Mo Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Benton/11079 Surname: ------------------------- The 1840 Benton Co census images are now online at the link below, and a link is also on the "Misc Benton Co Records" page of Benton GenWeb. There are three Osborne families listed, in Lindsey Township, but no Hurt's. But William and/or Charlotte would not be listed by name in 1840, unless they were a head-of-household.
