THE OSBORNE FAMILY
   Esquire Enoch Osborne settled on New River, near Bridle Creek; this for
many years was known as the Osborne settlement.  Enoch Osborne had three
brothers, Solomon, Ephriam, and Johnathan, who came to this country with
their families about the same time, and settled on New River, near together.
   A fort was built on the farm now occupied by Joshua Osborne and son,
John, at Ancella Post Office.  Indian depredations were common on the border
settlements, and preparations for protection and defence were necessary.
   It was fortunate for society that the first settlers were people of moral
worth and piety.
   Enoch Osborne’s wife was a Miss Hash.  He and his wife were Christians,
and aided very much in planting the standard of Christian civilization over
the land that was so recently inhabited by savages.
   Their home was a resting place for the wayworn traveling preachers.  The
venerable Bishop Asbury called with them, rested, and took refreshments, as
he was making his ministerial tours through this newly settled country,
preaching the gospel.
   It was at the old Fort where Esquire Enoch Osborne, Sr., first located a
home.
   An incident occurred with the Osborne brothers, in their newly occupied
territory, that tells of the dangers and exposures to which pioneer settlers
were subjected.
   Enoch Osborne and brothers, Solomon and Ephriam, went into what is now
Watauga, N. C., on a hunting trip, deer being plentiful in that section.
Getting wet by a shower of rain, and wet bushes, they struck up camp in the
evening, and lay down to sleep and rest, hanging up their clothes by the
camp fire to dry.  The Indians surprised them by shooting into the camp and
killing Solomon Osborne; an Indian chased Enoch some distance, and lost him
in the dark.  Ephriam, alter fleeing from camp carefully crept back in the
dark to his horse that was fastened with a hickory bark halter to a tree,
loosed him and rode home.  Enoch returned home without shoes, and in his
night clothing.  These facts are gathered from Mrs. Mary McMullen, wife of
Hon. Lafayette McMullen, member of Congress, from Scott county, Va., for
several sessions.  Mrs. McMullen, hefore her marriage, was Miss Mary Woods,
granddaughter of Solomon Osborne, who was murdered in the camp by the
Indians.
   Up to the present day, the Osborne family have lived in Grayson county;
some have moved to the West, while quite a number have remained as worthy,
industrious citizens of their native county.  Solomon Osborne, Jr., married
Hannah Cox, lived at the old fort on New River, and on the same farm his son
Joshua now lives; others of this family live in the same community.
   Zachariah Osborne married Miss Jincey Burton, a lady of deep piety, a
faithful wife and affectionate mother.  Zachariah Osborne and wife brought
up a large family on the river near the fort; three daughters, Mary, Nancy,
and Phoebe, married three brothers, Alexander, Galloway, and Samuel Cox, Jr.
Mahala married Joshua Cox; Biddie married David Cox; one married Daniel
Boyer; Caroline married Johnston Hale.  Margaret married John Phipps, of
Saddle Creek.
   Their son, Enoch Osborne, married Miss Cox; Allen married; Floyd married
Miss Rosa Hale, daughter of Warner Hale and wife, Miss Mary Cox; Preston
married Miss Isabelle Cox; Zachariah, Jr., married Miss Mollie Cox; both the
above Isabelle and Mollie were daughters of Enoch Cox and wife, Miss Susan
Thomas.
   Floyd Osborne and Preston Osborne both settled on Meadow Creek, near Old
Town, and have brought up their families there.  Emmett P. Osborne, son of
Floyd Osborne, married Miss Mary Williams, daughter of Hyram Williams and
Miss Jane Brown.  He lived on the old Brown farm on Meadow Creek; died at
the Jefferson Hospital, Roanoke, Va., from an operation for appendicitis; he
leaves a wife and six children.
   Thomas H. Osborne, youngest son of Floyd Osborne, lives at the old
homestead on Meadow Creek.
   John H., another son, lives on Rock Creek, Va.

   Rev. Daniel Blevens, Primitive Baptist minister, and justice of the peace
of Valley Township, was born in Lawrence County, Ky., September 22, 1831,
his parents being William and Ava (Collins) Blevens, natives of Tennessee
and Virginia, respectively.  They were married in Lee County, Va., and
immigrated to Lawrence County, Ky., at the early settling of that State, or
in about 1822.  They resided in this State until about 1866, when they moved
to Arkansas, locating in Madison County, and here the father died in 1872 at
the age of ninety-four years.  The mother died in Missouri in 1875, at the
age of eighty-four, and while on a visit to her son in that State.  She was
a member of the Primitive Baptist Church for many years, and he was a member
of the Christian Church for a long time.  He was a farmer by occupation, and
a life-long Democrat.  They were the parents of nine children, six now
living: Rev. Daniel Blevens is the only child of this family living in
Madison County, Ark.; Malinda is the widow of David Pennington, and is now

