Your previous post in April stated that The children of Ephraim Osborne Jr. and Mary Brock were: Jesse, Rhoda, Hiram, Ephraim (d. after 1860 Harlan Co., KY m. Lucy Saylor); Rebecca (m. Benjamin Howard); and Mary (m. Amon Brock).
I am most interested in the OSBORNE family as a possible link to my MAJORS family in Montgomery and Wythe Co., VA.My ancestors, Thomas(2) and Ann MAJORS were originally from Pennsylvania, the Majors family having come from Ireland about 1736-40 and settled above Philadelphia.Thomas Majors' parents were Thomas(1) and Margaret (McLean) Majors, and they ultimately moved to Guilford Co., NC, when they were at an advanced age.Their son, Thomas(2) Majors moved to Guilford Co., NC, well before his parents, and was probably in Rowan Co. along the Yadkin as well.Thomas(2) bought land in Guilford Co., NC, but later moved to Montgomery Co., Virginia, and appears on the tax records there in 1788.
In the 1788 tax lists for Montgomery Co., VA, Thomas(2) Majors is shown with two grown and married sons, Robert Majors and Samuel Majors.I believe it is Samuel Majors who married a Mary "Polly" Osborne.Samuel and family moved to Blount Co., TN, and his father Thomas(2) later followed him.Samuel and "Polly" named their youngest son Osborne.Samuel died in Blount Co., TN.I checked to see if OSBORNE families moved to Blount Co., TN, also, but there is only one in early records (1795-1804) and his name is Alex or Alexander Osborne.
Robert Majors, son of Thomas(2) and brother to Samuel, eventually settled in Barren Co., KY, and there were other OSBORNE families in that area as well.
Do any of your OSBORNE men have a daughter named Mary "Polly" Osborne that could have married Samuel Majors in Montgomery Co., VA, about 1787-1788 timeframe?
I would appreciate any help you may offer and am willing to share what I have.
Regards,
