Elizabeth “Betsy” Gaunt (June 1818 – February 12, 1889) was the daughter of

wife of John Thomas Osgerby (January 31, 1819 – 1879, a son of Thomas and Lucy 
(Grassam) Osgerby of Timberland, Lincolnshire, England.

After the death of his first wife and two young children in 1849, John 
traveled to the United States with his younger brother Jabez Osgerby and 
settled in Racine County, Wisconsin where Jabez married.  Soon afterward John 
returned to England and married Elizabeth.  In 1852 John and Betsy emigrated 
to Milford, Oakland County, Michigan, where Elizabeth’s sister Ann and her 
husband Samuel Garner had settled.  John and Elizabeth’s first child, John

In 1854 John and Elizabeth moved to Richland Township, Delaware County, Iowa 
to homestead near John’s brother Jabez and his family who had moved there from 
Kenosha County, Wisconsin.  John and Elizabeth remained in Richland Township 
until 1873 when they returned to Michigan to settle on a farm in Denmark 
Township, Tuscola County, Michigan.

John and Elizabeth had six children:  John Joseph, the twins Miles and Giles, 
William, Jabez Kaleb “J.K.” Osgerby, and Elizabeth “Lizzie” Osgerby.  All of 
the children except for John Joseph were born in Manchester, Richland 
Township, Delaware County, Iowa.  With the exception of Giles and Lizzie, all 
of the children are buried in Riverside Cemetery in Vassar.
