Disputed Origins
A previous version of this profile claimed, without source, that she was daughter of Redbird and that Redbird was the same as someone named Aaron Brock [Sr]. There are no documented wife or children of Redbird. There is no record that associates him as the same man as Aaron Brock. He has been detached as father of this profile. Please use g2g to discuss evidence for his origins. Thank you.

I believe that Ephraim Osborn-2384 is the son of John Osborne born about 1690 at Henrico Co, VA and who bought 400 acres at Amelia Co VA in 1738 along side the William Sizemore-380 family who also bought there in 1737.
http://www.directlinesoftware.com/Pool/nottoway.txt
This is just WEST of the city of Richmond, VA.
The Sizemore family left there in 1741 to settle at Wynne's Creek, Banister River, Brunswick Co VA, which became Lunenburg Co in 1746, and finally Halifax Co VA in 1752.
I believe the Osborne family also left Amelia Co VA and settled simiarliy with the Sizemore family, and furthermore, when members of the Sizemore family, such as George Sizemore-29 left Virginia to settle at Ashe Co VA, they were still with the same Osborn family.
Ephraim Osborne-2336 married Mary Brock-3920, d/o Susannah Sizemore-2528, d/o Henry Sizemore-691, s/o William Sizemore-380 who bought his land in Amelia Co VA long with John Osborne, as I previously described. Ephraim Osborne-2336, s/o Ephraim Osborne-2384
Sarah A. Sizemore, d/o George Sizemore-29, married Elias Osborne-3911, s/o Jonathan Osborne-1310, s/o Ephraim Osborne-2384
George Sizemore-29, s/o Edward Sizemore-38, s/o Henry Sizemore-691, s/o William Sizemore-380 and Margery Owen-4843
I would suggest any dedicated Osborne researchers comb records in Amelia Co VA in the 1730-50 period looking for land bought and sold, next go through records of land on Wynne's Creek, Banister River, which was Lunenburg Co VA in 1746, but became Halifax Co VA in 1752. It remains Halifax still today. This is on the NC-VA border, just north of the present town of Halifax, VA which sits just North of the city South Boston.
I imagine you will find an Osborne family there, a son or grandson of the man I mention in Amerlia Co VA, and that Osborne man or men, would be the ones in the 1770-80 period give or take left Virginia and went due West to Ashe Co NC and set up household, and the rest is history.
In other words, the Sizemore family in Ashe Co NC is originally from Wynne's Creek, Banister River, VA and settled in Ashe Co NC. It is there that the Sizemore family and Osborne family had 2 separate marriages.
Best regards, Lilly Martin (descendant of John Swindle, Jr of Cranberry Creek, Ashe Co NC)
