Bio

Source for the following informaton: My late cousin Bobbie Brewer Wilson, daughter of Albert O Brewer & wife Cora Bea Osborn. Bobbie died 2010 after sharing most of her research with me in the mid 1990s. See her Find A Grave Memorial 49846721, Antioch Cemetery, Burnsville, Tishomingo Co, Mississippi. _________ On October 29, 1892 William Riley Osborn, father of Susan Osborn born abt 1860, filed a Declaration for Indian War Survivor's Pension. He states that he had received two land warrants he thought it was in 1852 & 1853 and the Probate Judge Jack Terril ? of Marion County, Alabama had attended to getting the warrants for him, one for forty acres and another for eighty acres, his total being one hundred and twenty acres. He also states that he is now eighty-one years old and was unable to earn support by manual labor, by reason of a spinal affection and infirmities of age. It goes on to say that he lived in Georgia (Fayette Co & Carroll Co) til 1850 then in Alabama (Marion Co) to 1872 when he moved to Short, Tishomingo Co. Mississippi where he was now living. He listed his occupation prior to his entry into the service as being that of a farmer. In the 1850 Carroll County [Georgia] census he was listed as single and his occupation was a wagoneer. But all other census information listed him as a farmer. (The signature under William's picture is that of his own hand and I found his writing and spelling skills to be very good.) *****On February 14, 1893 William was again asked to fill out another form for the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions. This form I would like to share in its entirety with you. Sir: This Bureau will esteem it a favor if you will, at your earliest convenience, answer the questions enumerated below. This information is desired for statistical purposes and it may be of great value to your family in the future. Very respectfully, Andrew Davidson, acting commission. 1. Are you a married man, and if so, what is your wife's full name and what was her maiden name? Ans. I am a married man. Susan M. (Magby) Osborn is my wife & maiden name Holcomb. 2. When and where were you married? Ans. I was married in November 1851 in the State of Ala. Marion County. 3. What record of marriage exists? Ans. Was recorded at Pikeville Ala. the county site at that time. 4. If you had been previously married state the name of your former wife and the date of her death or divorce. Ans. I have never been married but the one time. 5. If you have any children living state their names and dates of birth. Ans. Mary E. Osborn b. Oct 25, 1852. Elizabeth R. b. May 28, 1854. Syrena O. b. March 8, 1856. W.L. b. Nov 23, 1858. Roda J. b. April 1, 1862. J.D. b. July 19, 1864. S.T. b. Jan 19, 1867. He wrote on the back side of the paper: "for want of space at the proper place we place some names and births on this side." John H. Osborn b. March 18, 1869. Martha A. Osborn b. March 9, 1871. Nancy L. Osborn b. January 25, 1875. signed Wm. R. Osborn. **********NOTE: One other child wasn't included. Susan Osborn b. July 1860 but had died some time after the 1880 Tishomingo Co [Miss] census and before 1892.******** In addition to William R Osborn not including daughter Susan in his list of children, William R Osborn's widow Susan M Osborn, age 66, was enumerated 27 June 1900 census Beat 1 Tishomingo County as having 11 CHILDREN, 10 LIVING. My conclusion is that daughter Susan Osborn died after 1880 census and before 1892, the date of her father's pension application.
