John Osborn`s father is reported as being Joseph Osborn, married to Nancy ( ? ) I have probate papers for Joseph Osborn who died in McDonough Co. IL in 1870. A John Osborn is one of the heirs mentioned in the probate. Osborn`s (all Spellings) are a difficult group to sort out, as they all named their children the same names, one would think that a pattern would emerge with the names, but can`t seem to find one. I would like to know more about John Osborn and Frances Hackworth Osborn, and I am especially curious as to who----Ouriah ? Cook was. Thank You: Sarah Osborn Lynch in Arkansas
