Son of Ephraim Osborne and maybe Elizabeth Howard
Born ca 1750
Killed in the late 1700s by Indians raiding a hunting party in Watauga.
According to the various legends, the other two members (his brothers) of the hunting party fled and one came back and buried him, or the two came back at a later time to bury him, or came back later to retrieve the body but were unable to locate the site of the incident in the wilderness or brought the body home to his wife.
No one knows now where he's buried. . . and maybe only that he was killed by Indians and presumably covered over to prevent predation.
He was married and did have children or had one child only.
Wife: Nancy Davidson. After she was widowed she married Jonathan Wood (1744 - 1804)
Child
James D Osborn Birth 4 January 1765
