Orsborn (Osborn), Isaac Jr.

1792 - 1874  (81 years)

• Name	Orsborn (Osborn), Isaac
  	The family name has been spelled Orsborn, Osborn, Osborne, and Osburn, but Orsborn is what Isaac used in letters to his parents and brother William and on deeds. Orsborn also is the name on the family gravestones in the Oakwood Cemetery in Grass Lake, Michigan, and on the gravestones of Isaac's and Millie's first and second sons Peter, and Isaac 3rd. Orsborn was used on Enos' Michigan death certificate. However, Isaac's brother William used Osborn in a letter to Isaac. [see documents].
  Suffix	Jr.
  Born	16 Sep 1792	Winslow, Lincoln, Maine
  	Birth date calculated from information on gravestone. The date was given as 15 Sep 1792 in the "History of St. Albans Maine". Birthplace is from his son Enos' death certificate (Informant was Enos' daughter Emma). [1]

  Family	Morse, Mille (Millie),   b. 22 Aug 1793, Kent, Connecticut, USA ,   d. 20 Jun 1872, Grass Lake, Jackson, Michigan  (Age 78 years)
  Married	23 Nov 1815	Halfmoon, Saratoga, New York, USA   [6]
  	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. [6]
  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. [1]
