Rev. Osby,
How are you.My name is Brent Butler and I'm a 22 year old college student at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, AR. The reason I'm writing you is because I'm related to the Osby's.My mothers maiden name is Osby and I would certainly like to find out some facts about this side of my family, and would like to find my relatives.
I read the follow up that you sent to Lenne a while back.I read through some your relatives names you listed, but I didn't recognize any of them.I guess one positive thing about your letter is that you said the place of origin for your family was Byhalia, Mississippi.Well I have heard through word of mouth that my family originated from Mississippi also.Where exactly, I don't know but it would certanily be interseting to find out.
Here, I would like to give you the names of some of my older family members:deceased- Napoleon Bonaparte Osby(great-grand-father) Elisabeth (Mahommes) Osby -great-grandmother, Dan Osby, Will Osby,- siblings of my great-grandfather.Living relatives- Rosie Lee (Osby) Age, and Ora Lee Osby- siblings of my grandmother, Menervie Osby.
Are any of these names familiar to you?Maybe you can ask you uncles.Oh, by the way, my family currently lives in the central/eastern Arkansas area, between Little Rock, and Pine Bulff, Ar.We're not that far from Memphis just a 2 hr drive away, and that's not a great distance from Mississippi either, the place or origin.
If possible write me back and let me know if you find anything.
Sincerely,
Brent Butler
