Thanks for such a great note of information. I'm not sure I'm familiar with the Osborne's which you have mentioned. I know that my Mother's family (Osborne) first settled in Virginia in 1619. Daniel Worsham Osborne married Patsey Collier and settled on Tuchahoe ridge near Dover in Mason County. One of his sons was John W. Osborne and then my Great Grandfather was Simeon W. Osborne who moved to Daviess County Kentucky. I have John Watkins family bible and from all accounts with which I am familiar, they belonged to the Christian Church. However, there may have been a Christian Church closer to their home in Dover. Again, thank you. Larry

There is a Dover Christian Church in Dover, but I'm not sure whether it's affiliated with the Disciples or not. Also, very close to Tuckahoe Road is the Lawrence Creek Christian Church in Moransburg, also not affiliated with the Disciples as far as I know. However, both of these Churches are very old and were probably around before the schism in the Campbellite movement which resulted in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the Independent Churches of Christ/Christian Churches (which are actually 2 or more sects - one permitting musical accompaniment, the other not). In addition, there's a Highland Christian Church out that way (Fern Leaf), but I think it's a newer congregation, and it's definitely NOT affiliated with the Disciples. Unfortunately, I do not have contact numbers on any of these congregations, but you might check with the Ledger-Independent newspaper to see if it does (www.maysville-online.com). Come to think of it, I did go to college with a Jen! nifer Osborne from out around Minerva, Ky, which is close to Dover. Have no idea where she is now, though. Also, on the northwest end of Mason County, the area you're interested in, and in neighboring Bracken County, there are "Osburns". Maybe the spelling has changed over the years.
