“The Osborn Files” The History of the family of Charlotte Osborn Potter, Her children, and her ancestry Written and complied by Steven G. Mecham Text only is given below THE CHARLOTTE OSBORN POTTER FAMILY The children of Charlotte Osborn Potter at the time of her death remembered their mother as a kind and indulgent mother and the instrument in the hands of God of their conversion to the Gospel of Christ (1). Her story and the lives are her children are intertwined and hence this record contains an accounting of their lives. Charlotte Osborn, was born April 14, 1795 in Pawlet, Rutland County, Vermont, the eldest daughter of Justus Osborn and Susannah Dickerman(2). She was found living with her family in Pawlet, Vermont in 1800 (3), but the family moved to Pomfret Township, Niagara County, New York between 1809 or 1810 (4). She moved with her family from Chautauqua County, New York westward to Erie County, Pennsylvania, settling in Fairview Township some time between 1815 and 1816. She along with her father attended the first Methodist class held in his log cabin in Erie County, Pennsylvania in 1817(5). She met and married David Potter Jr. in Erie County, Pennsylvania in 1817 (6). They settled in then, Troy Township, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, which later became Avon Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania (7). In 1820, the area was still more or less frontier, so settlements and counties were in flux Their first child, Benjamin Potter was born in 1818 (8), a daughter, Esther Potter, was born in 1819 (9). Neither child lived to adulthood. -
Smithboro, a Means of Bringing Supplies Bring Salt
516 HISTORY OF CENTRAL NEW YORK of the settlements, the first framed one being in Owego about 1802. The first church formed in the county was the Baptist Church of New Bedford, organized February 20, 1796, by settlers in what is now the Town of Tioga. It had but nine members. As early as November 10, 1819, there was an agricultural society in the county. Tioga County, according to the official postal guide for July, 1930, has the following post offices: Apalachin, Barton, Berkshire, Candor, Catatonk, Halsey Valley, Lockwood, Lounsberry, New ark Valley, Nichols, North Spencer, Owego, Richford, Smithboro, South Apalachin, Spencer, Straits Corners, Tioga Center, Waits, Waverly, Willseyville. OWEGO. Owego, known as the southern gateway to the lake country, is a village of 4,739 inhabitants finely situated on the Susque hanna, near the mouth of Owego Creek. In 1922 the state com pleted the final link of the New York-Finger Lakes-Buffalo cross state motor route, thus placing Owego on a route fifty miles shorter than the old New York-Albany-Buffalo highway. At Owego the traveler leaves the Liberty highway and follows the new road to Ithaca. From time immemorial the Susquehanna River at Owego and the Finger Lakes at Ithaca have been connected first by an Indian trail, next by a pioneer roadway cut in 1789, and then the turnpike built from 1808 to 1811. During the War of 1812 this highway was of great value as a means of bringing supplies to the Atlantic seaboard, the Susquehanna River at that time being an important artery of commerce. -
A Survey of Recent Articles
AMONG THE MORMONS A Survey of Recent Articles Stephen W. Stathis FOR NEARLY A DECADE, SINCE MARY BRADFORD APPROACHED ME early one Sunday morning with the exciting opportunity of becoming part of the DIA- LOGUE staff, "Among the Mormons" has been a dear friend. Preparing this, my last column, has been particularly difficult, for it has meant closing the door on an extremely rewarding aspect of my life. It has been exhilarating to have a legitimate excuse (at least in my own mind) to take up literal residence in such friendly quarters as Eugene Need- ham's Booktable, a bookstore in my wife's ancestral hometown of Logan, Utah. Much of my children's love of books undoubtedly stems from the long hours they have spent amusing themselves in libraries and bookstores while waiting for Dad to fill up all his bibliography cards. Looking back, I am left with a deep appreciation for the hundreds of authors who have shared their varied insights of Mormonism. The watchful eye of such friends as Linda Thatcher, Gene A. Sessions, Lester E. Bush, and Mary Bradford, was especially helpful in drawing my attention to significant works that would otherwise have remained fugitive. To my wife, Barbara, I owe the most of all, for she made the whole venture possible and worthwhile. It has been a most enjoyable journey. GENERAL "Gay Articles Provoke Differing Reactions."

She married Francis Brown in 1858 2 Elizabeth Ann Birch Elizabeth Ann Birch was born on 22 Mar 1831 in Radnoirshire, Wales. In the IGI, her birth date is listed as 2 Nov 1821, a more plausible date if she married Arnold in 1843. Another recorded birth year is 1822. The 1850 census lists her as age 26 which would put her birth year about 1824. She was baptized in 1840 at Stanley Hill, England by Wilford Woodruff. She and her mother and brother had come to Nauvoo from Herefordshire, England. They had been among those converted by Wilford Woodruff and his companions at the Benbow farm.

UTAH The HAZARD FAMILY of RHODE ISLAND ; AUTHOR'S NOTE. HE compiler of this volume, who is a descendant of the Hazard family, has not endeavored to make a scientific, formal or final his- torical work, but simply a collection, more or less complete, of genea- logical data in relation to the Hazard family. Such sketches of individuals have been inserted as the writer has been able herself to compile, or readily to obtain from sources of information open to everyone. The facsimiles and portraits have been, as is often the case in books of this class, secured where it was possible to secure them, without always bear- ing a stricl relation to the importance of the individual represented. In many cases where it would have been desirable, owing to the eminence of the person in question, to have given them greater distinction by this means or by a very full biographical sketch, it has not always been possible to do so ; while, in other cases, less known members of the family have obtained a fuller treatment, owing to sources of information more readily available. -
