My KY ancestors were part of the Catholic community in Marion County. My grandfather, Felix Edward Osborne, b. May 7, 1861, was the son of John Osborn (spelling varies), b. 1834 and Letitia Cooper, b. February 14, 1839. According to family history records, John's father died in a drowning accident when John was 5 or 6 years old. I am convinced John is the son of John Fielding Osborn (aka "Felix") and Eleanor Yates. Felix Osborn died April 14, 1840. John Fielding (Felix) was the son of Thomas Osborn. Letitia was the daughter of Augustine Cooper, b. June 4, 1805, and Eleanor Thompson, b. Aug. 8, 1807. I have extensive genealogical data for Eleanor, but have no record of Augustine's background except that he was born in PA. Felix Osborn and Eleanor Yates had three children before his death: John, Caroline Teresa Anna, and William. The 1850 census shows an Ellen Ozburn with children Caroline and William, the appropriate ages, living with John B. Haydon and William Haydon. Could this Ellen Ozburn be the widow of Felix? Did she ever remarry? I would like to hear from anyone with possible connections to these lines so that we might exchange information. Marjory Osborne Sutton
