The many documents concerning the husband of Mary Chew spell his given name and his surname in several different ways. His tombstone spells his name as Balaam Osbourn but I am unsure if that is correct. His tombstone states that he was born on 02 May 1792 and died on 23 Aug 1864. In this bio I will use the name found on that particular document. Thus, Mary Chew married Balam Osborn on 27 Oct 1815 at Loudoun Co., VA.
