      Comments
      John Osburn-1631 signed consent notes for his children Nicholas, Samuel, and Abner to be married, identifying them as his children. The biography of Mrs. Eury Hedges identifies her mother Margaret as a child of John Osburn-1631. Sarah Osburn married in 1783 to Benjamin Wilks in Bedford Co., VA, when the family of John Osburn-1631 was the only Osburn family living in Bedford Co., VA. Franklin Co., VA land records show that John Osburn-1631's family was associated with the Wilks. Rachel Osburn was married in Franklin Co., VA to William Burdett with Benjamin Osburn as security on the marriage bond. Benjamin Osburn was closely associated with John Osburn-1631, also making the move from Franklin Co., VA to Bullitt Co., KY. A deed recorded in Franklin Co., VA Deed Book 4, page 223 is from John Osburn, Sr. to John Osburn, Jr., showing that John Osburn-1631 had a son John. Information on the Mead and Thurman families, including information on the marriage of John Osburn and Rachel Mead, can be found on the Web Site of Robert Hedges VIII at The Hedges of Stafford/Prince William Counties Virginia 1660-1980, Chapter 10
      Samuel Osborn-7621, son of John Osborn-1361 and Rachel Mead, is frequently confused with Samuel Osborn[#894] who was son of John Osborn-891 and Sarah Morris. When Samuel Osborn-7621 was married to Mary McGlothlen in Dec 1788, his father John provided a consent note for Samuel to marry Mary McGlothlen. This has two major implications:

      1) As John Osborn-891(marr. Sarah Morris) had died in 1787, Samuel
      Osborn-7621 couldn't very well be son of John Osborn-891 and Sarah
      Morris.
      2) Samuel Osborn-7621 was born in 1767 or later as he was underage at the
      time of his marriage and needed a consent note, meaning that he couldn't
      be the same person as Samuel Osborn-894(married to Nancy and then
      Frances Stringer) because Samuel Osborn-894 was much older.

      All of the children that some people show as children of Samuel Osborn-7621 and Mary McGlothlen are actually the children of Samuel Osborn-894. They are known to be children of Samuel Osborn-894 as Nelson Co., KY land records show they are his.
