Anything on George (b. abt. 1827), father of Henry (b. about 1855), father of Annie?

Charles Osman's son John Osman b.1790

PLMiller1207 — 2012-01-31 14:36:28Z

I'm so close to proving direct lineage back to Charles Osman, a Revolutionary War patriot. All I need is actual proof that John Osman who married Hannah Carson, is indeed the son of Charles & Kezziah Higgins. Some of John's siblings are Sarah, Jabez & Simon. There are several people who have gone into DAR & SAR on Simon, Sarah & Jabez, but evidently I'm the first to try to go in on John. If I could even prove John's siblings, that would be enough proof.
I hope someone can help.

Re: Thomas Osman, or is it Thomas Osborn?

adamtosman — 2011-12-06 18:18:54Z

That is interesting. I have not heard of that connection, but if you find any modern Osborn decedents that are willing to take the paternal DNA test it could rule it out if its not a match.

Raymond, good to hear from you. I don't really have much info on the Easters who were involved in the good ole "Bloody Bridge Incident". The only things I've read, you probably have also, I think it was phrased something like "bad feelings had existed between the families for some years". I'm not sure of the reason(s) for the "bad feelings", but I may have found a clue. In the 1830's (1838 I think)there was a property sale from the estate of Charles Osman (my ancestor. An Easter was a buyer and I wonder if there were feelings that the property was sold too cheaply, or didn't have to be sold, or something like that. But that is pure speculation. The story that has reached us in the last couple of years, and no one knew about this in my family until I unearthed it several years ago,is this: Great grand Uncle Simon Sr. and a couple of his sons started celebrating pretty early in the day, and got quite drunk. Uncle Simon then decided he wanted to go across the bridge before it was officially dedicated, and proceeded to do that. James Easter and his sons didn't think that was right, challenged them, fought it out and you know the rest. One account is that the Easter's fled to Kentucky to escape the law. I guess that's where you went to hide back then, but that's heresay also. One other thing that an older cousin told me is that my great-grandfather Scott Osman and his wife Bertha "Maude" Smith Osman were sort of like the Romeo and Juliet of Adams County because she was related to the Easters ( I don't know how yet). Apparently their families didn't speak due to the incident. Let me know what you're able to find out. Event though Simon Sr. isn't in my direct line it's a fascinating piece of family lore that can't be lost again. I did think Simon was a great-grandfather, but he was an uncle.

Mr. Osman,

I'm trying to confirm if the James Easter in the "Bloody Bridge" incident is my 2nd great grand uncle. Do you have more identifying information on the Easter's involved. I would also be interested in the Osman family's account that has been passed down through your family.

Thanks

I have looked into the DNA testing and since my brother and only male that was left in my family passed away in May I have been told that the only DNA that I can be tested for would be my maternal side. So I can't test for the Osman side.

Re: Osman/Ossman/Ossmann

My Osman line moved from NY through PA. I do not recognize any of your names, although there are several of us that cannot connect our trees but have been linked through DNA. If you have tried everything else, i recommend anyone with the Osman last name to give the paternal DNA test a shot.

Re: Osman/Ossman/Ossmann

Carole1208 — 2010-10-10 17:04:12Z

I dont know if I am searching the same line or not. I have an ancestor, John Wolfgang Ossman, who also lived in Kings County, Brookly, NY. He was born in 1862 and emigrated in 1867 from Nurnberg. He married Meta Eggers in 1892, and had 6 children, only 2 survived to adulthood, Edward and Kundagunda Ella. John was a cooper.
Meta's full name was Margatethe Maria Elisabeth Meta Eggers.
I have been unable to find a death certificate for John to see his parents names.
Do you have this name in any of your ancestry? I suspect there was a brother, Henry, but cannot prove it.

My name is Laila Osman. My dad came to Lagos, Nigeria - met with my mother and had me. He then married another woman and had 2 female kids. I can remember when young being told where he came from in Lebanon - even that I looked like his sister but with the passing of time I have forgotten. He has since passed away but I wonder if someone in Lebanon know of a son who came to Nigeria as a young man and made it his country? Would be nice to connect with family in Lebanon.

Hello,
I read your post regarding Bipolar/OCD and the connection of the last name Osman. Do you have any family in England that is of Turkish descent? My family is from England and the name Osman was given to all of my Great Grandmothers children on my mother's father's side of the family. I am trying to find connections that link the Osman's to any Turkish ancestry.
I have 2 boys, one who suffers from Depression/possible bipolar and a younger son diagnosed in the Spectrum of Autism whom now is brilliant but socially quite different than his peers, but such a lovely young man. Thank you in advance for any information that you might share!

