Sons; Samuel, and Michael. Grandsons Cooper Osborn and Adonijah Osborn ( under age). Lot at the Papermill Damn, a meadow called Osborn's Land, Land on the eastside of the West Branch of Rahway River, Between Thomas Baylie, the hiway, the river and the Jury line. Executors, son Michael, and James Carpenter. Wit Daniel Ogden jr., Caleb Osborn, Thomas Taylor. Proved Feb 19, 1760 Lib G pg 142
1761, Aug 13 Inventory made by Caleb Osborn and John Osborn.
Here you have Caleb Osborn Sr in Essex County doing inventory on his Brother Samuel’s Estate. Caleb Osborn of Rowan County was there by 1756, I find it hard to believe that Caleb would travel that Distance, over 400 miles to inventory this Estate.
From North Carolina Genealogy Vol XIV no 4 Winter 1968
British Records NC State Archivbes Box z.5.1769
Folio 111-113
Report of the Provost D Guard March 145 1781
Morgan Osborn, Caleb Osborn, confined by Major Desfurd, Prisoners of War, Taken at the Yatkin River.
Folio 121
Rebels confined in the provost 21 March 1781 Morgan Osborne, Caleb Osborne, Roan Militia, Recomed for Parole, Taken at their house.
As you can see that Caleb was arrested in 1781, by the British, for being in the Militia, if he was the Caleb Sr in the Essex County B 1704 he would be about 77 years old in 1781.

There is no record of the death of Caleb Osborn who was b in 1704 so Mr Cook says he died before 1779, this is the first year of the surviving Ratables for NJ , so Caleb did not show up in it
So the death of the Death of the Caleb in 1797 must be the Caleb Jr of the earlier records, and his son died in 1799.
I think if Caleb came from a family which earlier had relocated to this country, he probably came from this Thomas Osborn family, but not from these Calebs in the Calander of NJ Wills.
Alexander seems to be of a different breed than Caleb, and or Ephraim, of who is said is a Fur Trader.
Currently my project is going through all the Rev War Pensions, of all the surnames in thw 1778 Rowan County Tax list, who served from NC, Looking for clues. Perhaps a daughter married one.
This may prove more than I can handle.
The Mathew Osborn Line of Delaware is in Rowan County also, they settled in what is now Gulliford County NC
It seems that many, many famlies came from Lancaster County PA and surrounding areas, or at least stoped there for a short time.
Now I am hopeing for some connections, through DNA testing, that will lead us in some direction to look. As it is, the best I can hope for is to do surveys here and there.
