(11) WILLIAM OSBORNE (William) was of age in 8 November 1688 when he appointed James Phillips, innholder, his attorney to act in all things concerning him. By June of 1688 he was married to Margaret ________, who joined him in selling certain lands on the river adjacent the court house to James Phillips. According to Walter Preston's History of Harford Co. Maryland (1901), he and Margaret turned land over to Baltimore Co. commissioners upon which they built the courthouse; he kept a ferry and built the first house in Baltimore, and his oldest son was stolen by Susquehannock Indians. Though they were pursued across the bay, they escaped, but an old Indian later assured William his son was made a chief, who allegedly signed the treaty between Penn and the Indians in 1682. William may have married as his second wife Rebecca Hill, daughter of John, whose will dated 17 March 1691 named a daughter Rebecca Osborne and has as a test. William Osborne. As his third wife, some time in 1693, William married Margaret, executrix of John Wallston. William died leaving a will, 1 January 1704-7 March 1704/5, naming children James, William, Benjamin, Thomas, and Rebecca, with Margaret as executrix. The estate was inv. 7 May 1705 and valued at 30 pounds 19 shilling ten pence. The estate was administered on 8 March 1705/6 by Margaret, now wife of William Wise. Raymond Clark's Index to Baltimore Co. MY Wills 1660-1770 has Wm. Osborn, Bush River, l. 3, f. 433, 1704/5.

On 5 November 1724 William Hollis, brother of Avarilla, conv. 150 acres Hollis' Desire to William's son William. In deposition in 1728/9 a William Ozburn mentions he was fishing on Bush River about 28 years ago (Henry C. Peden Jr., More Maryland Deponents 1716-1799). On 7 November 1734 Henry Rhodes, son and heir of the late Henry Rhodes, conv. 200 acres Birr to his sister Catherine, now wife of William. In 1750 he owned 50 acres Covent Garden, 71 acres Birr, 97 acres Osborne's Addition, 50 acres part of St. Martin's Ludgate, 50 acres Scotchman's Generosity, and other lands. He died before 1770, since the bond was posted 14 April 1750 by Catherine and estate was administered 15 July 1750. Children by Wm. and Avarilla: James, Mary, Mary, William

(1135) William Osborn (Wm, Wm, Wm) was born 26 March 1724 Baltimore Co. MD. Is he the William who married Margaret Lyall 18 June 1745 Harford Co. MD? Or is he the Wm. Sr., age 53, living with five blacks in the 1776 Harford Lower Hundred, Harford Co. MD?
(1136) Benjamin Osborn (Wm, Wm, Wm) was born 13 June 1729 Baltimore Co. MD. Maryland Calendar of Wills, vol. vii, p. 64, has a Joseph Pritchard, 25 January 1733, leaving 60 acres lying on Bush River to godson Benjamin (a minor) and heirs, son of William Osburn and Catherine his wife.

(1147) James Osborne (Wm., Wm., Benjamin) was born 25 March 1730 Baltimore Co. MD. A James Osborn died before 26 Nov. 1804 in Scott Co. KY; was this him?
(1148) Thomas Osborn (Wm, Wm, Benj) was born 10 April 1732 Baltimore Co. MD. He married Elizabeth Simpson on 3 August 1751 there. Barnes' Baltimore Families lists children as: William, Sarah, Mary, Benjamin, Francis, Bennett. We believe the family further included Thomas, Riller, and Betsy. Perhaps the latter three were not born in Baltimore Co. MD? Our Thomas left MD for North Carolina before the oldest daughter was married in September of 1773; in 1784 they moved to Abbeville District of SC, where in 1802 Thomas is listed as a member of the Hogskin (later Little River) Meeting House. In the Lincoln Co. NC Deed Book 3, p. 160, 10-9-1786, Thomas Osborn of Abbeville Co. to Mary Hill, Lincoln Co. NC; 10 pounds for 25 acres where said Mary Hill now liveth, part of a tract granted to Thomas Osborn for 100 acres according to the dimensions of a pattern granted to Thomas Osborn in our said office, signed Thomas (T) Osborn. In the Lincoln Co. NC Deed Book 17, p. 17, 9-17-1793, Thomas Osborn, Pendleton Co. SC to John Bullinger, Lincoln Co. NC; 50 pounds for 75 acres being the larger part of a tract of 100 acres, 25 acres upon the south east end is excepted which he the said Thomas Osborn sold to Mary Hill lying and being in Lincoln Co. on the North fork of Mountain Creek; Signed Thomas (T) Osborn. Pendleton District SC, p. 281/2, dated 8 September 1795 has Thomas Osbern Sr. to Daniel Putnam for 10 shillings stg. for 505 acres on Big Gnerostee, granted to Osbern by Thomas Pinckney, 1788, except 150 acres now laid out for Robert Skelton, on fork of Big Branch, bd. on E. by William Lesley, on W. by John Green, on S. by Skelton. Sighed: Thos. (T) Orsbern, Sr. Recorded 22 September 1796. They left South Carolina ca. 1804 for Scott Co. KY, where he died near Georgetown. Could this be the Thomas Osburn Sr. who died 1803 Scott Co. KY? His brother James administered the estate, and this Tom does have a brother James. A John Osburn and Bennet Osburn receive payment from what seems to be James Osburn's estate, and the John could be Tom's and James' brother, below. Richard Tiner is also mentioned, and Thomas's daughter Betsy married Richard Tiner/Tyner. Many family trees list Elizabeth Simpson as marrying Jesse Davis Oldham in Kentucky on Oct 21, 1757 in Kentucky and having 11 children, but is this a different Elizabeth Simpson? She would have to have divorced Thomas Osborn and reverted to her maiden name, and the last 7 Osborn children wouldn't have been hers, but we have no record of a divorce or second marriage for him. It's tempting to keep the Oldham woman because she has a lengthy ancestral history; if she's not this man's wife, we have no parents for her.
