Autorenporträt
American businessman and politician Samuel Osgood was born in Andover, Massachusetts, which is now part of North Andover, Massachusetts, on February 3, 1747. He died August 12, 1813. At 440 Osgood Street in North Andover, his family home still stands. In New York City, his home, the Samuel Osgood House, was the first Presidential house in the country. He was a lawmaker in both Massachusetts and New York, and he represented Massachusetts in the Continental Congress. During George Washington's first term, he was the fourth Postmaster General of the United States and the first under the current Constitution. In 1812, he was chosen to be the first president of the brand-new City Bank of New York. This bank later changed its name to Citibank and is the parent company of Citigroup today. In 1638, John Osgood and his family moved from Andover, England, to Massachusetts. He began a new village there in 1646 and named it Andover after his home town. After four generations, Captain Peter Osgood moved in and had a third son in 1747. He named him Samuel. Samuel first went to Dummer Academy, which is now called The Governor's Academy. He then went to Harvard College to study theology and finished in 1770. He later went back to Andover to start a job in trade.
