Son of Adlai and Margaret Lloyd Osborne; husband of Nancy Smith (m. 25 June 1818); father of James Campbell Osborne and others.
Named for father's cousin, Ephraim Brevard.
"My father was a physician. I think he studied medicine in Charleston, SC. I has often heard him speak of the home at "Belmont" (the old red house near Davison. He was in the Indian War in Alabama and was in Fort Mimms in the Massacre, and was mentioned in the account of that terrible catastrophe as Lieutenant Osborne, and was one of the very few to escape. My father was also in the US Army at the Battle of New Orleans. I have heard him tell of the breast-works of cotton bales and of the dense fog that enveloped the whole face of the earth. My father married my mother in the year of 1818 in Alabama. In 1847 my father started with his family for Western Texas, but for some reason, he landed at Pine Bluffs, AR. n 1855, when he again started for Texas. He then settled in Hill County, Texas where he remained until his death in the year of 1876, on the 23rd day of May. He was buried in Salem Church Yard, Hill Co., Texas. He was a Presbyterian. His death was a gentle falling asleep, without pain, and in the hope of salvation. A plain marble slab marks his resting place on the west side of White Rock Creek, in Hill Co. Texas, near Salem Church." .... Edwin Augustus Young Osborne.
