I have almost given up hope of finding gggrandfather Daniel Farwell OSBORN (e). Born in Marlborough NH in 1805 m. in Sudbury Ma in 1828 (the family tombstone says) Died in California in 1851 (no town, no county, no death date) I am pretty sure I found him arriving in Calif. on July 28, 1851 on the Ship OHIO where it docked is vague. it says from San Diego, Ca also it had picked up passengers from another ship FANNY which had put into anchorage off San Luis Obispo (from Panama) in distress. He is in the 1850 census in Waltham Ma in 1850 with his family The family minus a daughter is listed in Waltham Ma in the 1860 census. (Can not find the daughter's marriage or death in Mass.) ANY suggestions as how to proceed to find a death certificate for Daniel Farwell OSBORN (e) in Calif. after July 1851 would be greatly appreciated. will take direct e-mails on this question. [email protected] PS I did check Mass for a death certificate for him.
