Read More	Jesse and Elizabeth filed their intentions to marry with Lick Creek Meeting 10-21-1835. They were married 11-26-1935. After the marriage they started their home on land that had been set aside for them by Jesse's father, described as Sec 29 Twp 1 N R 1 W and was part of what is now the Ballard Estate near West Baden, Indiana. Thirty years later they decided to move to another location. It is easy to guess why they chose northern Parke County for their new home since two older daughters had married and moved to that general area, Mary Ann (Williams) in nearby Illinois and Marth Ellen (Harvey) in neighboring Fountain County. Jesse's sister Achsa (Hadley) also lived in the same vicinity having gone there after her marriage to William Hadley in 1843. According to family knowledge they sold out their holdings in Orange County realizing near $10,000 which was no small sum at that time. On April 2, 1866, when their youngest child was 9 years old, Jesse and his family left Orange County in a covered wagon and drove to Parke County, the trip of about 100 miles taking one week. Again family word of mouth tells us that they carried their camp fire in a fire pot hanging from the coupling pole of the wagon. It is said that this fire was kept burning during the entire trip. Milton and William are said to have rode horses and drove the cows behind the wagon. A grandson, Fred Parent, of Tangier, Indiana has the cow bell worn by the lead cow on the trip. He also owns the steelyards which belonged to Jesse. They settled in Parke County on what is now the Warren Lindley farm and transferred their membership to Rush Creek Meeting near Sylvania. Jesse gave the ground on which the present Rush Creek Cemetery was established. More land has been added since. He lived only three years in his new Parke County home and is buried on the land he furnished for a new burial ground. All eleven children lived out full adult lives, although two daughters never married. The other nine all married and presented Jesse with thirty-four grandchildren, many of whom lived in or near Parke County with sizable families of their own. Of the thirty-four grandchildren there were nine by the name of Williams, five Harvey, four Woody, four Kenworthy, five Parent and seven Osborn. Of the Osborns four were boys, one of whom died at nineteen, leaving only three grandsons to carry on the family name. One grandson, Virgil G. Osborn, lived near Bloomingdale at this writing. He and his wife Odelia celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary on May 31, 1969. She died 10-17-1969. They had two married daughters living nearby--Catherine (Hoover) b 5-24-1907, Inez (Carpenter) b 1-7-1910. * * * * * * * Taken from "Mathew Osborn and His Family" by F.
