Samuel Osgood was one of a committee of 5 (Capt John Farnum, Mr. Nehemiah Abbot, Capt Asa Foster, and Samuel Holt) appointed on May 17, 1773, to prepare the instructions to Andover's representative in the Massachusetts General Court in response to a letter from the Committee of Correspondence of Boston.
He was one of a committee of 5 (Samuel Phillips, Esq., Capt Asa Foster, Joshua Holt, and Dr. Joseph Osgood) appointed on February 3, 1774, to respond to another letter from the Boston Committee of Correspondence regarding the arrival of tea in East India Ships with instructions that none of the tea could be unloaded unless the duty was paid. Andover decided to forward the "Resolves" from Philadelphia as expressive of their own sentiments and delivered a copy to the Boston Committee.
Samuel Osgood was appointed to a "Committee to Promote Circumspection" to take into account "the depressing Difficulties (by virtue of the "intolerable" Acts) to which this province has already been reduced and others that are impending over it" and to propose a form of covenant concerning non-importation to be subscribed to by the people of Andover. The Covenant was an important step toward the break with Great Britain.
