Hello List! Decided to put my Osborn(e)s and Ross out there and see if anyone has any info they would like to share. I am stuck at that infamous "brick wall" and could really use some help or direction. My information contains nothing that has been documented, but here goes: JAMES OSBORN, born August 13, 1748 in 0range Co., New York; died Unknown in Lackawana Co., Pennsylvania. He married to ASENATH BRADY (possibly aka Brodie) 1773 in 0range Co., New Yorks, she being born Abt. 1752 in 0range Co., New York; died Unknown in Lackawana Co., Pennsylvania. James is reputed to have been a physician, and might have died between 1820 and 1830 (Census). The 1810 Census for Luzerne County, PA shows 2 James Osbornes and the 1820 Census shows 1 James and a Widow Osborne still within the same township as the previous census. Their Children reputed to be: 1. James Osborne, born July 21, 1774 in New York; died June 12, 1844 in Delaware Co., Ohio; married Lucy Juel Jewell 1799; born June 28, 1780 in Connecticut; died July 30, 1856 in Jasper, Illinois. 2. John Osborne, born Abt. 1777 Sussex County, NY?; died 1816 Luzerne County, Pennsylvania; married Rebecca McCape. 3. William Osborne, born December 23, 1778 in Sussex Co., New Jersey; died date unknown, probably in Wyoming County, PA ; married Elizabeth Holden 1796; born 1782 in Sussex Co., New Jersey; died Unknown. 4. Peter Osborne, born 1780 in Sussex Co., New Jersey; died Unknown. 5. Henry Osborne, born 1782 in Sussex Co., New Jersey; died Unknown. 6. Hannah Osborne, born 1784 in Sussex Co., New Jersey; died Unknown. 7. Polly Osborne, born 1786 in Sussex Co., New Jersey; died Unknown. 8. Betsey Osborne (aka Lydia Elizabeth), born 1788 in Sussex Co., New Jersey; died Unknown, probably in Luzerne County, PA. Married to William Ross, b. Unknown, probably in NJ, d. unknown, probably in Delaware County, Ohio. Children of this marriage are known. Information shows he remarried in Delaware County Ohio in the 1830's and had a son Nathan born to them in the late 1830's. No parentage is known for James Osborn(e) Sr., Asenath Brady or William Ross. I have found other info that some of the descendants of James Jr. ended up in Stark County, Indiana. It is assumed that both Asenath Brady Osborn and Lydia (Betsey)Osborne Ross died in Luzerne County, PA as well. Any help, assistanceor or leads on these families (James Osborn(e) Sr. or William Ross) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
