I just found out not that long ago that I am related to this family. I'm going to post the e-mail my grandfather's wife sent because In a way it't too confusing for me to write out...lol :o) "I came across a letter written to your Grandfather in 1976 from a fifth cousin who wanted info for the Osbun family history. Grandpa does not know her name. Here is what she wrote: We both descend from one couple- Samuel Osbun (Revolutionary War soldier) and his wife Sarah (Holmes)The Osbuns were early pioneers of Ohio and settled about 1813 in Richland County,Ohio.She (writer of letter) stems from their oldest child Nathaniel, while she says Grandpa stems from their sixth child Isaac Osbun. Isaac married and had at least eight children. His sixth child was Charles Osbun. Charles Osbun in turn married Anne Elizabeth Hand and their fourth child was Laura Cecilia Osbun. Laura Osbun in turn married Charles Lynde, who are Grandpa's Great-grandparents. Laura Osbun Lynde's first child was Edna Lynde who married Bertrand Miller and their first child was Rachel Dorothy Miller who married Robert M. Moore, Grandpa's Mother and Father. This person was trying to fill in inforegarding the Osbun family, but it seems to be helping the Moore family. She included : Laura Cecilia Osbun, born Feb. 11, 1852 in Richland County, Ohio-- died Feb 22, 1933 in Cuyahoga County, Ohio-- is buried in Pavonia Cemetery in Richland County, Ohio. On October 2,1872 in Richland County, Ohio, she married Charles H. Lynde. Charles Lynde was born in 1844 in Summit County, Ohio. He died December 16, 1917 Edna died in Cuyahoga County, Ohio and is buried in Mount Gilead Cemetery in Morrow County, Ohio. She had been married to Bertrand Miller who was born December 17, 1874 in Morrow County, Ohio. He died April 14,1930 in Cuyahoga County, and was cremated in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. They had \two children, Rachel and Laurence.Rachel was your grandfather's mother. Rachel Dorothy Miller Moore died about 1958. Her brother Laurence died about 10 years earlier, in about 1948." I'm just interested in learning about this side of them family because it was a surprise for me...most of the other parts of my family didn't come to the US till the mid 1800's or later. If this helps anyone out i'll be happy. I think it would be neat to get in contact with some of the decendants of this family. Lori Moore [email protected]
