2. Candace Dacy (Osborne) Mullins (1814-1888)
3. Mary "Polly" Osborne (1818-1880) m. Caleb Collier

9. Olivey (Osborne) Baker (1826-1916)
10. David Jesse Osborne (abt.1831-abt.1890)

Household in 1820 Census ^[5]:

• 1 male age 16-25 (husband Benjamin)
• 3 females < 10 (Judah, Candace, Mary "Polly")
• 1 female 16-25 (Susannah)

Household in 1830 Census ^[6]:

• 1 male <5 years (Ruel Priest)
• 1 male 15-19 (most likely James although the age is off)
• 1 male 30-39 (husband Benjamin)
• 2 females <5 years (Oliviey and Mahala)
• 1 female 5-9 (Hannah)
• 2 females 10-14 (Elizabeth and Mary)
• 1 female 15-19 (either Judah or Candace)
• 1 female 30-39 (Susannah)

Household in 1840 Census ^[3]:

• 2 males <5 years (George and William)
• 1 male 15-19 (James)
• 1 male 40-49 (husband Benjamin)
• 1 female <5 years (Margaret)
• 3 females 10-14 (Hanna, Olivey, Mahala)
• 1 female 15-19 (likely Mary Polly although the age is off)
• 1 female 40-49 (Susannah)
• 1 female 70-79 (likely Susannah's mother-in-law Hannah Boling Osborne, age 74 in 1840)

The 1850 census names the three youngest children William, George, and Peggy in the household ^[4]. The 1860 census shows two young children (Levi (age 10) and Mathias (age 9) residing in the household of Benjamin and Susannah ^[7]. These are most likely their grandchildren, the sons of David Jesse Osborne (abt.1831-abt.1890) and his first wife Rhoda Keen who passed away before 1855. The children Levi and Mathias also appear on the 1860 census in the household of their father David and his second wife, Elizabeth Deel. It is likely the children spent time in both residences and were double-counted in the census.

Since her husband Benjamin (age about 80) resided with his son William and his family, and Susannah is not listed as part of the household, she likely passed sometime between 1860 and 1870 ^[8].
