Any chance these Osbornes came from N.B., Canada? Several families in a small village, who were all involved with shipbuilding, went to New London & Groton to get jobs when the sailing ship industry washed ashore in NB after 1881. I haven't done any work on the Osbornes, but there was a family(s) in this village. Bill georgia willis wrote: > > I believe Mary E. Osborne to be the mother of James Henry Woodworth.
