  Father	Orsborn (Osborn), Isaac Jr.,   b. 16 Sep 1792, Winslow, Lincoln, Maine d. 11 Jan 1874, Grass Lake, Jackson, Michigan (Age 81 years)
  Mother	Morse, Mille (Millie),   b. 22 Aug 1793, Kent, Connecticut, USA d. 20 Jun 1872, Grass Lake, Jackson, Michigan (Age 78 years)
  Marriage	23 Nov 1815	Halfmoon, Saratoga, New York, USA   [1]
  	Marriage place is inferred; Mille's father was living in Halfmoon at the time of her marriage. The Morse Genealogy says "they settled in Gloucesterville, N. Y.". Glousterville is doubtless a mis-transcription of Gloversville, the largest town near Mayfield where they lived. [1]
  Notes	The following is in the brief Osborn genealogy in the History of St. Albans, Maine: "Isaac Jr., born Sept 15, 1792; m. Millie Saliner (last name indistinct in records)." I have found no other record of this marriage, and this record probably refers to Mille Morse. [2]
