[ Mary Downey is a H5 mtDNA type] Samuel Mead was a Quaker, as were his close kin, William and John Mead, and the Quaker records is the source of this family history. The marriage listed below seems to be a "kissin cousins" wedding.

JOHN OSBORNE
The Osborne family had been located in Stafford for some years. A Richard Osborne had been appointed as County Commissioner to the new Prince William County in November 1731 by Governor Gooch. A Thomes Osborne represented Prince William in the House of Burgesses in ______. We have evidence leading to John.
John Osborn (Osborne, Osbourne, Osburn) has been traced to the will of John Osborn senr, which was probated in Loudoun Co, Va, on 8 January 1787. John Osborn senr is believed to be the son of Richard Osborn. Sarah Morris, consort of John senr, is believed to be the daughter of Thomas Morris and his wife, Ann Howard. John Osborn senr was born cir 1712, and died in December 1786. Sarah Morris was born cir 1719 and died in March 1804, and both are buried in the Ketoctin Baptist Cemetery in Loudoun Co, Va. John Osborn junr was born cir 1741, and was believed to have eventually moved to Kentucky, although I would have doubted his leaving Bedford Co, Va. Eury Thurman Hedges, identified her grandparents as John Osborn and Rachel Mead, in the 1880s, with no additional data. I surmise that Rachel Mead was born cir 1740-1750, and died in Bedford Co, Va.
