An American Family History

Lucy Osborn Davis

Between 1 and 1.5 percent of births ended in the mother's death. Since the average woman gave birth to five to eight children, her lifetime chance of dying in childbirth was quite high.

Lucy was born on May 30, 1727 in Windsor, Hartford County, Connecticut. Her parents were Jacob Osborn and Abigail Foster.

She married Captain Isaac Davis on August 1, 1750 in Quabbin, Hampshire County, Massachusetts.

Quabbin, August 1, 1750 then Isaac Davis and Lucy the daughter of Mr. Jacob Osborn both of Quabbin. Entered into the marriage covenant with each other according to the Laws of this Province. Petaliah Webster clerk per William Carpenter parish Clerk.

Lucy's life with Isaac and her children are described in detail in the section on Isaac and Lucy Davis.
