Surnames: Osborne Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FBB.2ACE/959.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: There were two Samuel Osborne familes who apparently shared common names of their children. I know one moved, or was in southern Ohio in the mid-1800's. My Osborne line moved during the Civil War from Virginia to Kentucky to Ohio. I have almost nothing on the family. I have about 8 siblings to my line and only one possible marriage partner. So, I can't help you there. I will keep you data on file and if I find anything I will keep you posted. I think we are in the same boat.