Original destination was Steubenville, Ohio, but stayed with her sister, Mrs. Rudolph Pavlovic of Steelton, PA for a brief time. Rudolph does appear in the 1912 Harrisburg City Directory, but is not listed in any prior or subsequent directories.

Is there any evidence that would confirm or dispel the position that the Thomas Osborn of the New Haven Colony in the 1640s is the same person as Thomas Osman in 1640s Southold, Long Island, NY? Thomas Osborn’s suspected brothers are Richard, Goodman, and Jeremiah.

Osman DNA matches

adamtosman — 2010-01-08 02:53:15Z

Request for any Osman, especially from the Immigrant Thomas Osman, Long Island line who has had their DNA tested, even if it was tested through a company other than ancestry.

As long as you have an ancestry username, they allow DNA transfers to be manually entered from any third party company for free, so you don’t have to purchase a new test from ancestry.

You do not have to have a paid subscription to ancestry.

On their site they have a DNA button, or you could go direct here http://dna.ancestry.com/welcome.aspx

Once you are there, close to the bottom there is a link that says “Transfer Results from Other Lab”

If you are interested, I have started a group on the site http://groups.ancestry.com/site/69379778/

The spelling of his last name is Osman, not Ossman as appears in census records.

George and Kitty Osman (Ossman)

adamtosman — 2009-11-22 04:53:59Z

I am looking for information on the children of George and Kitty Osman. I have the following census information, but I am trying to find out more about what happened to Kitty between 1850 and 1860, and where the children went, specifically Isaac.
1850 CENSUS – UPPER MAHANTANGO TOWSHIP, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY
George Ossman, Age 33, Male, b.1817, Laborer
Kitty, Age 36 (30?), Female, b.1814/1820
Sarah, Age 12, Female, b.1838
Elizabeth, Age 10, Female, b.1840
Eleah, Age 7, Female, b.1853
Isaac, Age 5, Male, b.1845
Angeline, Age 4 (11?), Female, b.1846/1839
Henry, Age 3, Male, b.1848
Cornelius, Age 2months, Male, b.1850

1860 CENSUS - UPPER MAHANTANGO TOWSHIP, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY
George Ossman, Age 40, Male, b.1820
Sarah Ossman, Age 19, Female, b.1841
Henry Ossman , Age 12, Male, b.1848
Carnelias Ossman, Age 10, Male, b.1850
Kitty Ann Ossman, Age 8, Female, b.1852

I think the Isaac below may be the Isaac from 1850, but he is listed as a border with the Fedderolfs and he was only 13, seems odd to me. I have not found the Fedderolfs in any other census record either.

1860 CENSUS - UPPER MAHANTANGO TOWSHIP, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY
Harris Fedderolf, Age 28, Male, b. 1832
Catherine Fedderolf, Age 22, Female, b. 1838
Isaac Ossman, Age 13, Male, b. 1847

I found one post online where someone was inquiring into: “George Osman whose will was probated on April 6, 1882 in Schuylkill County. He lived in Upper Mahantango Township at the time of his death. Children mentioned in the will are, daughter Sarah, daughter Elizabeth Raybuck, daughter Jane Han, daughter Angeline Maurer, and sons Henry, Isaac, and Cornelius.”

I would like to get a copy of that will if it is available.

Based off the post above it appears that a few of the daughters were married, so I have their last names, but can’t find any additional information on them.

From the 1880 census I found the following information. There is an 11 year old girl named Ida here (listed as a daughter to the head of the household) but it is hard to believe that George had an 11 year old daughter by then. I am thinking maybe a granddaughter but I have no way of confirming who her real parents are. Anyone have any information on that?

1880 CENSUS - MAHANOY TOWSHIP, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY
George Osman, Age 62, Male, b.1815, widower
Sarah Osman, Age 40, Female, b.1840, daughter
Ida Osman, Age 11, Female, b 1869, daughter??

That's a lot, but any help would be awesome.

Osman in Somerset

kirstyosman — 2009-08-25 19:29:11Z

Hi
I have traced my surname back and have my great, great grandfather William Osman who originally came from Somerset (he moved to Wales where he married and our family has since been). His parents were James and Sarah Osman. In the 1861 census I have them as living in Cannington in Somerset. William had the following siblings - Maryann Osman, John Osman, Thomas Osman, James Osman. If anyone has any info on Osmans in somerset around this time I would love to hear from you. Im particularly interested in tracking down Thomas (aged approx 5 in the 1861 census). He appears on my g.g.grandfathers death certificate in 1892 (in Cardiff) but his address is Barn St in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire. Ive checked the 1891 and 1881 census but cant find Thomas. If anyone knows anything of him I would be very interested.

