Private, Orange County Militia - First Regiment, AKA: (Colonel) Jesse Woodhull's Regiment, Orange County, New York, Revolutionary War. (Private) Isaac H. Osman was taken prisoner at the Battle of Fort Montgomery on October 6, 1777, and died a prisoner of war in New York City.
On the list of prisoners who were taken at the Battle of Fort Montgomery that was published in 1846 in the History of Orange County, you will find the name Isaac Hofman. The creator of this memorial for (Private) Isaac H. Osman believes this name was transcribed incorrectly as Isaac Hofman and is in fact Isaac H. Osman.
This list of prisoners was sent to Col. Taylor in Newburgh, NY and was intended to inform the families that they needed to send food and supplies for the prisoners. The Provost Marshal of the Prison, William Cunningham, confessed later to selling the food and supplies that were sent for the prisoners. William Cunningham was later found guilty of financial crimes and was executed in London on August 10, 1791.
Isaac's parents were Isaac Osman (1701-1786) and Mary (Bailey) Osman, who were married October 27, 1726, Southold, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
Isaac Osman & Mary (Bailey) Osman were the parents of:
Margaret, b. 1727
Ezekiel, b. 1729, d. after 1775
Mary (1731-1787), wife of John Williamson
(Pvt.) Israel Osman (1736-1778)
(Pvt.) Isaac H. Osman (1738-1778)
Jacob Osmun m. Mary Smith
(Sgt.) John Osmun of Lamb's Artillery
Author's Notes: The captain of the Upper [Smith's] Clove Company was Garret Miller (1737-1777) and the Ensign of this company was Aaron Miller.
Is there any family connection between this Miller family of Orange County, New York and the Osman/Osmun/Ozmun family of Smith's Clove?