has since continued this occupation.  He left Kentucky in 1866 and moved to
Madison County, Ark., where he has resided ever since.  In 1862 he enlisted
in Company A, Fifth Kentucky Infantry, Confederate Army, and served fourteen
months.  He was then elected orderly-sergeant, and after serving a short
time was promoted to the rank of captain of Company K, and remained with
that company until the regiment was disbanded.  He was made a prisoner, and
retained as such for six days, when he was retaken.  He was in a number of
battles, and was a brave and gallant officer.  February 12, 1869, he married
Miss Nancy Osborn, a daughter of Edmond Osborn, and a native of Johnson
County, Ky., born September 23, 1832.  The fruits of this union are thirteen
children, viz.: Malinda, wife of W.L. Evans, a farmer of Crawford County,
Ark.; Angeline, wife of Henry LaMasters, a farmer of Washington County,
Ark.; Ellen, wife of James Hight, a farmer of Madison County, Ark.;

Bio. of Zachariah P. Glass


Portrait and Bio. Record of Marion, Ralls and Pike Cos., MO, New London,
        MO, Ralls Co. Book Co., 1982, orig. pub. Chicago, C.O. Owen & Co.,
        1895.  (transcript)

ZACHARIAH P. GLASS, M.D., is proprietor of the Elmwood Park Sanitarium,
Hannibal, Mo.  This beautiful building stands in the midst of twenty-one
acres of ground, in the northwestern part of the city, near the junction
of St. Mary's Avenue and Paris Gravel Road -- about two miles from the Union
Depot, and opposite Indian Mound Park, the terminus of the street railroad.
   The doctor's grandfather, a native of Virginia, was a farmer by occupation
and became an early settler of Scott County, Ky., where he passed the
remainder of his life.  Our subject's father, Fleming Glass, was born in
Culpeper, Va., and died in 1832, aged fifty-two years.  He was in the War
of 1812 and took part in the engagements of Tippecanoe and Thames.  His wife
was born in December, 1792, and died January 19, 1856; she likewise was a
native of Virginia.
   Dr. Z.P. Glass was born near Georgetown, Scott County, Ky., November 1,
1820, and was twelve years old when his father died.  Later the mother moved
with her family to Versailles, Ky., where the children obtained a fair
education.  Our subject was apprenticed to learn the tailor's trade and was
master of the business in less than one and a half years.  On account of ill
treatment he ran away from his master and worked as a journeyman, but at the
end of six months returned and was given good wages by his former employer.
From 1832 to 1848 he continued in this occupation, employing his spare hours
in the study of medicine.  He then gave up his tailoring business and began
his practice.  His ability soon became known and in a short time he had a
fair clientele.  In 1848 the cholera scourge reached Port Royal, where he was
living, and claimed numerous victims; many of the other physicians fled and
the young doctor was left almost alone to combat the disease.  Of the
sixty-five cases which he treated all but three recovered.  During this trying
period he met, in consultation, Dr. Norvin Green who afterward was known the
world over as president of the Westem Union Telegraph Company, and this noted
man's friendship he enjoyed for years.  Among the other celebrated people whom
he has known and who have been among his best friends were Richard M. Johnson,
once Vice-President of the United States, and the great statesman, Henry Clay.
   In the fall of 1848 Dr. Glass entered the Physiopathic Medical College at
Cincinnati, Ohio, and was graduated in the class of 1850.  Until 1853 he
conducted an office in that city and then moved to Florence, nine miles
distant.  He left Florence in 1861 and went to Covington, where he remained
about eight months, and then went to Greenfield, Ind.; then to Indianapolis
and Cambridge, Ind.  In 1862 he took charge of Dr. Trall's Sanitarium,
Wernersville, Pa., and in 1863 went to Minneapolis.  In 1864 and 1865 he was
connected with the sanitarium owned there by Dr. Trall, but as soon as
possible he erected and carried on a similar institution for himself in the
same city.  From 1865 to 1868 he was located in Quincy, Ill.  He then removed
to Hannibal, where he erected his sanitarium, and has since met with gratifying
success.
   April 3, 1838, Dr. Glass married Eliza A. Branham of Scott County, Ky.
Her parents were T. Abner and Fannie (Osborn) Branham, the latter a sister
of Ben Osborn, the wealthiest resident of Scott County. Four of the doctor's
children lived to grow up, namely: Annie, wife of William C. Lindsay of
Greenfield, Ind.; George N., of Sheridan, Ind.; Fleming, now of Bird's
Station, Lawrence County, Ill.; Thomas L., a resident of Hannibal. All of
the sons were in the Union Army; the younger ones were members of Company G,
Seventy-ninth Indiana Infantry, and served from 1862 until the close of the
war, taking part in many great battles, among which were those of the Atlanta
and Nashville campaigns.  George was engaged in the pursuit of Morgan through
Ohio.  Thomas was only fourteen years of age and Fleming not yet sixteen when
they entered the ranks.  The mother died April 30, 1887, leaving many friends.
The present wife of the doctor was Miss Viola, daughter of L. K. and Irene
(Leland) Hewett, natives of Orleans County, N.Y. Mrs. Glass was born in
Michigan and was married November 2, 1887.
   In many respects the doctor is a very remarkable man, and though he is
now seventy-five years of age, he enjoys good health, and his thick dark hair,
undimmed eye and activity are such as would befit a man perhaps thirty years
his junior.  He attributes his immunity from illness to a strict vegetarian
diet, to abstinence from the use of tobacco and liquors and to the fact that
he is accustomed to take a bath in warm water in the open air every day during
the entire year.  He was a Republican when the party was organized and during
the war was a stanch friend to the Union; now he is a believer in free trade
and the single-tax idea.  Religiously he is a Swedenborgian.  In medicine
the doctor opposes the idea of poisoning people because they happen to be
sick; he claims that all the healing power resides in living organisms.  To
cure disease remove the cause and supply to the living, healing power within
the body the conditions of health.  Drug poisons cannot supply a condition
of health.  These principles govern the doctor's practice and his success
is remarkable.

