Dear new Cousin-In-Law:
I wasn't really looking for your James; I'd found him years ago and couldn't determine whether or not he was ours. From your very welcome resonse, I'd say the answer is yes. John and Sally (Nolen) Osborn's son, Samuel, is my husband's 2great-grandfather. Maybe you're just beginning to put together your family history, but it sure looks like you might have the pieces to help complete what I started at least 15 years ago. There are going to be some discrepancies but nothing major.
Below I've listed the John Osborn family members as you referred to them and in the same order, adding what I have gathered from original research and through correspondence with descendants of the other families -- some of whom were Osborns and others who used the Osborne spelling.
If you're interested in sources and more info on the family (and I sure hope you are), please e-mail me privately.
Carol
