Elijah and Henry Osborn (any spelling--orsburn-Osborne, etc) moved to Clark County, Arkansas around 1860-70. They apparently came from Alabama (I can find Elijah on the Cherokee Co., Ala census but I can not find Henry. I believe he was born in Jackson County, Georgia in the 1820's.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Molene

Do you know Elijah's parents names by any chance? Which census can you find Elijah on in Alabama? when was Elijah born?

Are Henry and Elijah brothers or father and son?
I keep trying to look but there are so many Henrys and Elijah's in Arkansas that I am lost.
The Henry I see in 1880 is married to a Martha and has several children all of whom were born in Arkansas. The oldest is 16 which means they would have been there at least by 1854. This Henry was born in Georgia tho. Can you give us a few more details.

IF my brain fuctioned at all I could have read the topic heading..., but ah ha I see hwen you got to reply the name of the post disappears...So I am not a complete moron. Only partially.

Still if you have a single other detail it will help. I see Henry was born about 1820, but how about Elijah?