Osman family health

cabwms — 2009-08-24 00:25:36Z

Can/will anyone comment on what health issues may have come down his/her Osman line? Most especially I'm interested in whether other branches of the clan are affected by bi-polar disorder, formerly known as obsessive-compulsive disorder. One of my children has been diagnosed, and it was thought the gene came down another line, but one of my Osman cousins had a sister diagnosed with it, also, which has gotten us wondering! Thanks, in advance, for your willingness to discuss. Please email privately if you wish, cabwms@gmail.com.

Simon Osman 1808-1876 Adams County Ohio

adamtosman — 2009-08-24 00:01:17Z

Searching for information on the family of Simon Osman(1808-1876) who lived in Ohio. He was married to Mary Ann Parks. I think that he had the following Children, but I am trying to verify this: Miranda b.1833, Charles b. 1835, Simon b. 1838-1920, Mary Ann b. 1840, William b. 1842, Isaac b. 1848, and Jane b. 1848.
I am looking for obituaries, current decedents, census record, and any information on this family.
So far what I have found out is that Simon was the son of Charles Osman (1761-1837) who was married to Kezziah Higgins (b.1770)

Just a follow up. Isaac did not come from Turkey. Harriet was never remaied to a Frank.

DNA shows Isaac is from the Immigrant Thomas, Long Island line.

I'm not sure how this works. I recently purchased the 33 marker DNA test from ancestry, but can those results be used in your project? If so, how can I go about getting involved? I am new to the DNA stuff, sorry.

OSMANs from early PA and beyond

BeverlyMorris16 — 2009-01-12 00:42:41Z

Hello,
I have traced my 3rd great-grandfather, John OSMAN, born circa 1810 to the Schuylkill Co., PA, area. Through perponderance of evidence, it appears his parents may be John OSMAN and Catherine SCHROPE that went to Seneca Falls, Seneca Co., PA, without him. - Please feel free to visit my family website 'OSMANs and Others'; URL http://osman.tribalpages.com. Everything I have is there. Would like to add any additions or corrections to it. I will give you credit for any information. - My OSMAN line may be from the Thomas OSMAN of Long Island, NY. I need to find an OSMAN male relative to do the DNA test. - ~Blessings, Bev

Searching for Parents of Isaac Osman, Shamokin, PA

adamtosman — 2008-06-20 13:43:41Z

I am trying to find parents of Isaac Osman from Shamokin, PA, Northumberland Co.

He was born in Nov 1846 and died 12 Nov 1906. I have tons of info on his Wife Harriet S. Bordner, and his children,Emma M, Minnie N, William F, Alice L, but I can't seem to find any info about his parents/grandparents.

His wife Harriet was remarried to a Frank E. Osman/Osmun after his death so it is possible that he and Frank were related.

The rumor is that either Isaacs dad or grandfather came from Turkey but I cant prove this either.

In 1860 there are 2 records for Isaac Osman in Pennsylvania, 1 born abt 1855 and 1 born abt 1848.

I thought the 1848 one was probably the one I wanted as the cencus says: Household: John Osman 40 PA, Mary A Osman 40 PA, John Osman 16 PA, Isaac Osman 12 PA, Mary Miller 15

But, One reason I cant call John a positive match as his father is because according to familysearch.org, the Isaac Osman born in 1848 birth and death date do not match up with the the Issac I am looking for.

Familysearch has an Isaac born 21 MAY 1848 Harrisburg, Dauphin, Pennsylvania and a death of 16 DEC 1880. My Isaac was born November 1846 and died 12 Nov 1906. I know this info to be correct based on his headstone and cemetery records in Shamokin, PA.

I am looking for a document that says who Issac's dad was before I call it a possitive match. So far I havent found any record of Isaac that lists his dads name.

Re: Isaac and Harriet S. Osman, Shamokin, PA

adamtosman — 2008-06-16 15:01:54Z

Posting a follow up to my own post, but still looking for information on Isaac.

Isaac Osman lived and is burried in Shamokin, PA. He was married to Harriet Bordner, also burried in Shamokin. She was not an american indian as claimed above.

Isaac was most likely NOT an immigrant from Turkey, but its possible his father or grandfather was. I am trying to find information on his father/grandfather/brothers/sisters.

Isaac was born in November of 1846, Died November 12, 1906.

His wife was Harriet S. Bordner (b. 1853 D. 11/16/1924) was the daughter of John and Lavina (Weary) Bordner.

adamtosman — 2008-05-21 13:40:49Z

I am looking for information/liniage/family of Isaac Osman and his wife Harriet. I am told he came to America from Turkey by way of France around 1880, but have no way to verify this.

