Mararet Carter and Matilda Alcice Osborne
I am trying to find a great grandmother named Matilda Alice Osborne b. 1 Feb 1872 at Pen Oak, Liberty, Co. Texas, the daughter of Margaret Carter and ? Osborne.
She married a Collinds and her child married a Burwick.
Margaret ran an inn on the San Jacinto River near Cleveland, Liberty Co., Texas.Supposedly she was married to a Carter and He died(?).A man named Osborne came down the San Jacinto River on a riverboat and they soon maried.He took a job on/or near Tarkington(?) east of Cleveland and got sick.She went to take care of him and they both died.
Matilda and an older brother (possible a Carter, were left at the inn.A flood came and the Isaacks family lived near by. Grandpa Isaacks (no idea of given name) went in with his sons (?) to get the kids.Grandpa Issacks carried 4 year old Matilda our on his shoulders in chest high water.
I know this is all sketchy but I only have these clues from an old letter.Nothing more.I thought maybe some one had a clue about the Isaacks family near Cleveland in your research.You may have found the Missing Margaret and Matilda.
Any help would be appreciated.
I tried the census without much luck.
I also have nothing about the Osborne family. He supposedly was from Ill. or Ind.
Thanks
