Re: Osment...any connection to my Harriett Osment. An ancestor of mine, Harriett Osment, married into our Swain family. Harriett Osment married Thomas J Swain on 24 Jul 1837 in Davidson Co., TN.

I've found the name spelled "AUSMENT" "Osmet" "Osment", and a whole variarity that I can no longer recall. In looking up old marriage records, one list member has been trying to find her "Ellen OZMENT" who married William W.Carpenter on 19th April 1847 in Wilson Co.,TN. Also from that same family, William Carpenters sister, MARTHA CARPENTER was recorded as marrying RADFORD B. OZMENT on April 15, 1846. I believe these siblings of Carpenters married siblings, Ellen & Radford. Thru the years we hear from these Carpenter descendants, looking for information on their "Ozment" ancestors, which to date I've never been able to connect to even after 20 years of Ozment research. Today, I think I found out why. William W. Carpenter, though not of my Ozment family, might well have been a very distant relation in that his mother was Nancy Stone daughter of Elijah Stone of Virginia. The Stones married into the Farris family of Pittsylvania and Halifax Co... just a side note for my relatives back in Wilson Co (smile!) William W. Carpenter who was the son of Samuel Carpenter & first wife Jean Hundley of Amelia Co Va married 1st to Rebecca Bland & they in turn moved to Wilson Co.,Tn sometime after 1820... she died after 1840 and he married 2nd to the very young ELLEN who is recorded as an Ozment but I believe was not, and then he moved her into Jefferson County, Illinois where he divorced her in August of 1850. His sister and her husband, who was recorded as RADFORD B. OZMENT also moved into Illinois.... and it has many times been written on the internet that Radford B. Ozment "fell off the earth" since he was never heard from again or found in census, but he was listed in the Civil War Records of Illinois in Regiment A 110 Illinois Infantry at Hunt County on Roll 99 in Soundex 0216 as PVT RADFORD B. OSBURN. Next I find that like my Ozment family.... the OSBURN family got a lot of spellings thru their track from Virginia to TN to Parker Co Tx and yes, into Illinois...OZBUN; OZBAN; OZBURN; OSBAN: OSBORNE; OSBORN: even, OZMEN when they came into the company of Ozments. I found a lot of this info at www.osborngenealogy.com <http://www.osborngenealogy.com/> http://www.osborngenealogy.com/ Hope it helps clear some things up Nadine ------------------------------ To contact the TNWILSON list administrator, send an email to TNWILSON-admin@rootsweb.com.
