Additional Comments:
I descend from Permelia Deuel, who married Richard Russell; they moved to a
part of Delaware County, Ohio, which later became Morrow County.  Many Osborns
seemed to follow the same route.  Apparently Ebenezer Deuel's family traces
back to the Mayflower.

I added some punctuation to Ebenezer's will but otherwise left I as I found
it.
