Notes
a. Note:   ALIST Oct 9, 1815
  There is a Jeremiah Osborn in Erie, carpenter
  Sarah Denham, William Osborn, Martha Osborn, and Jeremiah Osborn are known to be children of Millisent (Garnsey) Osborn from the estate papers of her father Jonathan Garnsey-14933 as they petitioned the court in 1805 after the death of Jonathan Garnsey-14933 for the distribution of his estate. The distribution refers to Millisent Osborn as "late of New York, deceased." In 1811 Sarah Denham and her husband James Denham and William Osborn and Martha Osborn all of New York City and Jeremiah Osborn of Harbor Creek, Erie Co., PA sold the land that was distributed to them (Watertown, CT Deed Book 10/268).
 Having moved to Nova Scotia after the Revolution, Thomas Osborn was evidently a Loyalist. A Geography and History of the County of Digby, Nova Scotia by Isaiah W. Wilson(1900) provides information on the Loyalists of Digby. Listed in a muster list (probably taken in 1784) on page 71 is "Thomas Osbourn, 8; Jabez Osbourne, 1;". This indicates that there are eight members in Thomas Osbourn's family and that Jabez Osbourne is a single person. As the muster list is not alphabetized, Jabez Osbourne either lives next door to Thomas Osbourn or possibly even lives with Thomas Osbourn. It seems likely that in 1784 Thomas and Millisent Osborn had six children. Their son Jeremiah was not born until 1787 (according to the 1850 census of Jeremiah), so there are at least three children who must have died prior to 1805 (the year of Jonathan Garney's estate distribution) without living issue.
