Warren County, Ohio Deeds:
38/675. 3/6/1860; D.C. Osborn, J.C. Osborn & E. Kelley to Heirs of Jno.
Osborn Senr. Dec'd, Know all men by these presents
That whereas our Father John Osborn Sen who lately died in New Orleans
did attempt about the year 1851 to make a will here which was authentcated
and Recorded before a Notary Public of the City of New Orleans, but as the
said John Osborn from family troubles had for some years before lost the
proper ballance of his mind in relation particularly to some of his
children whom by this will he disinherited with a legacy of merely five
dollars or some small amount and on account of whose alienation of mind he
had been duly delcared by a judge of Warren County, Ohio, of unsound mind
and incapable of managing his own affairs ahd has been from that time until
his death under guardianship. Now therefore in consideration of these
facts and to prevent a tedious and expensive litigation which our attempt to
set up and establish said will would inevitably lead to and that without
probability of success we Daniel C. Osborn, Jonathan Osborn and Elizabeth
Kelley, widow, late Osborn, three of the children and heirs of said John
Osborn and the principal legatees under said will do hereby release all
claim under said will in favor of all the heirs and those who may become
purchasers of land of said John Osborn's estate only holding and retaining
our legal shars in said estate respectively as if no will had been made or
attempted to be made by said John Osborn.

JOHN OSBORN (deceased) [This was John, Sr.'s son-dek] was born in Lebanon, Warren Co., Ohio, in 1805; his father, John Osborn, came to Lebanon in 1796, and settled on a farm adjoining the eastern corporation of Lebanon, where he, in 1808, built a
house, which is still standing and which is yet considered a good residence. He was with Daniel Boone when that famous Indian hunter discovered Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, to which state Mr. Osborn had moved from Virginia when very young. Our subject's
mother, Mary (Clark) Osborn, was a daughter of Rev. Daniel Clark, a pioneer Baptist preacher, who preached in Lebanon about the year 1800. Our subject remained on the farm until 14 years of age, in the meantime obtaining a limited education by
attending the Lebanon schools during the winter months. After leaving the farm, he learned and worked at pottery-making several years, after which he conducted a manufactory of that ware for several years more. At the death of his father, he purchased
the interests of the other heirs in the estate and moved to the old farm, which his estate still owns and which he farmed until he retired and moved to Lebanon. He traveled through the West from 1828 to 1854, and also spent eight years in Springfield,
Ohio, where he worked at his trade. In 1827, he married Miss Amy Ann Hackney, daughter of Obadiah Hackney, a prominent plow manufacturer of Lebanon. She died in 1855, after having borne him eleven children, four of whom still survive. In 1856, he was
again married, to Mrs. Emeline (Dee) Grow, by whom he had no children. Mr. Osborn died in Lebanon Dec. 26, 1881. He was a careful, frugal and economical man, and had at his death amassed a considerable fortune. He was a zealous member of the M. E.
Church, in which he was for many years and up to the time of his death an officer. His widow and a grandchild are the only members of his family living in Lebanon.
Perhaps married a second time?
