But, as in all genealogy, there is always more to find out. I've found Andrew on the 1850 Census, and Andrew & Elizabeth on the 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1900; and several other bits of data about the family, to sort them out. Some of what I've put together can be found at my website: http://www.csd.net/~liz/genctr/IRA_OSBORN.htm, but the info is a little oblique, in that the Osborn and Donahue families intertwined several times... as this page is devoted to Ira & Rebecca Osborn's descendants, it ends up with more about Benjamin Franklin Donahue's older brother Joseph (who also had a son named Benjamin Franklin Donahue) than with BF. My research dead-ends with Andrew, where I first find him as a 14 year old living in the household of another family in Perry Township, Brown County, Ohio in 1850 (confirmed to be the same Andrew, since he and Elizabeth and oldest son Joseph are enumerated in exactly the same location, between the same neighbors, in 1860). I would very much like to find out who his parents were. I would be very interested in hearing from you. Please feel free to e-mail me directly (click on my name above for the address). Thanks
