From a manuscript written by Alice Imogene (Jacobs) Ozmun (1864-1955) entitled "Records of the Osmun and Ozmun Families," Alice records this statement, "From [a letter written by] Dr. Isaac Davis Ozmun comes this story as told to him by his father [William Andrew Jackson Ozmun (1827-1900)]. Two brothers came to Tompkins County in boats. They had a fight with Indians, and his grandfather's brother [John Osmun (1772-1845)] was shot through the body by an arrow but recovered [from his wounds]. These were the [two] brothers, who could not agree on the spelling of the name Ozmun [and both were probably wrong]."
