Still hunting for information on James Osborn Sr. & Asenath Brady. James was b cir. 1740's, possibly son of John who died in 1770's. Diary of James Osborn Jr. states that he was born in the Kakiat in 1774 so I know they were there. Perhaps James Osborn Sr. was a descendant of the Osborns who came from Long Island. Has anyone located new information on this family? Asenath Brady might have been Broedie? I have not found Brady's in that area except for Sam Brady the infamous Indian hunter's family and I've found no Asenath in this line. The diary states that the family was not religious, but his father's mother was the only religious one in the family and I have no idea of who James Osborn Sr.'s mother might be. I would imagine that James Osborn Jr. must have known his grandmother to write this so she must have been living in the 1770's.
