Commentary

Richard Osborn-2360(marr. Sarah Piersol) is not the son of Nicholas Osborn-1410 and Margaret Conrad/Cunard as many genealogies show. Rather, Richard Osborn-2360(marr. Sarah Piersol) is the son of Jonathan and Elizabeth Osborn of Fayette Co., PA. Jonathan Osborn is the son of Nicholas Osborn-1410. So Richard Osborn-2360 is in fact the grandson The above is shown by two pieces of evidence working together. First is a deed recorded in Fayette Co., PA deed book K, page 366 and second is the biography of William Osborn, son of Richard Osborn-2360, published in History of Trumbull and Mahoning Counties, Ohio, published by H.Z. Williams & Bro. in 1882.

Fayette Co., PA deed book K, page 366 is the start of a deed dated in 1815 from "Richard Osburn of Stark Co., Ohio" and his wife Sarah to Nicholas Osburn of Fayette Co., PA. (Note: this is not the same Nicholas Osburn that was married to Margaret Conrad!) In this deed, Richard Osburn is selling his interest in a tract of land "being the same of which Jonathan Osburn, father of Richard Osburn" died owning. So Richard Osburn of Stark Co., OH is the son of Jonathan Osburn of Fayette Co., PA.

The biography of William Osborn states "William Osborn was born in Fayette county, Pennsylvania, November 1, 1804. He is the oldest son of Richard and Sarah Osborn. With his parents he removed to Stark county in 1808, and to Trumbull county in 1815, settling in Lordstown township." This is in fact a reference to Richard Osborn-2360 and his wife Sarah Piersol. So Richard Osborn-2360 (marr. Sarah Piersol) was from Fayette Co., PA and the Richard son of Jonathan Osborn who had moved to Stark Co., OH.
