- He owned pew no. 24*, which was the last pew of the three pews to the right of the pulpit (sometimes referred to as the "Amen" pews). In 1840, this pew was purchased back and "made free for the us of any and every person that would attend religious service in the Meeting House."
* Borthwick's assignment of pews is based on the arrangement of the pews in 1930 (and present). Yet, he reports that the interior of the church was rearranged at some point which placed the pulpit at the opposite end of the meeting house. Whether the pews were arranged in the same way then as now is problematical.

| Notes |
- "On April 2, 1853, Charles Osborn was granted the liberty to build a wharf into the Great South Bay, 'against his own land and adjoining thereto.' It was to be 700 feet long and 100 feet wide, the grant being for a term of 100 years. The actual size of the dock that was built is unknown, but the remnants of this pier are still in the bay; yachtsmen to this day must be wary of the old stone pile off the end of Wigtel Lane. Charles Osborn owned several parcels of land, and his house was built about 1827, before the coming of the Bells. It still stands, later becoming the home of J.L.B. Mott and now the Gateway. It was built not far west of the Brewster homestead. Mr. Osborn died there in 1846, after which it became the home of his son Henry." Bigelow.
