OSBUN. Ann was born about 1771 in NJ. A short biography (late 1800's) of Elmer Osbun, a grandson of Ann and Nathaniel (through their son Nathaniel O. Osbun and wife Jane MAHON HARTMAN), stated that Elmer's "paternal great-grandfather and the latter's brothers were soldiers in the War of the Revolution." I have determined that Nathaniel A. Osbun's father, Samuel Osbun (Osborn) (and my 4th Gt. Grandfather) served in the Revolution, but he had no adult brothers, only sisters. I am left to conclude that if the biography is correct, then Ann Emmons' father and uncles were the Patriot ancestors to whom Elmer was referring. Are there any list members researching Emmons ancestors, originally of NJ, who participated in the Revolution? Tom Osborn Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
