   DAVID L. OSBORN, a native of the township and county where he yet resides,
was born in the year 1830, and is one in the following family born to William H.
and Rhoda Osborn, who were among the earliest of Greene County's pioneers:
Amanda J., Elizabeth. David L., Ira M., Mary R., Wines W., Typhenia, John M. and
two that died in infancy. William H. Osborn was born in Greenbrier County, Va.,
where he was left fatherless when a small boy. About the year 1812, he
accompained his mother to Kentucky, traveling the entire distance on horseback.
In 1819, the family removed to Monroe County, Ind., and afterward to Owen
County. A few years later, the family settled on "Nine Mile Prairie," in Greene
County, which at that time was a very early period in the history of that
locality. He became quite widely known as one of the early farmers and merchants
of Stockton Township, and was honored and esteemed for the honorable and upright
life he lived. David L. Osborn, subject of this memoir, was the first Township
Trustee under the present system of management, and is the present incumbent of
that office in Stockton Township. In October, 1851, he was united in marriage
with Miss Esther Ann, daughter of William Buck, who was a native of England.
Mrs. Osborn was born near Amboy, N. Y., in 1832, and by Mr. Osborn is the mother
of this family: Alice D. (now Mrs. W. F. Cornelius), Ira M., Mary P. (now Mrs.
D. E. Humphrey), Hannah E. and William S.
