rupert James Longstreet (DeLand, Fla., 1960), available on FHL film 2056005 item 3 or online at :
      A. “AWREY (AURY) bp. at Marlboro, NJ, 11-6-1710, m. (1) Catherine Osborn, dau. of Samuel Osborn and Katherine Pullion, of Shrewsbury, (See will of Samuel Osborn, dated 5-21-1754). He m. (2) Lydia Hull (NJA 22:242), d. 1793. His will dated 8-20-1791 (#8221L), proved 6-11-1793, reads in part..."
      B. “DIRCK (RICHARD) bp. 4-25-1696 in the Reformed Dutch Church in Brooklyn, L.I. (Historical Collections of the State of New Jersey, By Barker and Howe, I, 79). Bergen (Register of Early Settlers in Kings County, Long Island, New York, By T.G. Bergen) states that Dirck m. Jonica (Jane) and was probably dead at the time of his father's will (1739) but upon what grounds is not apparent. It seems more likely that this is the "Richard of Shrewsbury" who wrote will #2659M, dated 12-23-1759, proved 4-18-1761. The descendants who supplied data for Ogden (Encyclopedia of New Jersey Biography, by Mary B. Ogden), if they were well informed, made this identification. Richard, in his will, refers to his wife "my well-adored Alice". She seems to have been dau. of Samuel Osborn (1680-1754) of Shrewsbury, whose will #2307M, dated 3-21-1754, names his fourth child as "Alice Longstreet". Richard also refers to a plantation at Manasquan which his father "bought of John West and by his will gave to me" (Will #1001M)..."
      C. “ANNE b. ca. 1718 (Bergen). Probably the Anne who m. Samuel Osborn, Jr. as his first wife 7-5-1740, and had: i. Samuel ii. Mercy iii. Catherine (?)”
      D. “JONICA (JANE) m. (1) William Osborn, (2) Peter Knott of Deal, NJ (Stillwell Genealogy, By J.E. Stillwell, IV, 153; 8, 69). Her will is dated 10-10-1774."
