County, married Martha Hodson, the daughter of

at Lick Creek Monthly Meeting in Orange County, Indiana by a certificate from
Center Monthly Meeting in North Carolina which was dated August 16, 1817 US21, HI4. In a written history of the
settlement of Northwest Township, which was later renamed to Orangeville
Township (in Orange County), the families of three men purportedly settled in
that area in 1818: John Field, Neely Rayborn, and Abraham Osborn HI9. On March 25, 1818, Abraham “Orsborn”, the assignee of Samuel
Daugherty, was issued a land patent for the northwest
quarter of Section 29, Township 2 North, Range 1 West in Orange County, Indiana
GE4. On
September 27, 1819, Samuel Coble and Thomas Vandeveer, Associate Justices for
the Orange County Probate Court, appointed Abraham as the guardian of his six
nieces and nephews, who were the children of Martha’s sister, Mary (Hodson)
Frazier, and Mary’s deceased husband, Mathew Frazier OS1. In 1819 or 1820, Abraham was obliged to pay $4 to the County
Treasury, for refusal to bear arms HI9. His
name was written as Abraham “Osburn” in the 1820 UN7 and 1840 UN9 censuses,
and “Orsburn” in the 1830 census UN8.
Abraham “Osburn”
purchased two plots of eighty acres apiece in Township 2 North, Orange County,
Indiana on July 8, 1823; these two parcels of land were the west half of the
northeast quarter of Section 29, and the west half of the southwest quarter of
Section 20 GE4. On April 10,
1832, Abraham Osborn purchased eighty acres of land, which was the west half of
the southeast quarter of Section 9 in Township 2 North, Orange County GE4. He bought another two lots of forty
acres apiece in the same township on September 10, 1835; one lot was the
northeast quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 20, and the other was the
northeast quarter of the northwest quarter of Section 32 GE4. He bought another eighty acres on August
1, 1839 (the east half of the northeast quarter of Section 29), and his final
purchase of forty acres (the southwest quarter of the southeast quarter of
Section 20) occurred on May 25, 1841 GE4.
Frederic Verne
Osborn stated that Abraham and Martha’s first house, approximately seven miles
northwest of Paoli, was a log cabin, but they later built a residence with
bricks which they had formed with their own hands OS1. White Water Monthly Meeting founded Lick
Creek Monthly Meeting in 1813, and in turn, Lick Creek Meeting began the
Newberry Monthly Meeting in 1826, and Abraham helped to acquire land for the
Newberry Friends Meetinghouse OS1. On
November 28, 1826, the three trustees for the Newberry Meetinghouse, Abraham
Osborn, Thomas Lindley, and Ebenezer Doan, purchased two acres from Alexander
Clark and Henry Towel for the sum of $50 HI9.
In approximately the year 1830, he owned a treadmill, which he and John Brown
later rebuilt on Lost River, where it became a water-powered gristmill HI9.
Abraham died between

Jesse Osborn, presented his will in court, which was proved by Joseph Henley

1821 UN10, UN11, UN12, UN13 in Indiana UN10, UN11, UN12, UN13. A birth record written in

also probably partially incorrect; it stated that he died at age sixty-three
years and sixteen days on November 6, 1889 and was buried at Newberry Cemetery US11. Another death record stated that he died at age seventy-two on
