Emily was born about 1813 probably in the part of the county that was William Black’s enumeration responsibility in the 1810 U.S. census. 3 Her parents, Samuel Osborn and Elizabeth Holliday, did not have children at the time. 4 Ten years later they had three. Emily, the middle child, was enumerated by gender and age range. Her father was age 45 or older and owned five slaves. Her mother was in age range 26-44. 5 Emily’s father died before 17 January 1827. Abbeville District Court of Ordinary published his estate CITATION at Mount Moriah Meeting House 21 January 1827. 6 Where and when he was born are not known. He probably lived near where the meetinghouse was located. Because her father did not leave a will, his last wishes were not known. The administrator of his estate kept it open for several years until two children and the husband of a third child had turned 21. Waiting until the fourth child came of age would have required keeping the estate open for more years. However, if this child were disabled as she probably was, the administrator may have concluded she would never be able to live independently and asked the Ordinary for permission to distribute her portion of the estate when the widow’s portion was paid. When the administrator paid Emily’s mother her portion of the estate he named her Elizabeth Redmond not Elizabeth Osborn because she had remarried right away. The administrator also named Emily’s brother Milton 3 Abbeville District, South Carolina, Court of Ordinary, Receipts & Expenditures, 5 May 1834, Samuel Osborn Estate; Box 71, Pkg. 1748, Abbeville County Probate Court, Abbeville.