I am also told his wife, Harriet S., was an American Indian with the last name of Bourdnor, although the spelling may not be correct on that. I am seeking her correct surname.

Leads I have are that Isaac was born November 1846 in Turkey and Died around Nov. 12, 1906. Harriet died around November 16, 1924. They lived and are burried in Shamokin, PA. They had at least one son named William Francis Osman. in 1887.

Thomas Osman Jr.

[Age 84] The marine engineer participated in the invasion of Italy in 1943 and sailed on more than 25 ships.
By Frederick N. Rasmussen | Sun reporter
September 20, 2007

Thomas Osman Jr., an American merchant marine engineer whose career on the high seas spanned more 30 years and three wars, died Sept. 13 of lung cancer at Stella Maris Hospice in Timonium. The Baldwin resident was 84.

Mr. Osman was born and raised in Quakertown, Pa., and after graduating from high school in 1940, went to work for Bethlehem Steel Corp. in Bethlehem, Pa.

In 1942, Mr. Osman enrolled at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, N.Y., and the next year he was a cadet aboard the Liberty ship Ward Hunt.

"We went to Europe in a 40-ship convoy," Mr. Osman told Ernest F. Imhoff, former managing editor of the Evening Sun and author of Good Shipmates: The Restoration of the Liberty Ship John W. Brown 1942-2006. "First trip. It was pretty rough weather. Something must have happened with our mates one night. Morning came, and we were all by ourselves, bouncing around in the middle of the Atlantic.

"The sea was rough. Waves washed two of our lifeboats away. The U-boats were busy. As a single ship, we ended up on a northern stragglers' route to Belfast. We were lucky. In Belfast, we learned the Germans hit our convoy and sunk three or four ships," he said.

"It was the start. I sailed on more than 25 ships. It was always interesting, assistant or chief engineer. I sailed to many countries, never to Russia," Mr. Osman said in the interview. "My wife, Carole, was glad whenever I came home, but she knew the sea was my job. We had no children."

Mr. Osman participated in the invasion of Italy in 1943 and recalled the adverse wartime conditions he and his shipmates labored under trying to unload the ship.

"The Germans were still occupying most of Italy, so while we're doing this they're setting off bombs all around us. Took ten days to unload. We finally left and got back to New York," he said.

Mr. Osman who had earned his third engineer's license and was in the Naval Reserve, tried to join the Navy in 1944; after he was rejected because of nearsightedness, he remained in the merchant marine.

He was in the Pacific aboard a tanker when the war ended.

After studying at the Johns Hopkins University, Mr. Osman went to work as an engineer and later chief engineer for United States Lines from 1946 to 1960.

Mr. Osman went ashore in 1960 and worked for the next decade as a port engineer at Bethlehem Steel's Key Highway shipyard and Maryland Shipbuilding and Drydock Co., until shipping out again in 1970.

From 1971 to 1975, Mr. Osman made three or four voyages a year to Vietnam aboard ships that had been chartered by the military to deliver war materiel.

He retired in 1984, and, after the death of his wife in 1991, Mr. Osman was looking for something to do. So he joined his old colleague and friend from the United States Lines, Delacy "Cookie" Cook, who was also retired and working as chief engineer aboard the John W. Brown.

Mr. Osman spent the next 16 years working aboard the Liberty ship as night engineer, chief engineer, second assistant and third assistant engineer.

"Tommy was one heck of a find. He was also a good engineer and cheerful shipmate," Mr. Cook said. "He was also adept at fixing what needed to be fixed and keeping things rolling in the engine room."

Joe Carbo, another retired ship's engineer who worked with Mr. Osman in the Brown's engine room for a decade, remembered him as "a quiet, modest sort of guy" who was "a damn good engineer who had a world of experience."

It was characteristic of Mr. Osman to always be willing to "pitch in, give advice and use his expertise in helping solve problems. He was unflappable," Mr. Carbo said.

During his maritime career, Mr. Osman never lost a ship and "never lost his love of them," Mr. Imhoff wrote.

Services for Mr. Osman will be held at 11:30 a.m. Sept. 29 at the Mitchell-Wiedefeld Funeral Home, 6500 York Road, Rodgers Forge.

There are no immediate survivors.

Looking for info on a George & Charity Osman. I believe this is my gg-grandmother Martha (Osman) Sadler parents. I find George & Charity Osman in the 1880 Hardin County, IL census living next door to my gg-grandparents Samuel & Martha Sadler. In 1880 George was 65 farmer born in Germany. Charity was 48 a house keeper & also born in Germany. I can not find them in the 1870 census. I am not sure when they came to the U.S. . I can not find them in a earlier census. If any one has any info on them, I would love to hear about it!
