The Osterhout line goes back in America to the 1650s, when Jan Jansen van Oosterhout helped to found New Amsterdam (Manhattan) as part of the colonization by the Dutch. He later moved up the Hudson River with other families and founded Kingston, NY as well as many other nearby areas in Ulster County, NY. Many of Lavina's ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War, and some moved west after the war and helped to settle the frontier in NY, and later MI. Lavina was the first child born to John and Roxana Osterhout in Prairie Ronde, MI in 1844. She married Charles Dent in 1864, gave birth to 13 children, and raised her family on a farm in Brady Township, MI. Later, they moved to Isabella County, MI, where Charles died in 1903. After Charles died, she married a man named Thomas Eaton, but he was mean, and she divorced him. She then met Casper Bryant, a Civil War Veteran and a wonderful man who treated her kindly, and they lived happily until his death in 1921. Lavina lived another 10 years, surrounded by her children and grandchildren, who were all very close.
