  • Notes 
    • Little is known about Ann Eliza Osborne. We have identified her on three census records 1865, 1870, 1875 and one newspaper obituary for her daughter. As she is 25 years younger than her husband, we are suspicious that there may have been an earlier first husband. Which then throws the parentage of the children into question.

      Her name appears as Anna, Ann E or Ann Eliza in the different records which we do have.

      We have found one document referring to her daughter Lida Osborne as Eliza McPherson. Which raises the possibility that Lida's name earlier in life was McPherson. Perhaps Lida was married earlier or had a different father than William E. We have been unable to identify any census entries under that name. We have also found an 1865 census entry listing a sister (William's or Ann's?) as Emeline McFeeson, lending credence to the possibility Ann's maiden name is McPherson. The 1865 census lists she had 4 children and that this was her first marriage. Beyond Lida and William we do not know who the earlier children could be.

      Much work needs to be done on this lady.
