Notes for Joseph OSBORN
496Joseph was a man of strong convictions and in the Revolution a resolute patriot. During the Revolutionary war, 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 and was answered "by the authority of the King." "What King do you serve?" asked the Deacon. The answer was "King George the Third." The Deacon replied "My King is greater than your King. I serve King Jesus. He commands me to go to meeting and I shall go." With this the old hero marched on to the church.
