Salmon (sometimes called Solomon) Osborn was born in New York state about 1817. He moved into Ohio and married Mary Ann Coon on 18 Dec 1839 in Crawford Co. Their family in 1850 in Sycamore Twp., Wyandot County Ohio included Salmon and Mary Ann, daughters Lucy, Nancy Ann, Mary Frances, and a son Henry. Another daughter Lovina was born abt. 1852 before they left Ohio, and a son John was born about 1858 after they arrived in Indiana. In Ohio they lived close to the Coon family, Mary Ann's parents. Her father, John "Jake" Coon Sr., was a blacksmith there.
Salmon is not listed with the family in the Vermillion County IN 1860 census and is presumed to have died about 1858.
According to an 1948 letter from Lillie Rush Canaday, who had family ties to Salmon's daughter Nancy Ann, the Osborn family had lived SW of Cayuga, in or near the Beech Flats neighborhood (Lindsey Chapel). She stated that both Salmon and his wife were buried at Eugene Cemetery.
Daughters Nancy Ann (Brewer King) and Lovina (Gebhart) are also buried at Eugene. Lillie Canaday's letter stated that daughter Lucy died shortly after the family came to Indiana and is also buried at Eugene. There are no markers, and the grave locations are not known for Salmon, Mary Ann, or daughter Lucy.
Lillie Canaday's letter made reference to Salmon having been an itinerant preacher, but he likely farmed as his primary occupation. No other records have been found that show him to have been a minister or that connect him to any of the local churches.
