Frank's father was Jesse Osborne and his mother was Sara Norris. Jesse was born in Jan. 10,1868 in North Carolina and died on March 19, 1947.I am not sure of the real date of birth Sara Norris.She said she didn't know.My grandfather Frank was born May 14,1893 and died November 13,1929. He was married to Bertha Burris. Bertha's father was Emory Burris and her mother was Sara Poole. Emory was born in 1868 anddied in 1960. Sara was born in 1872and died in 1950. Emory's father was Samuel Burris. Emory and Sara Burris had 15 children. Jesse and Sara Osborne had 9 children. She died in 1923 and Jesse remarried I think Nancie Walker.
