Child 3 above was my spouse's grandfather. He was married to Jennie M. Brown, daughter of Charles Brown and Martha (Marilla) Graham.

Jenny M. Brown abandoned Ernest Leslie Osborn after 1933 with 13 children to raise sometime during the great depression years. The State of Michigan took the children from Ernest and most of these children ended up in foster homes. Ernest Leslie Osborn died in Tuscola County, Michigan in 1963.

We would like to learn information regarding any of the above mentioned individuals and especially what became of Jennie M. Brown, direct descendant of David Irish.

Thank you in advance!
