WARNING! TWO DIFFERENT OSBORN FAMILIES WHOSE DESCENDANTS HAVE THE SAME NAMES ARE BEING CONFUSED!
DNA analyses is a rapidly advancing technology that family history researchers can use to supplement conventional records-based research. It is particularly useful in surmounting brick walls that we all encounter due to missing or ambiguous written records. My sixth great-grandfather was Jeremiah Osborne, who was living on lot #18 of the South Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River in 1748 when his land was surveyed by the James Genns survey team, which included the young George Washington.
Jeremiah had three sons: George, Jeremiah Jr., and John. Searching the Internet, I found DNA data for descendants of all three sons. All three DNA sets (haplotypes) matched exactly (28/28 comparable markers). This was both surprising and gratifying, considering that they represented three separate branches of Jeremiah's family, each tested by a different DNA company. Jeremiah’s haplotype, which would be the same as that of his three sons, was then compared with the haplotypes for two confirmed descendants of Thomas Osbourne, who was the founder of New Haven, Connecticut, and is thought to be the ancestor of many of the early American Osborns.
Thomas and Jeremiah's haplotypes were the same except for one marker. Thomas and his descendents have DYS391=11, whereas Jeremiah and his descendants have DYS391=12 This close but not exact DNA correspondence indicates that my Jeremiah definitely shares a common ancestor with Thomas Osbourne, but probably does not descend directly from Thomas.
More importantly, finding that my Osbourne family is characterized by DYS391=12 allowed me to search the online DNA data bases and find five other American Osborne lines with exactly the same haplotype as my Jeremiah, indicating a very close family relationship. These five lines all appear to originate in Virginia or the Carolinas rather than New Jersey or Connecticut.
This means that great care must be exercised to avoid confusing the families and replacing Jeremiah of the South Fork's descendants with Thomas' descendants!
Jeremiah Osborne, Jr. Is Not the same person as Jeremiah Osborne, of the South Fork Jeremiah Osborne, Sr. Was not the father of Jeremiah Osborne, of the South Fork Y DNA does not match.

After a few generations Stephen's descendant George Osborne 1729 has a descendant, George Jackson Osborne that married a descendant of John Osborne b. 1634 and Mariam Rebecca Hand, by the name of Mary Polly Robinette 1703-1869 the daughter of Ann Osborne.This Ann Osborne desends from John Osborne 1631 the brother of Stephen 1634. Now here is the thing, MALE DNA is carried from the male ancestor to the grandfather- to the Paternal Father- to the son. SO, by marrying her own distant cousin, Mary Polly Robbinette threw a MONKEY WRENCH, into the Y-DNA geerbox! Meaning that even though she was a descendant of John Osborne 1634, by marrying George Jackson Osborne the descendant of Stephen Osborne 1634 she NOW CHANGED THE DNA RESULT for all the male descendants of her children, grandchildren, and so on and so forth! BUT if you back up a generation or two, the other male Osbornes in the line of John don't have that problem! And their DNA result will be off by 1 number.
NOW, if you read the book, "Early Osbornes and Alleys", by Rita Kennedy Sutton, within 30 minutes of reading that book, I found 6 marriages of Osborn/es marrying Osborn/s. And Each and every marriage in that family NEEDS TO HAVE THEIR DNA LOOKED AT VERY CLOSELY ALSO!
I wonder how many Genealogist and researcher turned out to be drunks after studying the genealogy of the line of John Osborne 1634 and Mariam Rebecca Hand?!!! Funny? Couldn't they grab a horse and get out of the neighborhood to find a husband or wife? Well, as I said, that was 6 of those marriages in 30 minutes! But I believe there are more of them on that line!
Then as I look at the other trees of the Children of Thomas Osborne 1594/5 and Mary Goatley's children, in their son Thomas Jr. line one of the marriages was to the line of John Osborne 1631.
Above I see Erica has a note- Jeremiah Osborne, Jr. is not the same person as Jeremiah Osborne of the Sourth Fork. Your answer to that is in Volume 5 or 6 of the "Claypool" and "Claypools in America"!

This is not the way Y DNA works, it’s unaffected by the female. It can mutate, and those mutations are helpful in distinguishing generations.
No mutation Erica. What has happened is that George Osborne 1729 is from the line of Stephen Osborne b. 1634.

You have 2 Robinette marriages there. That is part of the monkey wrech!
Then if you go from John Osborne 1631 who is the brother of Stephen Osborne 1634 , you will keep going down the male side and several generations later a female from John's side married a male from Stephen's side of the family. (Involving the Robinette also). As if that isn't bad enough!!! There are several Osborne/Robinette marriages on the line of John. NOW with the DNA...."YOU always follow the male Y-DNA). Which you believe you were doing from the side of John 1631. BUT that female from John married the male from Stephen, and that is what is messing with your mind! Once she bridge the two families together, that is when you have to go with only the MALE LINE that she married into! I discussed this issue with a PROFESSOR! lol I recognized John's line 1631 and traced it from there. BUT the Professor was ONLY following the male line on Stephen's 1634 line. Technically speaking he was right. DNA doesn't lie, but it is "not a mutation", it is a cousin marring a cousin and confusing lay people! I knew about 3 of those marriages that descended from George Osborne 1729 and Annatjnet Hannah Westfall, but there are more than just 3 of them. Shirley Baker-Osborne has 4 that she knows about. But Wesley Noe has found 6 of them. In the book, "Early Osbornes and Alleys', by Rita Kennedy Sutton, I was reading the book and marked in color marker every time I found an Osborn/e marrying another Osborn/e. Within 30 minutes of reading I found 6. So who knows how many more of those marriages are out there like this~! Scott Osborne his brother Michael Osborne, Kay AXIVIER Harworth, Sarah Baker all come from this line of the family. IT is a down right dirty trick their ancestors have played on their relatives! Just remember, when you hit a female in genealogy you have to follow the male's DNA when tracing the genealogy.
Erica Horton- I absolutely love your reply about the way DNA works and is not suppose to work.
Y-DNA always follows the MALE. And when your are tracing it, you might have begun with a relative on the female's line...tracing from one Osborne to the next male---BUT when you come to the female---the DNA will change and then follow her husband's line. Some people call this a mutation. I renamed it and call it the BRIDGE. Meaning that they HAD to cross over to the other side! That is like me following the Osborn Y-DNA on my side of the family- descending from Thomas Osborne 1594 and Mary Goatley- to Stephen Osborne 1634 and Sarah Stansborough - to Jeremiah Osborne and Abigail Ogden- to Jeremiah Osborne and Phoebe Higgens- to John Osborn 1735 and Elizabeth Claypool 1739. the DNA stays with what we know is GROUP 4 DNA for Thomas Osborne 1594. But when I married my husband, my own son's DNA will switch to his father's DNA. Now in the thing above- the lady was an Osborne, BUT she married another Osborn and both sides shares the DNA from Thomas Osborne 1594 and Mary Goatley. But it will show up in the markers as a mutation! Meaning that there is a bridge to cross to connect both sides. And the DNA will show the switch by seeing the mutation. My cousin"s daughter actually works in this field! She is a geneticist. She came for a family reunion this year, and was fascinated that I was also into genealogy.
