 Includes NotesNotes for Joseph Osborn:
The story is told of Deacon Joseph, a man of strong convictions and a resolute patriot, that during the Revolution, on his way to church, he was ordered by a British officer to appear forthwith, with his team and cart, at an appointed place to do service for the British army. The Deacon inquired by what authority the officer commanded him. The answer was: "By authority of the King." "What King do you serve?" asked the Deacon. "King George the Third." The Deacon replied "My King is greater than you King. I serve King Jesus. He commands me to go to meeting and I shall go." And he marched to church. He became a refugee to Haddam, Conn. Nov. 1776 and was permitted with his son Lewis to return to his family on Long Island January 10, 1777.
