Now that is entirely possible as all my family have been from the farm or small ag towns that depend on farms to exist. Big elevators next to railroad tracks. Quite possible, but I think it all stems back to the census and who was writing it at the time. My mother always pronounced it Osburn, and one day I asked her how long she had been in the family? She told me 54 years. And I said "and you still have not found out how to pronouce the name. We are not burning we are borning, I used to tell her.My mother was from the big city and married into the little town family.
Then to it all goes back to England and where you lived and who you were too.
