Comments

• Philip
  Philip lived in the vicinity of Joseph Osborn-14201's other children and Philip's son Howard was a witness to the will of Joseph Osborn-14201's proven son Archibald. Census records indicate that Philip was possibly born before Joseph Osborn-14201's marriage to Rhoda Romine, so it is uncertain who Philip's mother is.
  
  
• Archibald
  Archibald's death entry in the Lewis Co., (W)VA death register (as given in Lewis County, W. Va., Death Records, Vol. I by Hartzel G. Strader and Alan L. Strader) gives his parents explicitly as Joseph and Rhoda Osburn.
  
  
• Nancy
  Nancy was married to John Ward. The Lewis Co., (W)VA death register entry for Nancy Ward gives her parents' names as "Jos.&R. Osbern". The published version of the death records by Strader and Strader mentioned above gives "Jno.&R. Osbern" as the parents, but examination of the register itself shows the names as "Jos.&R. Osbern".
  
  
• Joseph (Jr.)
  Joseph (Jr.) lived in the vicinity of Joseph Osborn-14201's other children in Lewis Co. (W)VA. Cemeteries of Lewis County, W.Va. and Adjacent Counties, Vol. I shows "(s/o Joseph & Rhoda (Romine) Osburn)" with Joseph (Jr.)'s gravestone information. This comment would not appear to be information from the gravestone itself and so is an undocumented secondary record.
  
  
• Aquilla
  Aquilla Osborn is listed in the 1840 Lewis Co., VA census living near Archibald Osborn.
  
  
• Wilson
  Wilson Osborn is listed in the 1850 Randolph Co., VA census living near Aquilla Osborn.
  
  
• Jacob
  Jacob Osborn is listed in the 1840 Harrison Co., VA census near Joseph Osborn-14201 and Joseph Jr. The cemetery book mentioned above provides an undocumented comment that Jacob is "s/o Joseph and Rhoda (Romine) Osburn.
  
  
• William
  I have not listed William above as a child of Joseph Osborn-14201, but there is a William Osborn listed in the 1840 Lewis Co., VA census living near Aquilla. Perhaps the Martha and Catharine Osborn listed in the 1850 Gilmer Co., VA census living near Jacob (as "J." is the census) are William's daughters. This needs to be checked out.
