Biographical Notes
She married Cyrus Osborn (#1508). They had two known children: Cyrus (#1509) and Keturah (#1510). The will of Jared Landon (Suffolk County Surrogate Court Liber D:20; written in 1815, proved in 1816) gave instructions to free Zipporah and Keturah.
Oral tradition says she cooked for Judge Samuel Landon (Wayland Jefferson, "Southold and Its People in the Revolutionary Days (1932)," page 16). Because her name was uncommon, she may have been the daughter of Pomp an Dorcas, who was baptized at Mattituck in 1770 (#474).
