Note	Ephriam is said to have been married to Elizabeth Howard, though proof is lacking. Howards did live beside these Osborns on the Yadkin River, NC. Osborns and Howards did travel together from NC to VA to Harlan Co., KY. Jeff Weaver in a letter dated 30 Jan. 1995, said that he is not convinced that Elizabeth was the wife of Ephriam, and certainly not convinced that Ephriam was married twice. In regards to the Ashe County, North Carolina, USA Heritage Book, Vol 2, Jeff had the following to say about the article on pg. 173 by Joseph Dixon: "I have no clue where he got his information on the Howards, but his information on the Osbornes is GOOOOOFY, so I don't put much stock in anything he submitted. Maybe a well-meaning soul, I don't know him, but he is repeating the same old Osborne stuff which was "invented". I have seen other folks claim that Ephriam Osborne was married twice, however, I have never been convinced that his wife was Elizabeth Howard. This whole story began when Will Daniels, an attorney hired a professional, name escapes me now, but both are dead, submitted his report with the Greata Holman business et al. When reputable folks tried to followup and obtain more information they could find none of these folks in records for Tidewater Virginia. An investigation of the professional revealed that he was prone to invent something to satisfy his clients. I suppose he figured since someone hired him they didn't have time or ability to do the research on their own. At any rate, Will Daniels discovered he had been hoodwinked, but not before he had spread this stuff all over New River Valley and beyond. He did some on the Hashes which is equally as goofy, still causing problems with that stuff too. Mrs. Myrtle Greer Johnson and her sisters, excellent researchers in their own right as well as Rita Sutton whose stuff seems to be sound, never bought into this stuff. In fact Myrtle was the one who discovered that the professional genealogist was a fraud. I suspect that the Ephriam Osborne on New River originated in Dutchess Co., NY as one of the right age disappears about the right time, but this is only speculation on my part. If this could be proven, then a lineage of several more generations should be easy to construct. There is a lot done on the Osbornes in CT, where the Dutchess Co. group was originally from. Others suspect New Jersey, USA or PA as points of origins for Ephriam. Possible, but no one, as far as I know, has come up with a good clue."
