I am looking for any information on John Ernest Osment, McMinnville, Tennessee/Woodbury, Tennessee/Short Mountain, Tennessee. He was my grandfather and the old home place was situated at Short Mountain, Tennessee where there is also an Osment cemetary. My father has always spelled his name with the "Os" configuration, but I am told by one of my sisters that my grandfather use the "Oz" configuration. I would appreciate any information anyone might have about him. He died in the 70s and was probably born right at or shortly before the turn of the century (1900). Thanks, Debbie Osment Newby >>
