From a manuscript written by Alice Imogene (Jacobs) Ozmun 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, b. 1827]. 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]."

There are two references in this manuscript to a "Mrs. Jones." On page 15 Alice Ozmun records this statement, "Mrs. Jones writes, a descendant of one of these sons went to Orange County, New York and there had children: two sons, Abraham and John, who disagreed as to the spelling of the [their last] name." In at least one of the letters received by Alice J. Ozmun (1864-1955), it was stated that Abraham Ozmun (1764-1848) was married twice and had twelve children by his first wife and eight by his second. Alice goes on to write in her genealogy on the Ozmun family that twelve children by his first wife are possible, but only two by the second wife seem probable. The author of this genealogy believes that the other six by the second wife, Rachel Morgan, a widow, may have been her children from her first marriage to John Morgan.

(Private) Abraham Ozmun served as a Collier [one that makes gun powder], under (Captain) Nathan June, Revolutionary War.