   James Y. Kelly lived from 1835 to 1841 on the farm now owned by Mr.

   WILLIAM O. PINKSTON came from Kentucky to Indiana, then two years old,
with his parents, John and Elizabeth Pinkston, the family coming on pack
horses through the woods.  John Pinkston was a minister of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, an able, pious and God fearing man, who, it is said,
organized the first society, now the Providence Church, the first membership
being himself and wife and William Burnett and wife.  At the time of his
settlement here, Rev. Mr. Pinkston had a family of four children, our
subject, born in Garrett County, Ky., April 10, 1827, being one.  William O.
received but little education at the rude subscription schools, and upon
reaching manhood selected farming as his occupation through life.  November
17, 1847, he married Miss Irene, daughter of Silas and Lucinda (Gunn)
Osborn, and to this union nine children were born, as follows: Ellen S.,
born September 22, 1848; William C., January 7, 1850; Mary J., December 3,
1852; Elizabeth A., November 24, 1854; Lucinda, November 20, 1856; Martha,

and economy, now has an excellent farm of 112 acres, which he has obtained
wholly since his marriage.  Early in 1865, he enlisted in Company D, One
Hundred and Forty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and served until the
expiration of the war.  He is one of the leading Republicans of the
township, is a man of high honor, and he and wife are members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.  Silas Osborn moved from Kentucky to Washington
County, Ind., in 1817, and to Sullivan County in 1819.  He was Justice of
the Peace, Probate Judge, and represented the county two terms in the
Legislature.  He was a minister, and it is said preached the first sermon in
the county seat -- Sullivan.  He moved to Iowa in 1849.

settled nears Groomsville.  His wife was Mary, daughter of Harvey and Celia
(Chapman) Smith and thirteen children were born to them, ten of them living,
the wife dying eight years ago.  Since that time Mr. Scott had been living
with his children.  The children surviving are H.P. Scott, of Rigdon, Grant
county, Wesley, Medaryville, Charles Scott, Lee, Ind., Ira Scott, Monon,
Mrs. Clarence Farr, of Boswell, Mrs. Lewis Coy, of Boswell, Mrs. Halen
Sharp, of Rainsville, Ind., Mrs. Ralph Fletcher, of Veedersburg, Mrs. James
Camm, of Marion, Ohio, and Mrs. Vincent VanBriggle, of near Atlanta, at
whose home the father died.  The deceased children are John Scott, who died
two years ago, meeting a tragic death in the Wabash river, near Rockville,
Mrs. Henry Goodwin, and William.  All of the thirteen children lived to
mature age.
   Mr. Scott was born and reared in that section of Kentucky which was badly
divided during the war, there being members of many families that sent sons
into the armies of both north and south.  Mr. Scott cast his lot with the
armies of Lee and fought under the banner of General John Morgan.  It being
a notable fact that a goodly portion of the men who followed that dashing
commander came from Owen and adjoining counties in Kentucky.
   The funeral arrangements had not been completed this aftenoon<sic> when
